Developers,
I started modifying Linux viewers. I' rewriting a lot of lower-layer
window interface. The following is my plan.
What do you think?
- Avoid use of SDL entirely.
- Use GtkGLExt (http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page) to access
OpenGL instead.
- Rewrite as much features the current viewer does with low-level X11
API with GTK API as possible.
- Use GTK immodule (GtkIMContext) to handle input methods. (See VWR-2261.)
... and the following are *not* goals in my plan:
- I'm not replacing LLUI framework with GTK widgets. A big GL-enabled
GTK widget will replace SDL window, and LLUI components are shown
there.
- I'm not employing GTK on Windows/MacOS.
Any comments including technical and policy viewpoints are welcome.
