Re: [Fl_Flow] A new layout manager for FLTK duncan Oct 28, 2021  
 
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.


I've looked through the tutorial and it looks like a really useful addition to the FLTK ecosphere,
especially for quick prototying of a new interface.

However, I notice that the code uses exceptions and templates, which might be a problem for
inclusion within the core of FLTK because the CMP currently prohibits their use, but there's
probably nothing to stop Fl_Flow being offered as part of an add-on system. FLTK++ perhaps?
