Questions about SDL (on framebuffer)

SDL Development
1

Dear all,

My name is Joaquim Duran. I’m not subscribed to this e-mail list. I’m
looking for a GUI toolkit to develop embedded applications using Linux
as OS (by kow QTopia and X11 are discarted due to size). I know that
there are soime GUI toolkits running over SDL: libxt, wGui, guichan,…

However I’ve several questions regarding to SDL:

  • SDL supports touchscreen devices
  • SDL is albe to rotate the screen (I’ve a 640x480 LCD and it must be
    installed vertically, so to develop the appliation, SDL must rotate the
    screen (like RandR from X11) and the graphical clients work with a
    480x640 screen.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joaquim Duran

Take a look at FLTK (http://www.fltk.org). I’ve read articles in the Linux
Journal that say that FLTK has been used in embedded devices. You can use
FLTK for the widgets and embed SDL into FLTK for the drawing (graphs, images,
etc.)

AFAIK, you can use nanoX as the windowing system and FLTK supports nanoX. I
haven’t used it myself though. But it might be a good place to start
investigating?
