If you need to get started (and waiting on 1.3 may not be the quickest option...) then I'd suggest using some of the add-on options. Many of these are very good quality. For a tree widget I generally use Jason Bryan's FLU Tree Widget (http://www.osc.edu/archive/FLU/) and for a table widget Greg's is probably the choice (http://www.seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/Fl_Table/). > Are there any plans to bring any of these addons with FLTK proper > ( ofcourse without bloating things too much), it would seem a > logical and expedient way of getting a larger set of Widgets. I think it's planned to bring Greg's Fl_Table into the core - not sure what the way forward on tree widgets is. > Where does SPTK figure in the FLTK 1.3 plans ?? I'm assuming it will always be an add-on (I could well be wrong) as it is fairly specific, and would add some size that many might not use. But add-on libs are a Good Thing. I've never really understood why anybody would want a lib that has everything in it, including the kitchen sink - far better to have a choice of libs tailored to their specific function, that all interoperate cleanly and robustly. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
