Box Types
FLTK standard box types This enum defines the standard box types included with FLTK. Note The documented `enum` `Fl_Boxtype` contains some values (names) with leading underscores, e.g. `_FL_SHADOW_BOX.` This is due to technical reasons - please use the same values (names) without the leading underscore in your code! Enum values with leading underscores are reserved for internal use and subject to change without notice! FL_NO_BOX means nothing is drawn at all, so whatever is already on the screen remains. The FL_..._FRAME types only draw their edges, leaving the interior unchanged. The blue color in the image below is the area that is not drawn by the frame types.

Alignment Flags
Flags to control the label alignment. This controls how the label is displayed next to or inside the widget. The default value is FL_ALIGN_CENTER (0) for most widgets, which centers the label inside the widget. All alignment flags use the common prefix "FL_ALIGN_". In the following descriptions this prefix is sometimes omitted for brevity. Flags can be or'd to achieve a combination of alignments, but there are some "magic values" (e.g. combinations of TOP and BOTTOM and of LEFT and RIGHT) that have special meanings (see below). For instance: FL_ALIGN_TOP_LEFT == (FL_ALIGN_TOP \| FL_ALIGN_LEFT) != FL_ALIGN_LEFT_TOP. Outside alignments (FL_ALIGN_INSIDE is not set): TOP_LEFT TOP TOP_RIGHT +---------------------------------+ LEFT_TOP\| \|RIGHT_TOP \| \| LEFT\| CENTER \|RIGHT \| \| LEFT_BOTTOM\| \|RIGHT_BOTTOM +---------------------------------+ BOTTOM_LEFT BOTTOM BOTTOM_RIGHT Inside alignments (FL_ALIGN_INSIDE is set): +---------------------------------+ \|TOP_LEFT TOP TOP_RIGHT\| \| \| \|LEFT CENTER RIGHT\| \| \| \|BOTTOM_LEFT BOTTOM BOTTOM_RIGHT\| +---------------------------------+ FL_ALIGN_INSIDE const Fl_Align FL_ALIGN_INSIDE Draw the label inside of the widget. Definition Enumerations.H:1000 See also Fl_Align, FL_ALIGN_CENTER, etc. Note Bit positions not defined in the following constants of type `Fl_Align` are reserved for future extensions. Do not use. The "magic values" (FL_ALIGN_)LEFT_TOP, RIGHT_TOP, LEFT_BOTTOM, and RIGHT_BOTTOM must not be used together with FL_ALIGN_INSIDE. Use TOP_LEFT, TOP_RIGHT, BOTTOM_LEFT, or BOTTOM_RIGHT instead. Although bits can be or'd together there are some unused/illegal combinations, for instance: setting both FL_ALIGN_TOP and FL_ALIGN_BOTTOM in combinations other than those given in the `Fl_Align` constants below (magic values) setting both FL_ALIGN_LEFT and FL_ALIGN_RIGHT in combinations other than those given in the `Fl_Align` constants below (magic values) using one of the "magic values" (2) together with FL_ALIGN_INSIDE Using illegal bit combinations or undefined bits may yield unexpected behavior, and this behavior may be changed without notice in future FLTK versions.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ FL_ABI_VERSION

#define FL_ABI_VERSION FL_API_VERSION

The FLTK ABI (Application Binary Interface) version number as an int.

FL_ABI_VERSION is an int that describes the major, minor, and patch ABI version numbers in the same format as FL_API_VERSION.

The ABI version number FL_ABI_VERSION is usually the same as the API version FL_API_VERSION with the last two digits set to '00'.

FLTK retains the ABI (Application Binary Interface) during patch releases of the same major and minor versions. Examples:

  FLTK Version  FL_API_VERSION  FL_ABI_VERSION  FL_VERSION (deprecated)
    1.3.0          10300           10300           1.0300
    1.3.4          10304           10300           1.0304

Version 1.2.3 is actually stored as 10203 to allow for more than 9 minor and patch releases.

The FL_MAJOR_VERSION, FL_MINOR_VERSION, and FL_PATCH_VERSION constants give the integral values for the major, minor, and patch releases respectively.

To enable new ABI-breaking features in patch releases you can configure FLTK to use a higher FL_ABI_VERSION.

See also: README.abi-version.txt

◆ FL_API_VERSION

#define FL_API_VERSION (FL_MAJOR_VERSION*10000 + FL_MINOR_VERSION*100 + FL_PATCH_VERSION)

The FLTK API version number as an int.

FL_API_VERSION is an int that describes the major, minor, and patch version numbers.

Version 1.2.3 is actually stored as 10203 to allow for more than 9 minor and patch releases.

The FL_MAJOR_VERSION, FL_MINOR_VERSION, and FL_PATCH_VERSION constants give the integral values for the major, minor, and patch releases respectively.

Note: FL_API_VERSION is intended to replace the deprecated double FL_VERSION.

See also: Fl::api_version()

◆ FL_IMAGE_LABEL

#define FL_IMAGE_LABEL fl_define_FL_IMAGE_LABEL()

Draws an image (Fl_Image) as the label.

This is useful for one particular part of an Fl_Multi_Label. Use Fl_Widget::image() and/or Fl_Widget::deimage() for normal widgets with images as labels.

◆ FL_MAJOR_VERSION

#define FL_MAJOR_VERSION 1

The major release version of this FLTK library.

See also: FL_VERSION

◆ FL_MINOR_VERSION

#define FL_MINOR_VERSION 4

The minor release version for this library.

FLTK remains mostly source-code compatible between minor version changes.

◆ FL_MULTI_LABEL

#define FL_MULTI_LABEL fl_define_FL_MULTI_LABEL()

Draws a label that can comprise several parts like text and images.

See also: Fl_Multi_Label

◆ FL_PATCH_VERSION

#define FL_PATCH_VERSION 2

The patch version for this library.

FLTK remains binary compatible between patches.

◆ FL_SYMBOL_LABEL

#define FL_SYMBOL_LABEL FL_NORMAL_LABEL

Sets the current label type and returns its corresponding Fl_Labeltype value.

FL_SYMBOL_LABEL is an alias for FL_NORMAL_LABEL.

'@' symbols can be drawn with normal labels as well.
This definition is for historical reasons only (forms compatibility). You should use FL_NORMAL_LABEL instead.

◆ FL_VERSION

#define FL_VERSION

Value:

                          ( (double)FL_MAJOR_VERSION + \
                          (double)FL_MINOR_VERSION * 0.01 + \
                          (double)FL_PATCH_VERSION * 0.0001 )

The FLTK version number as a double.

FL_VERSION is a double that describes the major, minor, and patch version numbers.

Version 1.2.3 is actually stored as 1.0203 to allow for more than 9 minor and patch releases.

Deprecated:: This double version number is retained for compatibility with existing program code. New code should use int FL_API_VERSION instead. FL_VERSION is deprecated because comparisons of floating point values may fail due to rounding errors. However, there are currently no plans to remove this deprecated constant.

FL_VERSION is equivalent to (double)FL_API_VERSION / 10000.

See also: Fl::version() (deprecated as well); FL_API_VERSION; Fl::api_version()

Typedef Documentation

◆ Fl_Contrast_Function

typedef Fl_Color() Fl_Contrast_Function(Fl_Color, Fl_Color, int, int)

Type of a custom fl_contrast() function.

Use this signature to define your own custom fl_contrast() function together with fl_contrast_mode(FL_CONTRAST_CUSTOM). Example:

Fl_Color my_contrast(Fl_Color fg, Fl_Color bg, int context, int size) {
  // calculate contrast and ...
  return color;
}
// call this early in your main() program:
fl_contrast_function(my_contrast);
fl_contrast_mode(FL_CONTRAST_CUSTOM);
fl_contrast_level(50); // optional, must be called after fl_contrast_mode()

For parameters and types see fl_contrast(Fl_Color, Fl_Color, int, int).

See also: fl_contrast(Fl_Color, Fl_Color, int, int); fl_contrast_mode(int)

◆ Fl_Fontsize

typedef int Fl_Fontsize

Size of a font in pixels.

This is the approximate height of a font in pixels.

FL_DAMAGE_ALL	Everything needs to be redrawn.

◆ Fl_Event

enum Fl_Event

Every time a user moves the mouse pointer, clicks a button, or presses a key, an event is generated and sent to your application.

Events can also come from other programs like the window manager.

Events are identified by the integer argument passed to the Fl_Widget::handle() virtual method. Other information about the most recent event is stored in static locations and acquired by calling the Fl::event_*() methods. This static information remains valid until the next event is read from the window system, so it is ok to look at it outside of the handle() method.

Event numbers can be converted to their actual names using the fl_eventnames[] array defined in #include <FL/names.h>

See also: Fl::event_text(), Fl::event_key(), class Fl::

Enumerator
FL_NO_EVENT	No event.
FL_PUSH	A mouse button has gone down with the mouse pointing at this widget. You can find out what button by calling Fl::event_button(). You find out the mouse position by calling Fl::event_x() and Fl::event_y(). A widget indicates that it "wants" the mouse click by returning non-zero from its Fl_Widget::handle() method. It will then become the Fl::pushed() widget and will get FL_DRAG and the matching FL_RELEASE events. If Fl_Widget::handle() returns zero then FLTK will try sending the FL_PUSH to another widget.
FL_RELEASE	A mouse button has been released. You can find out what button by calling Fl::event_button(). In order to receive the FL_RELEASE event, the widget must return non-zero when handling FL_PUSH.
FL_ENTER	The mouse has been moved to point at this widget. This can be used for highlighting feedback. If a widget wants to highlight or otherwise track the mouse, it indicates this by returning non-zero from its handle() method. It then becomes the Fl::belowmouse() widget and will receive FL_MOVE and FL_LEAVE events.
FL_LEAVE	The mouse has moved out of the widget. In order to receive the FL_LEAVE event, the widget must return non-zero when handling FL_ENTER.
FL_DRAG	The mouse has moved with a button held down. The current button state is in Fl::event_state(). The mouse position is in Fl::event_x() and Fl::event_y(). In order to receive FL_DRAG events, the widget must return non-zero when handling FL_PUSH.
FL_FOCUS	This indicates an attempt to give a widget the keyboard focus. If a widget wants the focus, it should change itself to display the fact that it has the focus, and return non-zero from its handle() method. It then becomes the Fl::focus() widget and gets FL_KEYDOWN, FL_KEYUP, and FL_UNFOCUS events. The focus will change either because the window manager changed which window gets the focus, or because the user tried to navigate using tab, arrows, or other keys. You can check Fl::event_key() to figure out why it moved. For navigation it will be the key pressed and for interaction with the window manager it will be zero.
FL_UNFOCUS	This event is sent to the previous Fl::focus() widget when another widget gets the focus or the window loses focus.
FL_KEYDOWN	A key was pressed (FL_KEYDOWN) or released (FL_KEYUP). Fl_KEYBOARD is a synonym for FL_KEYDOWN. The key can be found in Fl::event_key(). The text that the key should insert can be found with Fl::event_text() and its length is in Fl::event_length(). If you use the key handle() should return 1. If you return zero then FLTK assumes you ignored the key and will then attempt to send it to a parent widget. If none of them want it, it will change the event into a FL_SHORTCUT event. To receive FL_KEYBOARD events you must also respond to the FL_FOCUS and FL_UNFOCUS events. If you are writing a text-editing widget you may also want to call the Fl::compose() function to translate individual keystrokes into non-ASCII characters. FL_KEYUP events are sent to the widget that currently has focus. This is not necessarily the same widget that received the corresponding FL_KEYDOWN event because focus may have changed between events.
FL_KEYBOARD	Equivalent to FL_KEYDOWN. See also FL_KEYDOWN
FL_KEYUP	Key release event. See also FL_KEYDOWN
FL_CLOSE	The user clicked the close button of a window. This event is used internally only to trigger the callback of Fl_Window derived classed. The default callback closes the window calling Fl_Window::hide().
FL_MOVE	The mouse has moved without any mouse buttons held down. This event is sent to the Fl::belowmouse() widget. In order to receive FL_MOVE events, the widget must return non-zero when handling FL_ENTER.
FL_SHORTCUT	If the Fl::focus() widget is zero or ignores an FL_KEYBOARD event then FLTK tries sending this event to every widget it can, until one of them returns non-zero. FL_SHORTCUT is first sent to the Fl::belowmouse() widget, then its parents and siblings, and eventually to every widget in the window, trying to find an object that returns non-zero. FLTK tries really hard to not to ignore any keystrokes! You can also make "global" shortcuts by using Fl::add_handler(). A global shortcut will work no matter what windows are displayed or which one has the focus.
FL_DEACTIVATE	This widget is no longer active, due to Fl_Widget::deactivate() being called on it or one of its parents. Fl_Widget::active() may still be true after this, the widget is only active if Fl_Widget::active() is true on it and all its parents (use Fl_Widget::active_r() to check this).
FL_ACTIVATE	This widget is now active, due to Fl_Widget::activate() being called on it or one of its parents.
FL_HIDE	This widget is no longer visible, due to Fl_Widget::hide() being called on it or one of its parents, or due to a parent window being minimized. Fl_Widget::visible() may still be true after this, but the widget is visible only if visible() is true for it and all its parents (use Fl_Widget::visible_r() to check this).
FL_SHOW	This widget is visible again, due to Fl_Widget::show() being called on it or one of its parents, or due to a parent window being restored. Child Fl_Windows respond to this by actually creating the window if not done already, so if you subclass a window, be sure to pass FL_SHOW to the base class Fl_Widget::handle() method!
FL_PASTE	You should get this event some time after you call Fl::paste(). The contents of Fl::event_text() is the text to insert and the number of characters is in Fl::event_length().
FL_SELECTIONCLEAR	The Fl::selection_owner() will get this event before the selection is moved to another widget. This indicates that some other widget or program has claimed the selection. Motif programs used this to clear the selection indication. Most modern programs ignore this.
FL_MOUSEWHEEL	The user has moved the mouse wheel. The Fl::event_dx() and Fl::event_dy() methods can be used to find the amount to scroll horizontally and vertically.
FL_DND_ENTER	The mouse has been moved to point at this widget. A widget that is interested in receiving drag'n'drop data must return 1 to receive FL_DND_DRAG, FL_DND_LEAVE and FL_DND_RELEASE events.
FL_DND_DRAG	The mouse has been moved inside a widget while dragging data. A widget that is interested in receiving drag'n'drop data should indicate the possible drop position.
FL_DND_LEAVE	The mouse has moved out of the widget.
FL_DND_RELEASE	The user has released the mouse button dropping data into the widget. If the widget returns 1, it will receive the data in the immediately following FL_PASTE event.
FL_SCREEN_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED	The screen configuration (number, positions) was changed. Use Fl::add_handler() to be notified of this event.
FL_FULLSCREEN	The fullscreen state of the window has changed. This event is sent to the window's handle method.
FL_ZOOM_GESTURE	The user has made a zoom/pinch/magnification gesture (Mac OS platform only). The Fl::event_dy() method can be used to find magnification amount, Fl::event_x() and Fl::event_y() are set as well. This event is sent to the window's handle method.
FL_ZOOM_EVENT	A zoom event (ctrl/+/-/0/ or cmd/+/-/0/) was processed. Use Fl::add_handler() to be notified of this event.

◆ Fl_Labeltype

enum Fl_Labeltype

The labeltype() method sets the type of the label.

Note: The documented enum Fl_Labeltype contains some values (names) with leading underscores, e.g. _FL_IMAGE_LABEL. This is due to technical reasons - please use the same values (names) without the leading underscore in your code! Enum values with leading underscores are reserved for internal use and subject to change without notice!

The following standard label types are included:

Enumerator
FL_NORMAL_LABEL	draws the text (0)
FL_NO_LABEL	does nothing
_FL_SHADOW_LABEL	draws a drop shadow under the text
_FL_ENGRAVED_LABEL	draws edges as though the text is engraved
_FL_EMBOSSED_LABEL	draws edges as though the text is raised
_FL_MULTI_LABEL	draws a composite label See also Fl_Multi_Label
_FL_ICON_LABEL	draws the icon associated with the text
_FL_IMAGE_LABEL	the label displays an "icon" based on a Fl_Image
FL_FREE_LABELTYPE	first free labeltype to use for creating own labeltypes

◆ Fl_Orientation

enum Fl_Orientation

Fl_Orientation describes the orientation of a GUI element.

FLTK schemes can draw several graphical elements, for instance arrows, pointing at different directions. This enum defines the direction to use for drawing a particular GUI element.

The definition of this enum was chosen such that the enum value can be multiplied by 45 to get a rotation angle in degrees starting at the horizontal axis (0 = right, 1 = NE, 2 = up, ...) that can be used with fl_rotate(). Note: angle is counter-clockwise in degrees.

The 'unspecified' value FL_ORIENT_NONE shall be used for elements that would usually not be rotated, like the return arrow of the Fl_Return_Button. It can still be used as an angle though since it is the same value as FL_ORIENT_RIGHT (0 degrees).

Note: This enum is not yet stable (as of FLTK 1.4.0) and may be changed without notice as necessary.

Since: 1.4.0

Enumerator
FL_ORIENT_NONE	GUI element direction is unspecified.
FL_ORIENT_RIGHT	GUI element pointing right ( 0°)
FL_ORIENT_NE	GUI element pointing NE ( 45°)
FL_ORIENT_UP	GUI element pointing up ( 90°)
FL_ORIENT_NW	GUI element pointing NW (135°)
FL_ORIENT_LEFT	GUI element pointing left (180°)

◆ Fl_When

enum Fl_When

These constants determine when a callback is performed.

Fl_When is a bit field. Some values are merely shortcuts for common bit combinations. New flags may be added in the future, so it's important to mask the required bit when reading via when().

Note: Some widgets may not fully support FL_WHEN_... flags.

See also: Fl_Widget::when(), Fl::callback_reason(), Fl_Callback_Reason, Fl_Widget::do_callback()

Enumerator
FL_WHEN_NEVER	Never call the callback.
FL_WHEN_CHANGED	Do the callback only when the widget value changes.
FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED	Do the callback whenever the user interacts with the widget.
FL_WHEN_RELEASE	Do the callback when the button or key is released and the value changes.
FL_WHEN_RELEASE_ALWAYS	Do the callback when the button or key is released, even if the value doesn't change.
FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY	Do the callback when the user presses the ENTER key and the value changes.
FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY_ALWAYS	Do the callback when the user presses the ENTER key, even if the value doesn't change.

Function Documentation

◆ fl_box()

Fl_Boxtype fl_box ( Fl_Boxtype b )

inline

Get the filled version of a frame.

If no filled version of a given frame exists, the behavior of this function is undefined and some random box or frame is returned.

◆ fl_color_cube()

Fl_Color fl_color_cube	(	int	r,
		int	g,
		int	b
	)

inline

Returns a color out of the color cube.

r must be in the range 0 to FL_NUM_RED (5) minus 1, g must be in the range 0 to FL_NUM_GREEN (8) minus 1, b must be in the range 0 to FL_NUM_BLUE (5) minus 1.

To get the closest color to a 8-bit set of R,G,B values use:

fl_color_cube(R * (FL_NUM_RED - 1) / 255,
   G * (FL_NUM_GREEN - 1) / 255,
   B * (FL_NUM_BLUE - 1) / 255);
