Article #884: What third party widgets are available for FLTK?

This article is an attempt to summarize third-party widgets that are available as add-ons for FLTK. I think these only apply to FLTK-1. The toolkits provide additional support classes, but only the major widgets are included here.

Some of the links in the FLTK/Wiki/Software pages are dead, but searching the web throws up the following which currently work.

Disclaimer: I haven't used these widgets, just looked at their docs.

I think these only apply to FLTK-1.

I'm doing some research for my company on widget toolkits and was wondering if FLTK had a widget for "Tip Hovering"?

In FLTK 1.3.0, the FL_Widget class, which is the base class for all of the other widgets in the hierarchy, has tooltip() member functions for getting and setting the text that appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the widget. IIRC the behaviour is handled via the FL_Tooltip class.
