  • Current Status of Win32 Gdk Implementation
    Current status of Win32 Gdk implementation Bertrand Bellenot - [email protected] Features (recall) ! Same environment on every system : ! Same look and feel on every platform. ! Simplify the code maintenance : ! No need to care about a « windows specific code ». ! Simplify functionality extension : ! No need to implement the code twice, once for windows and once for other OS. ! Only use TVirtualX. Actual Status (recall) ! The actual code uses a modified version of gdk and glib, the GIMP low-level libraries ported on win32. In practice, this means that we only need to link with gdk.lib, glib.lib and iconv.dll as additional libraries (hopefully less in the future). These libraries are under LGPL, so there are no licensing issues in using and distributing them. ! As original version of gdk was not doing everything needed by root (as font orientation!), I did have to slightly modify the original code. Points fixed since last year ! Some characters were not displayed. " ! Some problems with icon’s transparency. " ! The event handling was not perfect. " ! OpenGL was not working. " Events handling architecture (actual) TSystem CINT TGClient TVirtualX Gdk Threads issue ! From gdk developper FAQ : ! Without some major restructuring in GDK-Win32, I don't think there is any chance that GTK+ would work, in general, in a multi-threaded app, with different threads accessing windows created by other threads. ! One problem is that each thread in Windows have its own message queue. GDK-Win32 currently uses just one "message pump" in the main thread. It will never see messages for windows created by other threads. Threads issue ! As gdk is not thread safe, I had to create a separate thread from within the gdk calls are made.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

  • GTK Lesson 3: Containers
    CSci493.70 Graphical User Interface Programming Prof. Stewart Weiss Lesson 3: Containers Lesson 3: Containers 1 Container Widgets and Packing When you design an application with a graphical user interface, you put various widgets inside of one another and implicitly dene a hierarchy of what's inside of what. This is a containment hierarchy. Some of the widgets you use have specic purposes, such as buttons, text entry boxes, and menus. If you design your GUI on paper, you draw these widgets where you want them and making them the sizes that you want them to be. However, getting them to be in those specic positions with their specic sizes using a library like GTK+ requires that you use widgets whose primary purpose is for laying out other widgets. These widgets are called container widgets. In Lesson 2, we introduced the GtkContainer class, which is the ancestral class of all container widgets and which we now cover in more detail. Recall that containers can be partitioned into two categories: (1) those that can hold only a single child widget, and (2) those that can hold more than one. Containers that can contain only a single widget are called decorator containers, because their principal purpose is to add functionality and decorative eects to the child widget. Containers that can hold several children are called layout containers, because they are used primarily for laying out the child widgets within their (GDK) windows. Layout containers assign sizes and positions to their children. 1.1 The GtkContainer Class Before we look at their concrete subclasses, we will examine what functionality and properties GtkContainers possess.

  • Drawing in GTK+
    CSci493.70 Graphical User Interface Programming Prof. Stewart Weiss Drawing in GTK+ Drawing in GTK+ Background In order to understand how to draw in GTK, you rst have to understand something about how GTK draws widgets, because how GTK draws widgets has an important role in how you design your drawing application. An understanding of how GTK draws widgets is also required if you ever plan to build your own custom widgets. Windows and Clipping Most windowing systems are designed around the idea that an application's visual display lies within a rectangular region on the screen called its window. The windowing system, e.g. Gnome or KDE or Explorer, does not automatically save the graphical content of an application's windows; instead it asks the application itself to repaint 1 its windows whenever it is needed. For example, if a window that is stacked below other windows gets raised to the top, then a client program has to repaint the area that was previously obscured. When the windowing system asks a client program to redraw part of a window, it sends an exposure event to the program that contains that window. An exposure event is simply an event sent from the underlying windowing system to a widget to notify it that it must redraw itself. In this context, a "window" means "a rectangular region with automatic clipping", not a top-level application window. Clipping is the act of removing portions of a window that do not need to be redrawn, or looked at the other way, it is determining which are the only regions of a window that must be redrawn.

  • Real-Time and Embedded Guide
    Real-Time and Embedded Guide Herman Bruyninckx K.U.Leuven, Mechanical Engineering Leuven Belgium [email protected] Real-Time and Embedded Guide by Herman Bruyninckx Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002 [email protected] This Guide covers the fundamentals of (i) real-time and embedded operating systems (focusing mostly on the differences with general purpose operating systems such as Linux), and (ii) real-time programming. The emphasis is on Free Software and Open Source Software examples: RTAI, RTLinux, eCos, RT-EMS, uCLinux, . , with a more than proportional focus on RTAI. This text also talks about design issues, software patterns and frameworks for real-time applications. That is, the “high-level” aspects of these software projects. These higher levels are often poorly dealt with in publications on real-time programming, which leads to the unfortunate situation that still too many real-time programmers use only the powerful but dangerously unstructured API of their RTOS. Missing the chance to develop more structured, and, hence, more deterministic and more portable software systems. Both the low-level RTOS primitives, and the high-level design issues, are illustrated by the real-world example of a hard real-time core for feedback control and signal processing.
