[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] SkinDial QDial compatible class for eyecandy knobs

The SkinDial class is written in Qt [1] provides flexible pixmap based dial/knob widget compatible with QDial [2]. The idea was to make it using Qt's QDial API so that apps (mainly audio apps) using this class can make use of eyecandy knobs without changing the code. (except for the constructor). screenshot: http://www.linuxsampler.org/misc2/skindial/skindialtest.png download: http://www.linuxsampler.org/misc2/skindial/skindial-0.0.2.tgz The full HTML documentation about the SkinDial widget is located in the docs directory. To show the possibilities of SkinDial widget we supplied an example program that displays various knobs. The example program is self explanatory. to compile and run the example program: qmake make.pro make ./skindialtest I'd like to thank Thorsten Wilms and Peter Shorthose for the 3D knob artwork rendered with Blender [3] If you make new knob pixmaps that you would like to contribute to SkinDial please let us know. Thanks Christian Schoenebeck for checking the doxygen API docs and various stuff. and the people on #lad and #qt channels for useful hints and inputs. The blender files and a README how to render the knob pixmaps are included in the knob_3d directory. larsl from #lad made a similar (with less options) widget for gtkmm. What do you think of making a web page that collects all those ready to use skinnable widgets so that users avoid reinventing the wheel (the knob :) ) all over again ? cheers, Benno http://www.linuxsampler.org [1] http://www.trolltech.com [2] http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qdial.html [3] http://www.blender3d.com
