Re: WIP: new Cairo support features Albrecht Schlosser Mar 21, 2023  
 
Sorry, I missed something and pushed "Send" too early.

The current status is that I have completed support to draw in windows and widgets, roughly equivalent to our current Cairo support. Users can use Cairo drawing in their own subclasses of windows and widgets using stock FLTK libraries.

I also implemented a new Fl_Cairo2_Window class which works similar to Fl_Cairo_Window.

The entire implementation is in the header files, hence it works like an additional "single header library" and doesn't make FLTK itself depend on Cairo.

I don't want to bother you with too many details, ...

A note to the implementation: since the FLTK library can be a stock FLTK build w/o direct Cairo support [...]

... users are responsible for building their programs with Cairo, i.e. users need to find Cairo headers and libs themselves. An exception is Linux, particularly the Wayland build, where Cairo is included anyway.

I started working on a demo (CMake) project to show users how to build their programs using the new Cairo features with a stock FLTK library - it should even work with FLTK 1.3 if they only add the new Fl_Cairo2* header files. However, this project is work in progress and not yet included in my branch.

Therefore, building the demo programs with Cairo may be a small challenge on some systems, particularly on macOS where several different Cairo libs can be installed.
