- This is a beta release of a widget set for Mesa/OpenGL programming.
-
- Objectives:
- ***********
-
- * Provide a GLwDrawingArea widget which is 100%ly compatible with
- SGI's widget. Applications should port over with (almost) no
- changes to the source code.
-
- * Add a better widget (MesaDrawingArea) alongside or atop of it. In
- particular, attach a XMesaContext transparently to the widget. This
- should simplify applications with multiple widgets considerably.
-
- * Provide a high level workstation abstraction (MesaWorkstation)
- atop of MesaDrawingArea to allow PHIGS/PEX enthusiasts to continue
- in their style.
-
-
- Status:
- *******
-
- * The widgets work, but are in differing stages of completion:
-
- * GLwDrawingArea is almost complete: a couple of resources are
- still ignored and I need to add code to handle cases in which a
- colormap resource is provided explicitely. Currently, I allocate
- a fresh colormap for RGBA mode and use the default in color index
- mode.
-
- * GLwMDrawingArea (the Motif version of the above) needs testing.
- Use `./configure --with-motif' to build it.
-
- * MesaDrawingArea is complete (I think).
-
- * MesaWorkstation is stabilizing, but changes to the user
- interface are still expected. The programming interfase is more
- stable, but also subject to change.
-
- * See also: TODO
-
- * This code should still be considered late beta, however.
- Comments, bugreports and in particular bugfixes are welcome.
-
- * PLEASE: the sample code in the demos subdirectory is not to be
- mistaken for examples of good coding practice. It mushroomed wildly
- during development of the widgets and is only intended for testing.
- It is planned to improve and clean up ed, though.
