x11/wxGTK30 3.0.5.1nb25 NetBSD

wxWidgets is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to compile and run on several different types of computer, with minimal source code changes. There is one library per supported GUI (such as Windows, GTK+, Motif, and Mac). As well as providing a common API (Application Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system facilities, from copying and deleting files to socket and thread support. wxWidgets is a 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in functionality, which the application can use or replace as required, thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such as strings, arrays, linked lists and hash tables are also supported.

Such a toolkit is not unique - there are others to choose from - but wxWidgets is free, well-established, well-documented, and very broad in its coverage of GUI functionality. It has some extras that make it stand out from the crowd, such as the many convenience dialogs, built-in HTML display and printing, virtual filesystems, easy-to-use OLE automation controller class, Open GL support, and many other features that make it easier to write modern and user-friendly applications.

This package contains the 3.0 branch of the library.
