[mrpt-gui]

Overview

GUI support: 2D plots (Matlab-like), 3D rendering viewports, etc.

Library mrpt-gui

This C++ library is part of MRPT and can be installed in Debian-based systems with:

sudo apt install libmrpt-gui-dev

Read also how to import MRPT into your CMake scripts.

This library provides these classes that represent GUI windows, each having a specific specialized purpose:

  • mrpt::gui::CDisplayWindow: Displays 2D bitmap images, and optionally sets of points over them, etc.

  • mrpt::gui::CDisplayWindow3D: A powerful 3D rendering window capable of displaying a mrpt::opengl::Scene, or efficiently displaying 2D images using graphics card acceleration. It features mouse navigation, Alt+Enter fullscreen switching, multiple viewports, etc. See Tutorial: 3D scenes.

  • mrpt::gui::CDisplayWindowPlots: Displays one or more 2D vectorial graphs, in a manner very similar to MATLAB “plot” commands.

  • mrpt::gui::CDisplayWindowGUI: UI capable of complex controls, subwindows, menus, etc. powered by the nanogui library.

All these window classes inherits from mrpt::gui::CBaseGUIWindow, which provides a set of methods and variables common to all the classes. It allow moving/resizing the windows, polling for key strokes, etc. Note events-driven applications can be also implemented since it also implements the mrpt::system::CObservable pattern, emitting events as described in the description of mrpt::gui::CBaseGUIWindow.

All the classes in this library are in the namespace mrpt::gui
