Hi,

I know there's a GTK module for Oz, but does anyone know how current it
is? I can't seem to find anything on it... Also does anyone know if
there's a binding to OpenGL for Oz? I found MozartGL, but there's not
much info on it, or obtaining it.

I need access both to OpenGL and GTK (or an equivalent toolkit - has
anyone used Qtk?) for some (separate) work.

Cheers,
Chris

Correction: That should be Mozart 3D

The Mozart GTK binding bases on the 1.2 (Unix) and 1.3 (Windows) versions of GTK
together with the GtkCanvas package 0.1.

It is included in current 1.2.5 Windows release and can be separately downloaded
for the various Linuxes.

I do not know any Open GL binding for mozart; but maybe you might find
information about this on the MOGUL archive where contributed libraries reside

http://www.mozart-oz.org/mogul/

Cheers,
Thorsten.

Do you happen to know if there are plans to support GTK 2.0+?

I looked there, but could not find mention of OpenGL.

Thanks,

QTk is a mixed declarative/procedural front end to Tk; it does not provide
any functionality that Tk doesn't have, but it is *much* easier to use and learn
and it makes it easy to do dynamic user interfaces (see chapter 10 of my
book).

This probably doesn't help you much for your problem, though.

Well, as I am the author of this binding, it would most likely be my task to perform this.
However, currently there are no concrete plans to do this.

But since this Binding is generated semi-automatically, you easily could do it for yourself,
given the appropriate C libraries and some core infrastructure which could be adapted from
the exisiting GTK 2.0 binding to the Alice language (technically very close to the Mozart binding as it is its anchestor).

Maybe you should post your question concerning this issue to the mozart-oz.users or
mozart-oz.hackers newsgroups/mailing list -- some guy might have implemented
something privately and has not yet polished it for contribution to mogul.
