How to start with Canvas ?

[omega95]

Experiments with Canvas based windows (The appearance and mouse interaction has all been scripted using Nasal):

I could really get my hands on something like that now, is this already in your git repository?

[Hooray]

Yes, it's all in Tom's fgdata branch - for this particular demo, see Tom's menubar.xml file, which contains all the Nasal code embedded inline: https://gitorious.org/~tomprogs/fg/toms ... 82ea24d992

Do I need to pull Tom's fgdata too? Or just flightgear? I know fgdata has the examples but then I could look at those directly from the web. Is there anything else in fgdata that I'd need to run canvas guis?

By the way, with the new canvas system, I'm working on a TCAS, to check out it's actual drawing capabilities.

Hmm, what does this mean

You don't need my flightgear branch as I've already pushed everything to the main flightgear repository. You just need an up-to-date flightgear from git or a daily build from jenkins. Also the Nasal API is included in the official fgdata git repository. So you only need to get the examples itself, either by copying them manually or by checking out my fgdata canvas branch:

Code: Select all

# Go to your fgdata checkout and add my repository as git remote:
$ git remote add toms-fgdata git://gitorious.org/~tomprogs/fg/toms-fgdata.git
$ git checkout toms-fgdata canvas -b canvas


If you want to see which demos I've added its best to have a look at the commit log (either git log or https://gitorious.org/~tomprogs/fg/toms ... its/canvas).
