__Wrapper__ - A wrapper is an interface that lies around a program or library, e.g. for compability resons, to emulate something or to restrict access.

''Example:'' OGRE is written in C++ and therefore can only be accessed via C++. But there are certain wrappers to enable you to use other programming languages such as Java, C# or Python.

To use C++ libraries with .NET applications an easy way is to wrap the code by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CLI|C++/CLI]. Only the needed functions have to be wrapped. A famous example is ((MOGRE|Mogre)).
