Because DDImage was originally designed to be a cross-application image support library so embedding elements of a user-interface library within it was deemed undesirable. At the time (~2000-2001) Digital Domain was using both FLTK and Qt - FLTK for Nuke and Qt for other apps which also used DDImage. Now ten years later and outside Digital Domain the case can be made for including the knob's implementations in DDImage so that custom knobs can be created from the base classes. fwiw you should keep in perspective that Nuke is not a new product and has many, many years of legacy code/structure that's being systematically addressed by the Foundry, but you can't re-architect a large application overnight. -jonathan > -----Original Message----- > From: nuke-dev-boun...@support.thefoundry.co.uk > [mailto:nuke-dev-boun...@support.thefoundry.co.uk] On Behalf Of Jonathan > Egstad > Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 10:51 AM > To: Nuke plug-in development discussion > Subject: Re: [Nuke-dev] Histogram_Data? > > None of the knob implementations are in DDImage (though they should be) so > Histogram_Knob's not the only one. > This is the case to avoid having to include Qt in the DDImage dependencies > (and FLTK before Qt.) > > Wouter are you suggesting that all the knobs will be moved to DDImage at some > point? > > -jonathan > > > On May 31, 2011, at 10:15 AM, Wouter Klouwen wrote: > >> On 31/05/2011 17:06, Steve3D wrote: >>> class Histogram_Data; >> >>> So, I think 'ah-ha!
