2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich
and animated
graphical user interfaces.
Clutter uses OpenGL for rendering but with an API which hides the
underlying GL complexity
from the developer. The Clutter API is intended to be easy to use,
efficient and flexible.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Clutter currently features the following:
* Scene-graph of layered 2D interface elements manipulated in 3D space via
position, grouping,
transparency, scaling, clipping and rotation.
* Frame based animation engine providing path interpolation, transitions
and other custom
effects via Behaviours and Timelines.
* Scriptable JSON based layout and animation file support.
* Advanced input event handling.
* Custom Pango renderer providing efficient internationalised UTF8 text
rendering.
* Support for high end Open GL features such as Shaders and FBOs.
* Support for media playback with GStreamer, Cairo graphics rendering and
GTK+ embedding
are available via optional add-on libraries.
* Object oriented design via GObject with a familiar GTK+ like API.
Clutter aims to be non specific -- it implements no particular style, but
rather provides
a rich generic foundation that facilitates rapid and easy creation of
higher level tool kits
tailored to specific needs.
