It's used by many +organisations all over the world, including the company that +invented the GUI. + +For most ports, wxWindows adopts the native look and feel of +each platform since it uses the native widget sets. There is also +a generic widget set, used for the wxX11 port -- no other widget set +is required, giving the potential for embedded use. + +An extraordinary range of classes is provided - but don't be put +off by this because most people find wxWindows easier to learn +and use than MFC and other frameworks. + +As well as comprehensive support for the usual widgets, advanced +features include: HTML viewing/printing, wxImage class providing +handlers for eading and writing many image types, resizeable panels +and dialogs on all platforms, document/view, OpenGL support, +HTML-based and context-sensitive help, wizards, drag and drop, +a grid class, ODBC support, threads, sockets, container classes, +and much more. An 1800-page reference manual is provided in HTML, +MS HTML Help, WinHelp, wxWindows Help and PDF, and there are over +70 samples and demos. + +If you're an MFC user, you'll find many wxWindows concepts +reassuringly familiar, while often clearer and more consistent. +If you're not, you should still find it intuitive from the start. + +wxWindows bindings for several other languages are available, +including Python, Perl, Basic, Lua, JavaScript and Eiffel. + +If you're considering wxWindows, do check out some of these links: + + http://www.wxwindows.org/feedback.htm ; Comments from users + http://www.wxwindows.org/screensh.htm ; Screenshots + http://www.wxwindows.org/users.htm ; A list of some of our + ; users + +Have fun! + +Julian Smart and the wxWindows team + diff --git a/docs/readme.txt b/docs/readme.txt index e35c0a1314..989b190a88 100644 --- a/docs/readme.txt +++ b/docs/readme.txt @@ -35,10 +35,9 @@ wxWindows currently supports the following platforms: - Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP - Most Unix variants with GTK+ -- Most Unix variants with X11 (restricted feature set) -- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif (restricted feature set) +- Most Unix variants with X11 +- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif - MacOS 9.x and 10.x -- DOS with MGL (beta) - OS/2 (alpha) Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt -- 2.47.2
