Hello, I am actually planning the GUI for an embedded system driven by a PowerPC. So GTK++ is one of the options I can go with. I like the GIMP tool, so GTK should be a good choise. But I have no feeling concerning resources, CPU load and library size needed to run a GTK app in the "embedded world". Maybe someone can give me some rough ideas or experiences. Is GTK a tool for desktop computers only or does is also fit into the embedded world? What is the size of all libraries needed to run GTK ? Do I really need the whole GIMP to run GTK as I red somewhere? (that sounds very large) Do I need a lot of CPU power to run a GTK GUI ? Is there a spezialied version for the "embedded world"? What is about "GTK+ on DirectFB" ? Does GTK needs the X-Window system? Can I go with Tiny-X? We have to handle a lot of large images on the GUI (1280x1024, 24bit). Is there a bottleneck in GTK or X11 to handle these data so I should avoid these tools? Is there a "visualizing" tool to help to design the GUI and the underlying dialogs? Is there a way to adapt a special graphics processor (coming with an appropriate API) to an GTK application ? Do I need to write something like a driver for that graphics processor to connect to the GTK app? (I red something about GDK) How can I support special features of that graphics processor like alpha blending and text anti aliasing? Are these features already supported by GTK ? I hope the list of questions is not too long. But any information is helpful for me to find the right GUI toolkit for my project. Thank's in advance Peter _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
