LibX is a platform-independent C++ software library used to provide handling of DirectX .X files.
It's mainly built of two statically linked libraries and one executable demonstrating the capability to load models and render them using OpenGL. The two libraries are:
libx_core [link]
This one parses the actual file and generates an in-memory-representation of the file content (similar to a .xml DOM tree.)
libx_model [link]
This library is able to convert the gnerated file representation into a representation that is easy to use for rendering. i.e.
- convert indices to 16bit representation if possible
- reorder streams of normals, positions, etc. so that they are indexable with one index for each vertex
- convert quad-faces to triangles
- etc.

LibX
LibX is a free, open source scholars' extension for the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers that lets people use services offered by their library. Users can search their library catalog(s) and databases through a search bar or through a context menu. The context menu is adaptive (changing depending on what the user selected) and configurable (allowing the user to include any configured resource). LibX supports the catalogs of all major vendors. In addition, any resource that can be searched using an http GET request can be included, similar to Firefox's smart keywords.
Resources can also be accessed using auto-generated links for DOIs, ISBNs, ISSNs, and PMIDs. Links are also placed in specific pages, such as book vendor sites or book review sites.
To support off-campus access to resources, users may reload a current page, or follow a link through a proxy server. LibX activates COinS with the library's OpenURL resolver.
LibX supports a "magic search" functionality, which creatively integrates use of the Google Scholar service. LibX searches Scholar, performs a heuristic similarity analysis to determine if a match was found, then redirects the user to the user's OpenURL resolver to obtain an accessible copy.
