Squashed commit of the following:
apps/graphics/twm4nx: The calibration seems to be functional. Needs more testing.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Extend event handling to support receiving raw, uncalibaated touchscreen inputs. This is needed for touchscreen calibration.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Extend event handling to support shutting down of externally controlled windows. This is need to end the calibration sequence.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: CCalibration now compiles okay, but is missing event handling logic for touchscreen input and for window termination.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Move application-related files into different directories to separate them from the core Twm4Nx files.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: A little more progress on calibration display.
app/graphics/twm4ndx: Add files that will support a calibration display. This initial commit is simply the calibration display from NxWM and is not hooked into the configuration or build systems.
apps/graphics/twm4ndx: Compile out cursor support if we are using a mouse
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Other toolbar buttons need to be disabled while resizing. Lots of problems if you decide to iconify or exit while resizing. CResize now disables all buttons except for the RESIZE button while resizing.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add an event and logic to support notification of changes in the size of a window to NxTerm.
Various updates to adapt to change in boardctl() interface.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Correct an error in the NxTerm resize logic
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Update debug output when failures to send a message occur. The returned value of -1 is not interested, need to show the errno value instead.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Correct the maximum size of a message. Recent changes caused message send failures because a message exceed that previous maximum size.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Fix routing of redraw events.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Fix a bad width calculation.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Debugging resize. Only partially functional.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Forgot to install the IEventTap instance. No resizing kind of works, but I can't get out of it! There is a basic problem in the window needs to be updated for the new size and there is no mechanism in place to do that (at least not with RAM backed windows).
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add missing part of the resize logic. Initial testing is mixed. The resize window appears, but nothing else good happens. No hardfaults though.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: This is a complete redesign of the CResize class. Unverified on initial commit.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Commit of in-progress resize changes
apps/graphics/nxwidgets/src/cbuttonarray.cxx: Correct an error CButtonArray. Was not correctly resizing the widget when the dimensions of the button array changed.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Trival correcion of some typos in comments.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Rename IDragEvent interface to IEventTap. I intend to reuse this interface for window resizing as well as dragging.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Some trivial elimination of some unused logic in CResize.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Fix several errors associated with the NxTerm buttons. Most changes involved fixing crashes with the exit button is pressed. Now the NxTerm windows behave well. However, they are not receiving console input so there is still more to be done.
Squashed commit of the following:
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Revamp the event system to support notification of external applications when the window is being closed.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: A little NxTerm progress
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Clean up some logic associated with use of multiple Icon Managers.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add CNxterm to the build. It is a long way from compiling.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: This resolves the problems noted in the previous commit comments. Window events are now communicated properly to the appliation-specific event handler. Menus now seem to be receiving events and working well.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Revamp application event handler. Better design but still crashes when a main menu entry is clicked.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: First cut at application window event distribution. Has some issues. Not ready for prime time.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add more controls for the events that will be generated on basic window redraw, mouse/keyboard input, and keyboard input.
apps/graphpics/twm4nx: Add a 'Desktop' item to the main menu that will iconify all windows and menus and just show the open desktop.
apps/graphics/nxwidgets: CWidgetControl::handleLeftClick now returns a value to indicate if the click was actually processed or not. CWidgetControl::pollMouseEvents: Correct return value.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: CBackground::event(): Implement logic to handle a left click on the background and to bring up the main Menu. CWindowEvent: Extend message to distinguish between keyboard and mouse input. Mouse position and buttons now accompany the mouse input data. CMenus: Add methods to query and control the visibility of the menu.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Additional redesign. Window draggin now sort of works in an unreliable hurky-gurky way. More to be done.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: First cut at redesigned dragging logic
apps/graphics/NxWidgets: Fix a possible deadlock condition when waiting for window geometry data that will never come. Fixed by re-requesting geometry data if we don't already have it.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add some debug output.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Rethink how background events are handled.
apps/grephics/twm4nx: Expermimental organization to capture background events.
version 1.0.10 to NuttX NX windows server. No, a port is not the right
word. It is a re-design of TWM from the inside out to work with the NuttX
NX server. The name Twm4Nx reflects this legacy. But Twm4Nx is more a
homage to TWM than a port of TWM.
The original TWM was based on X11 which provides a rich set of features.
TWM provided titlebars, shaped windows, several forms of icon management,
user-defined macro functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard
focus, graphic contexts, and user-specified key and pointer button bindings,
etc.
Twm4Nx, on the other hand is based on the NuttX NX server which provides
comparatively minimal support. Additional drawing support comes from
the NuttX NxWidgets library (which necessitated the change to C++).
Twm4Nx is greatly stripped down and targeted on small embedded systems
with minimal resources. For example, no assumption is made about the
availability of a file system; no .twmrc file is used. Bitmaps are not
used (other than for fonts).
The TWM license is, I believe compatible with the BSD license used by NuttX.
The origin TWM license required notice of copyrights within each file and
a full copy of the original license which you can find in the COPYING file.
within this directory.
STATUS:
This port was brutal. Much TWM logic was removed because it depending on X11 features (or just because I could not understand how to use it). The logic is partial. A lot more needs to be done to have a complete system (hence, it is marked EXPERIMENTAL). The kinds of things that need to done are:
1. Update some logic that is only fragmentary for how like resizing, and menus.
2. Integrate NxWidgets into the windows: The resize menu needs a CLabel, the menus are CListBox'es, but not completely integrated, the Icon Manager needs to be a button array.
3. Resit Icons. They are windows now, but need to be compound widgets lying on the background.
4. Widget events are only partially integrated. A lot more needs to be done. A partial change to thoe event system that hints at the redesign is in place but it is far from complete.
