F# with OpenTK example?

Question

Hi!

Is anybody aware of a possibility to use C# libraries like OpenTK (http://www.opentk.com/) from F#, too? I'm especially interested in a Math toolkit library to give some scripts extra speed by taking advantage of the GPU from within F#.

What's a painless way to do that? :)

Answer 1

As Juliet mentions, you can use any .NET library from F#. Talking about OpenTK specifically, there is some material written by Laurent Le Brun (however, all of them are about graphics and not math):

• An introductory article: F# + OpenGL: a cross-platform sample
• More examples are in the samples/opengl directory in the F# cross platform project on CodePlex

It's probably not exactly the same thing as you're looking for, but it should help (e.g. if there are some tricky things that need to be done when using OpenTK from F#)
