## Introduction
|
|
<a name="introduction">
|
|
|
|
cwidget is a modern, high-level C++ user interface library using
|
|
[ncurses][] as its display and input layer. It uses the signal/slot
|
|
programming model popularized by toolkits such as [GTK+][] and [Qt][],
|
|
using [SigC++][] to provide signals and slots.
|
|
|
|
[GTK+]: <http://www.gtk.org>
|
|
[Qt]: <https://qt-project.org/>
|
|
[SigC++]: <http://libsigc.sourceforge.net>
|
|
[ncurses]: <http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/>

## Status
|
|
<a name="status">
|
|
|
|
cwidget was originally an internal user interface library for the
|
|
[aptitude][] package manager. This means, on the one hand, that
|
|
cwidget is known to work in the real world for a real application; on
|
|
the other hand, it means that the feature set of cwidget is
|
|
coextensive with the requirements of aptitude. Features not needed by
|
|
aptitude may be missing or incomplete, and cwidget's documentation is
|
|
spotty. For this reason, the current focus of cwidget development is
|
|
on filling in gaps in the library and documenting existing code.
