I am interested in information comparing using GTK+, Tcl/Tk, Qt, wxWidgets for writing GUI apps. A potential rewrite of a Tcl/Tk app. is under consideration. This app is to be supported on Unix/Linux and Window XP platforms. This app presently peforms some 2d drawing with user interaction from within Tcl/Tk and some 3d drawing with user interaction using a VTK/Tcl/Tk combination. Some of the enhancements that would be added would benifit more if executed in a compiled language. I have used SWIG a little in the past to pass some information back and forth between a Tcl/Tk interface to a compile source, but is a "headache" i'd prefer not to deal with. Personally, my preference is the GTK+/GtkGLExt/OpenGL route as I have done some small app this way before. Its just that, I would need make a convincing argument to go from the Tcl/Tk/Vtk route. I'm not familar with using VTK and have no experience with Qt or wxWidgets. Is it possible to use VTK to inside a GTK+ app? Inputs from this app would be used to create appropriate data files that would be used by other executables that would be initiated and monitored by this app.
So overall I am interested in advantages and disadvantages between the various GUI API's. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
