Re: [sumo-user] Will SUMO GUI be migrated to Qt?

[Jakob Erdmann <namdre.sumo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

that plan is still on the road map but no starting date is set yet and it will take maybe 1-2 years to do the migration parallel to our main work.

Fox toolkit was chosen at a time when the Qt license was more restrictive than it is now (~20 years ago) and other toolkits had problems with portability.

regards,

Jakob

Hi SUMO friends 

As I saw from SUMO GitHub Issues track,  there seems to be some plan to migrated SUMO GUI (and threading) from Fox Toolkit to QT. 

Is that plan still ON the roadmap?

I am asking because I need to custom the GUI,  and would need to work on developing some customized Fox Toolkit widget to fit my needs. If SUMO will be migrated to Qt, there is no point for me to spend time on customizing Fox widget.

Thank you

Wuping Xin

PS  Just curious why Fox Toolkit was selected in the beginning —— it is basically a gui lib maintained (or not maintained)  by a solo developer in his spare time and one has to dig into its not-so-well-documented source code to figure out things.
