CSGL:
I would like to announce the release of my beta library
for D!
What is the best plan of action at this point to
contribute it to
the D
community? (the library still needs debugging and
optimization
support,
I've only tested it on my machine)
For those interested the library hast he following
features
currently
supported:
1. CSGL exists on a series of overlays over the
workspace - by
simply
design one can simulate traditional gui's.
2. CSGL has context sensitive capabilities - Allows one
to change
the
gui depending on what actions have previously taken
place.
3. CSGL is intelligent and can find optimal patterns in
your work
flow.
You are presented with what you need at that point. The
self
modifying
gui can adapt not only visual elements but also context
sensitive
hotkeys, mouse interact, and even things such as MIDI,
OSC, COM,
etc.
4. CSGL has a built in fully capable scripting editor.
One can not
only
write their on wrappers around the gui elements but also
design
commonly
used macros to reduce complex gui interaction tasks. One
can even do
such things as animation using the scripting language
5. CSGL has pluggable modules that can be freely used by
any gui
that
recognizes them. One can also access them through
scripting.
6. The visual template of the gui can be easily changed
through the
gui
template library. (your apps can be reskinned by a few
clicks)
7. Full multi-monitor support, including automatically
tracking
usage
patterns to present the user with the best possible
scenario.
8. Full User-Edit mode. By a special hotkey the user can
go into
edit
mode and configure and edit the different gui elements.
The same
editor
is used to the design the gui.
Features to come: Full GUI editor(not done yet).
Something like
Blend.
--
Next week I will be able to upload a working demo that
shows off
some of
the capabilities; Some of the graphics treats such as
alpha channel
tricks, along with how context sensitive gui's work.
The demo is a graphics program that essentially changes
the gui
as you
change your working actions. If you use the paintbrush
tool, not
only do
the other tools reorder themselves, they also can(but not
necessarily)
configure themselves to present to you similar choices
that were
used
before in similar contexts. In this case(of a new user)
a circular
swatch is present to the user that surrounds the canvas
for easy
color
access that is on it's own overlay along with the right
mouse button
becoming a different function(from a secondary drawing
tool
function to
an eraser. This was done by scripting side to show how
it can be
used).
Also, If anyone is interested in helping with this
project please
let me
know.
Thanks,
RV
Thats nice. Now where is the source code?
Same here...quite amused. I think that now he's gone in
nothern Yukkon
to kill the bear whose skin just been sold.
Though i might be wrong.
I umm, not sure I understand you.
it's based on this french idiom:
(vendre la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué)
in a nutshell: I suspect this announce to be spam because:
1/ googlelize the OP name: nothing, except this post. For
such a
framework, the guy cannot land from nowhere.
2/ he has posted in te wrong fourm section.
3/ no screenshot, no links.
4/ the concept is quite abstruse, not self-explanatory, no
tech details
(e.g open-gl for this, xml for that...
5/ it's too providential.
Though i might be wrong.
Ohhh that.
Yeah I understand your pov on this.
I just don't like risking alienating somebody who could
become part of
the D community.
I think that if the guy is serious he won't give up because
his product
is about to be released and he would probably be clever enough
to get
that my suspicion doesn't matter since i'm just a casual user
(casual
poster here as well).
By the way, after a few investigations and thanks to my
hypermnesia, i
think that i've spotted him, and if it's the case, the
pre-announce is
honnest. He might be the author of this other topic:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected]#post-mailman.3008.1418200191.9932.digitalmars-d:40puremagic.com
it was a survey to estimate if it's worth to release a
commercial D
library.
As far as we know, this could be related to Andrei saying that
he is expecting a large backer soon. And the fact that we don't
know who he is, means that they are not ready to fully announce
who they are. Assuming it is valid.
Well, will be interesting to see if I'm right in thinking its
valid. Would be pretty awesome!
Yes, I am sorry. We are in the process of moving our location and
our servers are down for the moment. It is chaos here.
Thanks for understanding.
