* *Lightweight and modular C++11/C++14 graphics middleware to power your dreams.*
Looking for an open-source library that gives you graphics abstraction and
platform independence on major desktop, mobile and web platforms? Do you want
it to have all the convenience utilities around yet stay small, powerful and
not give up on flexibility? *Here it is.* And it's free to use, even for
commercial purposes.

@section mainpage-goals1 Beauty of simplicity
Among Magnum essentials is a UTF-8-aware OS, filesystem and console
abstraction, a feature-packed vector math library and a slim C++11 wrapper of
OpenGL / WebGL family of APIs. Build on top of that or opt-in for more.

@section mainpage-goals2 With batteries included
Shaders and primitives for fast prototyping, algorithms, debugging and
automatic testing, asset management, integration with popular windowing
toolkits and a UI library. Everything fits together but you still have a
choice.

@section mainpage-goals3 Screws are not glued in
There's always more than one way to do things. Enjoy the freedom of choice and
integrate your own asset loader, texture compressor, font format or math
library, if you feel the need. Or use any of the various plugins.
