Hope I didn't give the impression nixieclock is any example of
the texture mapping trick.. nixieclock is straight FLTK app,
no opengl.
But technique-wise it's similar, using images to draw the fonts.
For that app I only needed one effect; comping, so FLTK's image
blitting was perfect, and comping is pixel-at-a-time.
Nice thing about having it an FLTK app is that one doesn't have
to worry about the release machine's openGL support, which got
a little bumpy in the early 2000's.
The 'nixie-text-viewer' test app will load a text file and view
it in the nixie font, letting you scroll through it with the
arrow keys.
(I'm sure I didn't include the terminal emulator code in the
nixieclock tar files on the website, as it was too much of a
hack and too much of a departure from the 'clock' app)
