FGQCanvas
A Qt-based remote canvas application for FlightGear. This app can connect to a FlightGear instance which has the built-in HTTPD server enabled and display any canvas in real-time.
Usage
Start FlightGear with the '--httpd' option, passing a port number. This can be done in the 'additional options' box if using the launcher.
--httpd=8080
Start FGQCanvas and enter the WebSocket url, with a suitable host-name and port. Provide the path to the Canvas you want to display (this part will become smarter in the future!)
Examples URLs:
ws://localhost:8080/PropertyTreeMirrorws://mycomputer.local:8001/PropertyTreeMirror
Example Canvas path:
/canvas/by-index/texture[0]/
Limitations
- Clipping is still being worked on
- Fonts are not loaded from the host instance yet
- Image loading is still being worked on, no support for remote image loading yet.
- Performance is mediocre due to proof-of-concept implementation
- No input event support yet
Future plans
- Finish image, clip and font loading
- Switch to OpenGL rendering
- Support event-input to the Canvas
- Rewrite to use Skia
