[CLAM] Qt and CLAM

[Luís Gustavo Martins]

Hi Miguel,

Thanx for your kind reply!

Don't know why, but my Outlook Express is not displaying the text in your
message (yep... maybe Outlook is THE problem by itself! ;-))...

I had to see your email "source code" to read your text... Don't know if
this is also happening to other people, so I'm  forwarding your msg  "source
code" to the list.

Gustavo

Let's try to increase your understanding :)

>=20

Not yet. For now, those services are only available over FLTK. However "roo=
m" was made to allow these services to be provided through Qt.

Yeah of course. Take a look on the NetworkEditor example.

..)?

There aren't any "official". There are just some experiments on src/Visuali=
zation/Widgets/Qt/QtGLPort.hxx,.cxx ( a simple GL canvas adapted to CLAM ne=
eds ) and src/Visualization/Widgets/Qt/QtDataDisplay.hxx,.cxx a quite gener=
ic data displayer.

>=20

Yes of course. However, since Qt is not Free Software on Win32 platforms so=
me political discussion on the topic is going on. Note that the previously =
mentioned QtDataDisplay widget uses some Qwt widgets already.=20

Don't worry. We are here to help ( or so I hope ).

Miguel.
