Re: [PLUG] ncurses windowing/widget kits?


Well, there's Anygui.  This probably isn't a very helpful suggestion, as
it's only for Python.  It does seem like a cool concept, though.  It's a
generic GUI package that supports Curses, PyGTK, PyQt, Java Swing, Tkinter,
BeOS, Python Win/win32all, and several others that are working and planned
(among them, Dynamic HTML).

I've never used it, and it's only at version 0.1.1, so make of it what you
will.  A 0.2 release is planned for April.

pls

Dear Plug,

I'm looking at developing some software for which I'd like to have both an
X11
interface, as well as a console (curses) based interface available.  If
possible, I'd like to have an abstraction between the two so the bulk of
the
application can be written to the abstraction and the actual interface
switched
between at runtime (via a cmdline switch).  At worst, I'll put up with a
single core codebase and 2 GUI wrapper applications on top of the core
functionality.

After looking briefly into the ncurses documentation, and doing a quick
search I found the Curses Development Kit:

  http://dickey.his.com/cdk/cdk.html

It comes with some good examples, and would probably do most of what I
think I see the application needing.

Does anyone know of any actual windowing style systems for terminals or for
ncurses?  Something that provides more of an MDI style interface?

The application isn't all that far off of a spreadsheet style application
for viewing tables of data.


Thanks in advance,

Kyle R. Burton
