Introduction

XFLTK is an extension to fltk library which provides generation of GUI based on XML configuration files.

FLTK (pronounced "fulltick") is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX®/Linux® (X11), Microsoft® Windows®, and MacOS® X. FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL® and its built-in GLUT emulation.

Examples

XFLTK "Hello world!" example:

hello.xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<window w="200" h="100" resizable="myid" label="XFLTK Hello!">
  <widget id="myid" label="Hello!!" w="200" h="100" />
</window>

hello.cpp file

#include <fltk/run.h>
#include <xfltk/GUI.h>
int main() {
	xfltk::GUI g("hello.xml");
	g.rootAsWindow()->show();
	return fltk::run();
}
