Short Readme
============
- Grafix is a C++-library that makes it very easy to write C++-programs
with graphic user interfaces for X-window.
- Grafix is based on Unix and the X Window system.
- Grafix does not use any commercial code, like Motif, so it is totally free.
- Grafix is been ported and tested for Linux and SunOS, with X11R5/R6
- Grafix is small and fast since it is pure functionality without any
superfluous additives.
- Grafix is written in C++ and to compile with g++ on both platforms
- Grafix includes classes for the basic window operations :
- windows with automatic restoring for complex drawings (backing store)
- several types of predefined button classes for different purposes :
quit_button, delete_button, help_button, callback_button, toggle_button,
instance_button, dump_button, hardcopy_button, ...
all the buttons have a Motif-like three dimensional shape
- popup-windows and pulldown-menus for selecting discrete values
- help popups can be bound to any window
- scrollbars for selecting contiguous values
- windows with real-valued co-ordinate systems where the user has not to
worry about pixel co-ordinates
- a simple edit window for entering strings
- file selection boxes for openening files interactively
- a predefined palette manager for color definitions
- a complete manager to handle the display of 2-dim functions
(given on a equidistant grid) as lattice or body
in arbitrary perpective, shadowing and details zooming.
- Grafix has some example programs to show the basic functions,eg
"win-demo", "edit-demo", "file-browser", "calc", "pal-demo", etc.
- Grafix has several realistic demos, eg. the programs "one-dim" and "two-dim"
which give a complete model of some numerical integration methods for the one
or two dimensional advection equation.
- There are some other applications of Grafix, eg. a driver for a frame grabber
card with online viewing
To install the package
======================
1. tar -xvzf grafix.tgz
2. make demos : to build all demo programs
3. make demorun : to invoke a run of all demos
please read the files README.txt and HOWTO.txt for further infos !
