<P>The FLTK distribution contains over 60 sample applications written
|
|
in, or ported to, FLTK. If the FLTK archive you received does not
|
|
contain a 'test' directory, you can download the complete FLTK
|
|
distribution from
|
|
<a href="http://fltk.org/software.php">http://fltk.org/software.php</a>.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Most of the example programs were created while testing a group of widgets.
|
|
They are not meant to be great achievements in clean C++ programming, but merely
|
|
a test platform to verify the functionality of the FLTK library.</P>

<h3><a name="adjuster">adjuster</h3>
|
|
<tt>adjuster</tt> shows a nifty little widget for quickly
|
|
setting values in a great range.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="arc">arc</h3>
|
|
The <tt>arc</tt> demo explains how to derive your own widget to
|
|
generate some custom drawings. The sample drawings use the matrix
|
|
based arc drawing for some fun effects.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="ask">ask</h3>
|
|
<tt>ask</tt> shows some of FLTK's standard dialog boxes. Click
|
|
the correct answers or you may end up in a loop, or you may end
|
|
up in a loop, or you... .
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="bitmap">bitmap</h3>
|
|
This simple test shows the use of a single color bitmap as a
|
|
label for a box widget. Bitmaps are stored in the X11 '.bmp'
|
|
file format and can be part of the source code.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="blocks">blocks</h3>
|
|
A wonderful and addictive game that shows the usage of FLTK
|
|
timers, graphics, and how to implement sound on all platforms.
|
|
<tt>blocks</tt> is also a good example for the Mac OS X specific
|
|
bundle format.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="boxtype">boxtype</h3>
|
|
<tt>boxtype</tt> gives an overview of readily available boxes and
|
|
frames in FLTK. More types can be added by the application programmer.
|
|
When using themes, FLTK shuffles boxtypes around to give your program
|
|
a new look.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="browser">browser</h3>
|
|
<tt>browser</tt> shows the capabilities of the <tt>Fl_Browser</tt> widget.
|
|
Important features tested are loading of files, line formatting, and
|
|
correct positioning of the browser data window.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="button">button</h3>
|
|
The <tt>button</tt> test is a simple demo of push-buttons and callbacks.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="buttons">buttons</h3>
|
|
<tt>buttons</tt> shows a sample of FLTK button types.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="checkers">checkers</h3>
|
|
Written by Steve Poulsen in early 1979, <tt>checkers</tt> shows
|
|
how to convert a VT100 text-terminal based program into a neat
|
|
application with a graphical UI. Check out the code that drags the
|
|
pieces, and how the pieces are drawn by layering. Then tell me
|
|
how to beat the computer at Checkers.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="clock">clock</h3>
|
|
The <tt>clock</tt> demo shows two analog clocks. The innards of
|
|
the <tt>Fl_Clock</tt> widget are pretty interesting, explaining
|
|
the use of timeouts and matrix based drawing.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="colbrowser">colbrowser</h3>
|
|
<tt>colbrowser</tt> runs only on X11 systems. It reads
|
|
<i>/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt</i> to show the color representation
|
|
of every text entry in the file. This is beautiful, but
|
|
only moderatly useful unless your UI is written in <i>Motif</i>.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="color_chooser">color_chooser</h3>
|
|
The <tt>color_chooser</tt> gives a short demo of FLTK's palette based
|
|
color chooser and of the RGB based color wheel.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cube">cube</h3>
|
|
The <tt>cube</tt> demo shows the speed of OpenGL. It also tests
|
|
the ability to render two OpenGL buffers into a single window,
|
|
and shows OpenGL text.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="CubeView">CubeView</h3>
|
|
<tt>CubeView</tt> shows how to create a UI containing OpenGL with Fluid.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cursor">cursor</h3>
|
|
The <tt>cursor</tt> demo show all mouse cursor shapes that come standard
|
|
with FLTK. The <i>fgcolor</i> and <i>bgcolor</i> sliders work only
|
|
on few systems (some version of Irix for example).
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="curve">curve</h3>
|
|
<tt>curve</tt> draws a nice Bezier curve into a custom widget. The
|
|
<i>points</i> option for splines is not supported on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="demo">demo</h3>
|
|
This tool allows quick access to all programs in the <tt>test</tt> directory.
|
|
<tt>demo</tt> is based on the visuals of the IrixGL demo program. The menu
|
|
tree can be changed by editing <tt>test/demo.menu</tt>.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="doublebuffer">doublebuffer</h3>
|
|
The <tt>doublebuffer</tt> demo show the difference between a single
|
|
buffered window, which may flicker during a slow redraw, and a
|
|
double buffered window, which never flickers, but uses twice the
|
|
amount of RAM. Some modern OS's double buffer all windows automatically
|
|
to allow transparency and shadows on the desktop. FLTK is smart enough
|
|
to not tripple buffer a window in that case.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="editor">editor</h3>
|
|
FLTK has two very different text input widgets. <tt>Fl_Input</tt>
|
|
and derived classes are rather leight weight, however
|
|
<tt>Fl_Text_Editor</tt> is a complete port of <i>nedit</i> (with permission).
|
|
The <tt>editor</tt> test is almost a full application, showing custom
|
|
syntax highlighting and dialog creation.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="fast_slow">fast_slow</h3>
|
|
<tt>fast_slow</tt> shows how an application can use then <tt>when()</tt>
|
|
setting to receive different kinds of callbacks.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="file_chooser">file_chooser</h3>
|
|
The standard FLTK <tt>file_chooser</tt> is the result of many
|
|
iterations, trying to find a middle ground between a complex
|
|
browser and a fast light implementation.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="fonts">fonts</h3>
|
|
<tt>fonts</tt> show all available text fonts on the host system.
|
|
If your machine still has some pixmap based fonts, the supported
|
|
sizes will be shown in bold face. Only the first 256 fonts will
|
|
be listed.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="forms">forms</h3>
|
|
<tt>forms</tt> is an XForms program with very few changes.
|
|
Search for "fltk" to find all changes necessary to port to fltk.
|
|
This demo show the different boxtypes. Note that some
|
|
boxtypes are not appropriate for some objects.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="fractals">fractals</h3>
|
|
<tt>fractals</tt> shows how to mix OpenGL, Glut and FLTK code.
|
|
FLTK supports a rather large subset of Glut, so that many Glut
|
|
application compile just fine.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="fullscreen">fullscreen</h3>
|
|
This demo shows how to do many of the window manipulations that
|
|
are popular for games.
|
|
You can toggle the border on/off, switch between single-
|
|
and double-buffered rendering, and take over the entire
|
|
screen. More information in the source code.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="gl_overlay">gl_overlay</h3>
|
|
<tt>gl_overlay</tt> shows OpenGL overlay plane rendering. If no
|
|
hardware overlay plane is available, FLTK will simulate it
|
|
for you.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="glpuzzle">glpuzzle</h3>
|
|
The <tt>glpuzzle</tt> test shows how most Glut source code compiles
|
|
easily under FLTK.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="hello">hello</h3>
|
|
<tt>hello</tt>: Hello, World. Need I say maore? Well, maybe. This
|
|
tiny demo shows how little is needed to get a functioning application
|
|
running with FLTK. Quite impressive, I'd say.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="help">help</h3>
|
|
<tt>help</tt> displays the built-in FLTK help browser. The
|
|
<tt>Fl_Help_Dialog</tt> understands a subset of html and renders
|
|
various image formats. This widget makes it easy to provide help
|
|
pages to the user without depending on the operating system's
|
|
html browser.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="iconize">iconize</h3>
|
|
<tt>iconize</tt> demonstrates the effect of the window functions
|
|
<tt>hide()</tt>, <tt>iconize()</tt>, and <tt>show()</tt>.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="image">image</h3>
|
|
The <tt>image</tt> demo shows how an image can be created on the fly.
|
|
This generated image contains an alpha (transparency) channel which
|
|
lets previous renderings 'shine through', either via true
|
|
transparency or by using screen door transparency (pixelation).
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="inactive">inactive</h3>
|
|
<tt>inactive</tt> tests the correct rendering of inactive widgets.
|
|
To see the inactive version of images, you can check out the pixmap
|
|
or image test.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="input">input</h3>
|
|
This tool shows and tests different types of text input fields based on
|
|
<tt>Fl_Input_</tt>. The <tt>input</tt> program also tests various
|
|
settings of <tt>Fl_Input::when()</tt>.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="input_choice">input_choice</h3>
|
|
<tt>input_choice</tt> tests the latest addition to FLTK1, a text input
|
|
field with an attached pulldown menu. Windows users will recognize
|
|
similarities to the 'ComboBox'. <tt>input_choice</tt> starts up in
|
|
'plastic' scheme, but the traditional scheme is also supported.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="keyboard">keyboard</h3>
|
|
FLTK unifies keyboard events for all platforms. The <tt>keyboard</tt>
|
|
test can be used to check the return values of <tt>Fl::event_key()</tt>
|
|
and <tt>Fl::event_text()</tt>. It is also great to see the modifier
|
|
buttons and the scroll wheel at work. Quit this application by closing
|
|
the window. The ESC key will not work.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="label">label</h3>
|
|
Every FLTK widget can have a label attached to it. The <tt>label</tt>
|
|
demo shows alignment, clipping and wrapping of text labels. Labels
|
|
can contain symbols at the start and end of the text, like <i>\@FLTK</i>
|
|
or <i>\@circle uh-huh \@square</i>.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="line_style">line_style</h3>
|
|
Advanced line drawing can be tested with <tt>line_style</tt>.
|
|
Not all platforms support all line styles.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="list_visuals">list_visuals</h3>
|
|
This little app finds all available pixel formats for the current X11
|
|
screen. But since you are now an FLTK user, you don't have to worry
|
|
about any of this.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="mandelbrot">mandelbrot</h3>
|
|
<tt>mandelbrot</tt> shows two advanced topics in one test. It creates
|
|
grayscale images on the fly, updating them via the <i>idle</i> callback
|
|
system. This is one of the few occasions where the <i>idle</i> callback
|
|
is very useful by giving all available processor time to the application
|
|
without blocking the UI or other apps.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="menubar">menubar</h3>
|
|
The <tt>menubar</tt> tests many aspects of FLTK's popup menu system.
|
|
Among the features are radio buttons, menus taller than the screen,
|
|
arbitrary sub menu depth, and global shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="message">message</h3>
|
|
<tt>message</tt> pops up a few of FLTK's standars message boxes.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="minimum">minimum</h3>
|
|
The <tt>minimum</tt> test program verifies that the update regions
|
|
are set correctly. In a real life application, the trail would
|
|
be avoided by choosing a smaller label or by setting label clipping
|
|
differently.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="navigation">navigation</h3>
|
|
<tt>navigation</tt> demonstrates how the text cursor moves from
|
|
text field to text field when using the arrow keys, tab, and shift-tab.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="output">output</h3>
|
|
<tt>output</tt> shows the difference between the single line and
|
|
multi line mode of the <tt>Fl_Output</tt> widget. Fonts can be
|
|
selected from the FLTK standard list of fonts.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="overlay">overlay</h3>
|
|
The <tt>overlay</tt> test app show how easy an FLTK window can
|
|
be layered to display cursor and manipulator style elemnts. This
|
|
example derives a new class from <tt>Fl_Overly_WIndow</tt> and
|
|
provides a new function to draw custom overlays.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="pack">pack</h3>
|
|
The <tt>pack</tt> test program demonstrates the resizing
|
|
and repositioning of children of the <tt>Fl_Pack</tt> group.
|
|
Putting an <tt>Fl_Pack</tt> into an <tt>Fl_Scroll</tt> is
|
|
a useful way to create a browser for large sets of data.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="pixmap_browser">pixmap_browser</h3>
|
|
<tt>pixmap_browser</tt> tests the shared-image interface. When using
|
|
the same image multiple times, <tt>Fl_Shared_Image</tt> will keep it
|
|
only once in memory.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="pixmap">pixmap</h3>
|
|
This simple test shows the use of a LUT based pixmap as a
|
|
label for a box widget. Pixmaps are stored in the X11 '.xpm'
|
|
file format and can be part of the source code. Pixmaps support
|
|
one transparent color.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="preferences">preferences</h3>
|
|
I do have my <tt>preferences</tt> in the morning, but sometimes I
|
|
just can't remember a thing. This is where the <tt>Fl_Preferences</tt>
|
|
come in handy. They remember any kind of data between program launches.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="radio">radio</h3>
|
|
The <tt>radio</tt> tool was created entirely with <i>fluid</i>. It
|
|
shows some of the available button types and tests radio
|
|
button behavior.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="resizebox">resizebox</h3>
|
|
<tt>resizebox</tt> shows some possible ways of FLTK's automatic
|
|
resize bahavior..
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="resize">resize</h3>
|
|
The <tt>resize</tt> demo tests size and position functions with
|
|
the given window manager.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="scroll">scroll</h3>
|
|
<tt>scroll</tt> shows how to scroll an area of widgets, one of
|
|
them beeing a slow custom drawing. <tt>Fl_Scroll</tt> uses
|
|
clipping and smart window area copying to improve redraw speed.
|
|
The buttons at the bottom of the window control decoration rendering
|
|
and updates.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="shape">shape</h3>
|
|
<tt>shape</tt> is a very minimal demo that shows how to create
|
|
your own OpenGL rendering widget. Now that you know that, go ahead
|
|
and write that flight simulator you always dreamt of.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="subwindow">subwindow</h3>
|
|
The <tt>subwindow</tt> demo tests messaging and drawing between
|
|
the main window and 'true' sub windows. A sub window is different
|
|
to a group by resetting the FLTK coordinate stystem to 0, 0 in the
|
|
top left corner. On Win32 and X11, subwindows have their own
|
|
operating system specific handle.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="sudoku">sudoku</h3>
|
|
Another highly addictive game - don't play it, I warned you.
|
|
The implementation shows how to create application icons,
|
|
how to deal with OS specifics, and how to generate sound.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="symbols">symbols</h3>
|
|
<tt>symbols</tt> are a speciality of FLTK. These little vector
|
|
drawings can be integrated into labels. They scale and rotate,
|
|
and with a little patience, you can define your own. The rotation
|
|
number refers to 45 degree rotations if you were looking at a
|
|
numeric keypad (2 is down, 6 is right, etc.).
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="tabs">tabs</h3>
|
|
The <tt>tabs</tt> tool was created with <i>fluid</i>. It tests
|
|
correct hiding and redisplaying of tabs, navigation across tabs,
|
|
resize behavior, and no unneeded redrawing of invisible widgets.
|
|
|
|
<P>The <tt>tabs</tt> application shows the <tt>Fl_Tabs</tt> widget
|
|
on the left and the <tt>Fl_Wizard</tt> widget on the right side
|
|
for direct comparison of these two panel management widgets.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="threads">threads</h3>
|
|
FLTK can be used in a multithreading environment. There are some
|
|
limitations, mostly due to the underlying operating system.
|
|
<tt>threads</tt> show how to use <tt>Fl::lock()</tt>,
|
|
<tt>Fl::unlock()</tt>, and <tt>Fl::awake()</tt> in secondary threads
|
|
to keep FLTK happy. Although locking works on all platforms,
|
|
this demo is not available on every machine.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="tile">tile</h3>
|
|
The <tt>tile</tt> tool shows a nice way of using <tt>Fl_Tile</tt>.
