Abstract
In example embodiments, a proprietary implementation of tile-based and/or non-tile-based graphics processing is provided at run-time as a binary for use in an open-source infrastructure modeling platform. An open-source repository from which the infrastructure modeling platform is built includes a backend module and definitions of the interface of a visualization module from a private repository that implements the tile-based and/or non-tile-based processing. The open-source repository lacks code for the underlying implementation of the visualization module. The implementation of the visualization module is instead maintained in a private repository and built therefrom. In operation, the backend module calls an exposed function of a DLL that returns a pointer to a binary implementation of the visualization module. When graphics of an infrastructure model are required, the backend module utilizes the defined interface with the pointer to request tile-based and/or non-tile-based processing from the visualization module.
