Welcome everyone, to the newly created Xpresser Team!
First of all, I'd like to thank Gustavo for all the great work he's
done by creating/maintaining xpresser for such a long time.
I'd just like to briefly discuss the top priority for development of
Xpresser today, and that is the GTK3 port. Without this, Xpresser will
not work natively in Precise, which could cause a lot of problems for
a lot of people. So our main goal is to finish the GTK3 port of
Xpresser before 12.04 LTS is released.
There is already a work-in-progress for this port (thanks Gustavo!)
that can be found here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~niemeyer/xpresser/gtk3-port and a
blueprint can be found here:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xpresser/+spec/xpresser-gtk3-port
Does anyone have any ideas/plans for the best ways to accomplish this?
From what I understand from Gustavo, the issue currently is that in
GTK3, there is no quick way to get a numpy array of pixels from a
framebuffer, which is how Xpresser worked in GTK2 (feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong!)
Howdy!
Interesting, I didn't expect that. How comes that GTK3 is crucial?
My internal plan was the opposite - getting rid of GTK alltogether
and using QT for as much as possible, because PySide seems to
be very capable meanwhile.
The interfacing to NumPy is no problem then, ASFAICT.
