    GUI Issues

    Hi,

    I want to create a GUI where a user can select drag and drop kind of
    boxes, circles and make connections between them. This is NOT for
    drawing picture like MS paint but I want to model state and transitions
    between them.

    This is basically for depicting states and dependencies. I am writing a
    program where I let the user input states and dependencies in a certain
    domain. Based on input given by user in the GUI (by letting him drag
    and drop), I grab it and run my algorithm to generate the output.

    I am wondering if there is any library like that in C++/Python , or if
    anybody of you has done something similar in past, could you post some
    pointers.

    Every help is greatly appreciate,

    many thanks

      Qt is your friend: www.trolltech.com

      Also, look for 'Available C++ Libraries FAQ' post appearing here every
      month or so, posted by Nikki Locke.

      Next time please ask about GUI in a newsgroup for your platform since
      most of GUI stuff is platform-specific. Even though there are libraries
      like Qt that are ported to more than one platform, GUI is still not a C++
      language feature and as such is basically OT here.

          That's exactly what the sample I pointed you to works. Did you try them?

          You can do the exact same thing in Python with Tkinter. The point of the
          exercise is a smart canvas that treats graphical primitives as objects, and
          a geometry system like GraphViz that lays out nodes and edges properly.
