# BBS-Ada-Widgets

## Introduction

A collection of Gtk widgets written in Ada for use with Gtkada.  Additional

widgets will be added or current widgets updated as I feel the need.

### The Dial Widget

The primary widget is a Dial widget.  This is probably most useful as an example

of how to create a custom Gtkada widget.  There is quite a comprehensive set of

dial widgets already available, but their complexity may obscure some of the

basics for creating your own.  The dial widget has a number of options for

setting the type of dial.

* Setting the size, minimum, and maximum values.  This is set at creation and can't be changed.

* Is the dial a full circle or an arc.

* Does the dial use a pointer or a filled arc.

* Number of major and minor tick marks.

* Red and yellow lines and both the lower and upper ends of the dial.

* Does the dial indication jump to a new value or does it slew.

Note that these options were added in an ad hoc fashion based on what I was interested in.

### Flight Instrument Widgets

A set of widgets is being developed that emulate the basic flight instruments.  As

these are under development, they should be considered to be experimental and

subject to change.

NOTE: These widgets are suitable for demonstrations, mock-up, simulations, and the

like.  They are not suitable for use as actual aircraft instruments.

The current set is:

* Attitude Indicator

* Altimeter

* Compass

* Turn Coordinator

* Vertical Speed

* Airspeed
