[Plib-users] PUI and openFrameworks

[digitalhack <dig...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am attempting to develop a wrapper for PUI that will allow for easy 
integration of PUI into openFrameworks applications.  openFrameworks is 
an open source c++ toolkit for creative coding.  It is built on OpenGL 
by way of GLUT.  There are several extensions for integrating UI 
components into applications but none of them are as complete as PUI.

The primary purpose for the wrapper is to adjust PUI to the coordinate 
system that is used by openFrameworks which has 0,0 in the upper left 
corner of the window and to align with the openFrameworks convention of 
x, y, width, height in widget calls.

I have been very successful with building the wrapper routines until I 
got to the puDialogBox.  The problem with  puDialogBox is that it grows 
in width and height as you add items to it.  The problem is that to 
convert the coordinate system I need to know the height of the area a 
widget will be displayed in so I can adjust the y value to map back to 
the PUI coordinate system.

I have searched the mailing list archives for any discussion on 
modifying the PUI coordinate system and didn't come up with anything.

If anyone has any suggestions for modifying the coordinate system of 
thoughts on how to handle the puDialogBox I would greatly appreciate 
hearing them.

Thanks,

Gregory
