pui already is a separate distinct library within plib. It depends on some central utility stuff, but that's about it. So it is pretty stripped down and separate already.<ref>https://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg26011.html</ref> | |||
FlightGear uses a gui widget set that is implemented on top of OpenGL. This has many advantages from a portability standpoint and from the standpoint of integrating with window systems. "Pui" doesn't have every feature under the sun, but it was never meant to. It's relatively small, lean, mean, and written on top of OpenGL which makes life *much* easier for us. | |||
If you know something about gui systems, something about portability of code across all our supported platforms, and something about flightgear. Then post a proposal for a change. Better yet, post patches with a new gui system that doesn't suck, runs efficiently, supports all platforms, integrates cleanly with FlightGear, doesn't add a nightmare of new library dependencies, isn't chock full of bugs, does everything the current system does, and does everything you think a gui system should do, etc. etc.<ref>https://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg25995.html</ref> | |||
