Hi all,
I have an XScale armbase module from compulab
- Antialiased lines
- Polygons, Circles & Arcs
- Text (antialiased or not)
- Images (bmp or jpeg)
I'd like "flicker free" buffering support, and a concept of layers would be very useful too - I'd like the ability to remove objects from the display without re-creating the things behind them. Everything is in 2D.
I've been looking at a variety of packages, (qtfb, gtkfb, allegro etc etc) and there seems to be a lot of window managers out there. My linux distribution (from Compulba) has the Linux framebuffer enabled, and it includes an X distribution,but surely this is overkill for my application? Ideally I'd like to run without X. My application is single tasking, full screen, with no keyboard or mouse. An open source static library seems ideal to me. Allegro seemed ideal but needs porting to the arm. Driectfb looks good too, but I'm not sure.
Can anyone advise me in the selection of a library? Has anyone been there and can recommend a library or set of libraries which are suitable?
