I am a new user of FLTK3 who is migrating from using Tcl/Tk for GUI development. My software development is in Common Lisp (SBCL). I have some tests successfully running using FLTK3 in combination with OpenGL.
I like everything I am seeing in FLTK3, EXCEPT for (semi-)automatic layout of widget arrangements. Tk has simple, yet effective ways to control widget placement. I am willing to write layout class methods for FLTK, but some basic infrastructure appears to be missing. An outside_measure() method should be implemented for classes, such as Button and all of its subclasses, so that the outside dimensions of those widgets can be determined. The existing measure() method returns the dimensions of the label string and/or image. I have implemented such methods for Menubar and Widget, but the implementations are fragile, depending on FLTK internal details. Is there anything in the ROADMAP directed toward more advanced layout infrastructure? _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
