nanogui: Thread: State of the nanogui union?

I've read the NanoGUI FAQ and am currently poking through the
nano-X-0.5pre3 source.  What is the current state of libraries and
development outside of what I'll find there?  What's the status
of any widget set projects?  

Thanks,
Bill Gribble

I've been working on a widget set, and I'd be happy to share it with
people here. It's based on code I got from Alexander Pleuchert, but not
much of his original code is left at this time, though :-)

It runs well on nano-X-0.5pre3 (with some additional bugfixes, esp. if
you want to use the network support).

(btw.: To those who've mailed me and not gotten an answer: I'm sorry, but
I had an unfortunate harddisk crash, and lost quite a bit of mail)

Any chance you could put this code up on an FTP or HTTP server?

Sure. I'll clean it up a bit and make it available sometime later today.

I'm also busy making patches to reconsile Nano-X and Microwindows now... 
Mostly completely non-controversial stuff just to get the size of the
diffs down first, but a few bugfixes too.. I'll probably put them up
for download as well once I start mailing them to Alex and Greg.

Excellent. What features does it support? How large is it?

Let me know if you would like access to be able to put it up on the
LinuxHacker FTP space, or if you would prefer I can just mirror it nightly
like I do with the MicroWindows site. You might consider putting it in the
CVS too. The same goes for anybody else who is working on any code for
NanoGUI...

It's a bit primitive right now. It has sliders (horisontal, vertical, or
both at the same time, settable with a flag :), buttons, radiobuttons,
toggle buttons, and a primitive text field. It's very object oriented,
via some C macro hackery. Currently, the test program is about 30kb with
all the classes compiled in. It's also prepared for externalizing rendering
and layout into separate objects, making it instantly themable.

It needs some work. But we're just hired several people, and as soon as
they've settled in one of them will be allocated to working on the widget
set and NanoGUI.

It would be great if I can put it up on LinuxHacker. Where do you want
me to upload it?

Those are the sort of size numbers I hoped we could eventually aim at for
basic widgets. That its so small now already is great.

It will be a bit bigger when we include some more support functions.
But on the other hand, I just checked, and compiled with -O2 and stripped,
the test program was only 21kb, and I'm sure the code can be optimized
further.

The 30kb included extensive debugging (the macro hackery mentioned above
includes a compile time option to add a printf with debug info for _every_
method call...)

That sounds great.

/pub/nanogui/name_of_widget_set would probably be best. What are you
calling the widget set?
