Ekepoint          


 

 

Ekepoint is a C library for writing presentation software or actual presentations.

It uses Evas to do its rendering, so it supports such things as hardware accelerated graphics cards, truetype fonts, and alpha blending all over the place.

Ekemagic is a kinda Magicpoint-compatible program for doing presentations.

Usage

It's quite trivial to write up an ekepoint program... so, if you've got your slides in any kind of text file, making ekepoint slides is simple. Of course you can add in random images and code up animations if you want, but doing straight text slides is something like: 

#include <ekepoint.h>

int main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
        eke_init (argc, argv);

        eke_append_foil (text_foil ("Oath!",
                                    "Oathstix is a fun game played with "
                                    "yourself and a shaved puppy!");
        ...
        eke_append_foil (text_foil ("Pants",
                                    "Pants are an unnecessary evil.\n\n"
                                    "BURN THEM ALL NOW!");

        eke_main_loop ();
}

you'll need to install the following libraries:

  • imlib2
  • evas (>= 0.0.4)
  • ecore

These are available from the Enlightenment download section (off http://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment).
