We are using FLTK 2.0.0 with nano-X 0.91. These are the versions that came
bundled with our embedded OS distribution (uClinux).
As for the visual results, I have only good things to report. Anti-aliased
true type fonts with Freetype 2.3.5 look amazing. FLTK 2 allows for theming
and provides lots of widgtes to choose from. FLTK is also very well
documented and (I find it) very stable.
As for memory requirements, our nano-X configuration uses about 2MB without
any application running, and about 11 MB when our application is running on
its full. Maybe it's a little heavy, but the looks are worth it. ;-) We
also use nanowm (the window manager) which takes up 260kB. Anyway, I am sure
you can make everything fit into a more constrained system, if you have to.
As for the overall speed, our 32-bit Nios II processor runs at 100 MHz and
everything feels very fast and responsive, unless:
- you need to draw large amounts of text on the screen
- you use some big (size 48 and above) truetype fonts
- you need to switch between windows very often
Overall, I am very pleased with the nano-X + FLTK 2 combination.
Good luck,
Ricardo.
