This sounds like exactly what is needed and wanted.
I might change the second option name to OPTION_USE_CAIRO for
consistency with the others
I agree with Bill that OPTION_USE_CAIRO would be a better name for
the option to use Cairo drawing ((currently) in Xlib context (only))
[1] as he said, for consistency.
The "other" existing Cairo options 'OPTION_CAIRO'
and 'OPTION_CAIROEXT' are the same as
these for configure:
--enable-cairo use Cairo library
--enable-cairoext use FLTK code instrumentation for cairo
extended use
which, as Ian said, are used to feature Fl_Cairo_Window (--enable-cairo) and Cairo usage in all
window types (--enable-cairoext) if
requested on all platforms (not only Unix/X11/Wayland).
We need to keep those because they are useful on all platforms,
although the are probably rarely used. I'm not keen on having these
configure/CMake options because they can only be used if users build
their own FLTK libs (I don't think they would be configured in stock
Linux distros, for instance). I would prefer another way to support
users that need such Cairo integration (w/o configuring the FLTK
library) but that is not going to work in 1.4.0, hence we need to
stick with these for now.
Good (better) documentation for these three options ('OPTION_CAIRO', 'OPTION_CAIROEXT',
'OPTION_USE_CAIRO') would be necessary.
[1] I wrote "(currently) in Xlib context (only) because this could
be used on other platforms too if we wanted. Although the native
(Windows, macOS) drawing would likely be more efficient
[...]
CMake OPTION_USE_WAYLAND produces a hybrid Wayland/X11
library
whose X11 leg draws with Cairo.
The new OPTION_CAIROXLIB produces a X11 library using
Cairo to draw
to X11 windows and to offscreen buffers.
OPTION_USE_PANGO produces a X11 library using Xlib to
draw and Pango to draw text.
The default run produces a X11 library using Xlib to
draw and Xft to draw text.
My proposal would be to use that for FLTK 1.4.
