visualframework

===============

a 2D graphics framework using SDL

Copyright (c) [Dan Wilcox](http://danomatika.com) 2009,2010

DESCRIPTION

-----------

visualframework is a C++ wrapper of various Simple Direct Media Layer (SDL) libraries into a slim, 2D graphics framework. It is meant to be used on low resource and embedded systems and should be as fast and minimal as possible, while being easy to use.

Provided functionality:

* 2D graphics primitives

* Image loading, drawing, and resizing

* TTF font rendering

* 2D vector (Point) 

* Thread

* Timer

This library was originally developed for the robotcowboy project, a wearable computer

music system using Pure Data in GNU/Linux. See 

BUILD REQUIREMENTS

------------------

The following libraries are required:

* SDL

* SDL_gfx

* SDL_Image

* SDL_TTF

On Max OS X, they can be installed using macports: http://macports.org

* install the macport binary and setup the macports environment

  * go to the Terminal and install the libs:

      

    sudo port install libsdl libsdl_gfx libsdl_image libsdl_ttf

BUILD AND INSTALLATION

----------------------

Build the library using: 

    ./configure

    make

Install the library (after building):

    sudo make install

This readme will also installed to your doc dir, something like $(prefix)/share/doc/rc-unitd.

USAGE

-----

Include visualframework.h and the visualframework folder (needed to find ).

Link to visualframework as the library should be compiled into "libvisualframework.a"

DEVELOPING

----------

A Premake4 script and IDE files can be found in the prj folder.  Premake4 can generate the IDE files from a given lua script.  Download Premake4 from 

You can enable a debug build using

    ./configure --enable-debug

I develop using an IDE, then update the autotools files when the sources are finished.  I run make dist-check to make sure the distributable package can be built successfully.
