Wow, this looks neat.

Scroll down on the project's main github main page and you're
sure to understand how it works right away.

Nice use of ascii art for positioning hints.. love it.

Didn't look at the code, but if it's a single .H file,
I can guess it's "light" and simple.. Nice!

Assuming the other devs agree (we'll give it a look over),
is it OK to add it to FLTK itself and its LGPL license?

Hi all,

I have had a little bit of time to port a layout manager we use for an internal UI system to FLTK. It may seem a little weird to use at first but it allows for extremely quick layout and prototyping. It was originally designed to quickly hack together UIs for ever-changing scientific research tools. However it started to become a preferred layout system for everything because it was quick easy and maintainable.

So please do give it a go if you have time. Or at the very least have a skim through the tutorial on the main project page to see if it may be useful to you.

A random list of features:

- Single .h file (include/FL/Fl_Flow.H, mostly to make it easy to try out)

- Works via instructions rather than absolute coordinates

- Resizes well due to the instruction nature

- Very flexible, it is rare you need nesting to achieve any desired layout

- Supports centering content

- No tools needed

- Well integrated into FLTK. Can mix and match with other layouts

I hope someone finds it useful. Personally I feel it makes GUI development fun again.
