X11 Display/Inputs driver
=========================
Overview
-------------
| The **X11** display/input `driver <https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/src/dev/x11>`__ offers support for simulating the LVGL display and keyboard/mouse inputs in an X11 desktop window.
| It is an alternative to **Wayland**, **XCB**, **SDL** or **Qt**.
The main purpose for this driver is for testing/debugging the LVGL application in a **Linux** simulation window.
Prerequisites
-------------
The X11 driver uses XLib to access the linux window manager.
1. Install XLib: ``sudo apt-get install libx11-6`` (should be installed already)
2. Install XLib development package: ``sudo apt-get install libx11-dev``
Configure X11 driver
--------------------
1. Enable the X11 driver support in lv_conf.h, by cmake compiler define or by KConfig
.. code:: c
#define LV_USE_X11 1
2. Optional configuration options:
- Direct Exit
.. code:: c
#define LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT 1 /*preferred default - ends the application automatically if last window has been closed*/
// or
#define LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT 0 /*application is responsible for ending the application (e.g. by own LV_EVENT_DELETE handler*/
- Double buffering
.. code:: c
#define LV_X11_DOUBLE_BUFFER 1 /*preferred default*/
// or
#define LV_X11_DOUBLE_BUFFER 0 /*not recommended*/
- Render mode
.. code:: c
#define LV_X11_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL 1 /*LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL, preferred default*/
// or
#define LV_X11_RENDER_MODE_DIRECT 1 /*LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_DIRECT, not recommended for X11 driver*/
// or
#define LV_X11_RENDER_MODE_DULL 1 /*LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_FULL, not recommended for X11 driver*/
Usage
-----
| The minimal initialisation opening a window and enabling keyboard/mouse support
| (e.g. in main.c, LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT must be 1):
.. code:: c
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
...
/* initialize X11 display driver */
lv_disp_t * disp = lv_x11_window_create("LVGL X11 Simulation", monitor_hor_res, monitor_ver_res);
/* initialize X11 input drivers (for keyboard, mouse & mousewheel) */
lv_x11_inputs_create(disp, NULL);
...
while(true)
{
...
/* Periodically call the lv_task handler */
lv_task_handler();
}
}
| Full initialisation with mouse pointer symbol and own application exit handling
| (dependent on LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT (can be 1 or 0))
.. code:: c
bool terminated = false;
#if !LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT
static void on_close_cb(lv_event_t * e)
{
...
terminate = true;
}
#endif
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
...
/* initialize X11 display driver */
lv_disp_t * disp = lv_x11_window_create("LVGL X11 Simulation", monitor_hor_res, monitor_ver_res);
lv_display_add_event_cb(disp, on_close_cb, LV_EVENT_DELETE, disp);
/* initialize X11 input drivers (for keyboard, mouse & mousewheel) */
LV_IMG_DECLARE(my_mouse_cursor_icon);
lv_x11_inputs_create(disp, &my_mouse_cursor_icon);
#if !LV_X11_DIRECT_EXIT
/* set optional window close callback to enable application cleanup and exit */
lv_x11_window_set_close_cb(disp, on_close_cb, disp);
#endif
...
while(!terminated)
{
...
/* Periodically call the lv_task handler */
lv_task_handler();
}
}
