  Description     : wftk is a Graphical User Interface library for C++


wftk is a Graphical User Interface library for C++ that uses SDL
(Simple Directmedia Layer) as its output layer. It allows application
and game programmers to put together portable graphical applications
easily. wftk has a range of already implemented widgets and uses
libsigc++ as a signal dispatching system. It also performs resource
management and has a sound system.

Font rendering is supported using FreeType2, with prerendered
characters, hence text can be blitted as fast as a bitmap font with all
the benefits of scalable TrueType fonts.

The widgets include labels, single/multi line edit boxes, push/toggle
buttons, list boxes, animation playback widgets (using SMPEG),
progress dialogs and standard dialogs. Animated mouse cursors that can
change their appearance depending on the position of the mouse are
easily supported, and creating one's own widgets from scratch or by
combining others is quickly done through use of inheritance.
