Libvisual (original) (raw)

Libvisual is an abstraction library that fits between applications and audio visualisation plugins. Often when it comes to audio visualization plugins or programs that create visuals, they depend on a player or something else; basically, there was no general framework that enabled application developers to easily access interesting audio visualization plugins. Libvisual wanted to change this by providing an interface towards plugins and applications; through this interface, applications can access plugins. Since the drawing is done by the application, it also enables the developer to draw the visual anywhere desired.
