Hi Everyone Callbacks and creating instances of widgets is really straightforward in FLTK but I am finding the layout management quite confusing.
I have some gtk, tk and some html/css background. With css there is absolute positioning and relative positioning(and others likely). It's my understanding that with css it's a bad design practice to set everything by absolute position. With gtk there is hbox and vbox(from what I remember) that will position widgets within the container implicitly based on whether it is a vertical box or horizontal one. I am playing with Fl_Group right now. I thought that widgets inside groups might behave similar to css relative position but it appears it is still absolute. Is there a list of best design practices with fltk ? Is it best to think it terms of absolute positioning for everything ? If this is the case, is Fl_Group more of a declared region on the screen as opposed to a container that can move widgets around like a div would be in html ?
