Nimized Fast Light Toolkit
A wrapper for the Fast Light Toolkit, for the Nim language.
This library is compatible with the following versions:
| Version | |
|---|---|
| FLTK | 1.3 |
| Nim | 0.20 |
This is a C++ wrapper and so you must compile in cpp mode:
nim cpp test.nim
Notes
- Reference types have been removed. Anywhere that
Widget&would have appeared in FLTK code is now aptr Widget. - Getters and setters follow Nim convention.
set_somethingis bound assomething=except where it was not compatible. - FLTK does not have any fancy layout systems built in; you will need to bring your own.
- You can't override classes. So things like subclassing an OpenGL view to provide your own draw function doesn't work.
- Devices are partially bound but not complete. Drawing commands involving regions are also not implemented (they have OS specific requirements--needs to be handled.)
- This wrapper is not explicitly documented, but follows the original FLTK documentation closely.
