I'm needing to do some screen layout proposals, and really like the look of the pictures used in Joel's Mercurial tutorial, example here:
http://hginit.com/01.html
Can someone enlighten me on what tool(s) will generate this kind of output?
I guess a related question would be if people have a favorite screen mock up tool? It's not a requirement for me that the mockup be "functional".
Thanks!
Mike
It looks like balsamiq to me; the Comic Sans is a dead giveaway...
Edit: I’ve used balsamiq for screen mock-ups, and it’s very good. The only downside is that it is not free. And it uses Comic sans! ;)
I agree with Sébastien, but would like to point out that Pencil might enable you to produce similar-looking mockups.
this looks like toolbar buttons used in the command line window
it took me a sec to realize you have to set the window widget's properties to display the buttons as shown to get them to show up

I want to play a video of some type/format in my c++ program, i have installed Allegro 4.2.2 and Allegro5 along with both MSVC10 and MSVC13, i don't want to use any other library as they are a bit difficult to understand, if there is an easier way then tell me else tell me how to accomplish this task with Allegro?
As of Allegro5.1, there is a video
addon (it is not available in
5.0).
There is an
example
included in the allegro5 repository demonstrating how to use it.
The general gist is:
Invoke al_init_video_addon
Open the video with al_open_video
Start the video with al_start_video
Get the current frame as a bitmap with al_get_video_frame
Draw that bitmap with the usual bitmap drawing functions (al_draw_*_bitmap)
Repeat 4-5 during your game loop, then invoke al_close_video when you are done.
In the example they use al_draw_scaled_bitmap to scale the bitmap to the
screen; just take a look at the comments.
Note that you will need to link the video addon when linking your program
(-lallegro_video).

I need a custom Rich-Edit control for making a text processing application. It must be Open-Source so that I can add my own feature. The windows default Rich-Edit controls are buggy for me cause I'm using my own font ( Bangla Font ). I've used all version of windows Rich-Edit but none those works well for me.
So now I need an owner drawn Rich-Edit control which must be Open-Source and also should include all the features of windows rich edit control.
I've searched on Google but have not found any useful.
If anybody know, Please give me the website link.
Take a look at Scintilla
It's Open Source and Notepad++ uses it.
EDIT: since Scintilla isn't really made for that kind of rich edit you could download Open Office's source code and find out how they do it.

I'm making an application in Qt to show bitcoin charts (perhaps to trade in the future as well).
I want it to be presented in the traditional OHLC (Open High Low Close) format.
So far the only ways I found to chart the price data was in Python (and not easy to update in realtime at all). Anyone knows a good chart library for C++/Qt that I can use here?
I see Qt, has Qt charts, but that's a paid library and I want my project to be free.
The QCustomPlot library can create OHLC and candlestick charts:
The class you're looking for there is the QCPFinancial plottable. For realtime display, you can change all the data with setData(...) and access or modify existing values with the data() method.
I've used QWT for live charts in biomedical applications and liked it a lot.
http://qwt.sourceforge.net/
It has a trade plot class you could have a look at:

I am looking for a API/web service for me to retrieve a list of landmarks, points of interest (and their GPS coordinates) near a given city. I tried google places including the query Place Search and type point_of_interest, but the results do not seem satisfactory.
For example, to Paris, I need an answer:
Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, ...
What would you advise me to find such information.
A couple options:
Foursquare Venues Platform
Factual Places API
Google places has the flag "point_of_interest" but only to show, not for search (see Table 2 in https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types)
Google Earth on the other hand has what you need. See the icons for Tourist destination, Monument and Historical Place in https://support.google.com/earth/answer/180709?hl=en#what
However I am not sure if there is an API for this data, or if you need to find a way to extract it from GE.

I have a program I am trying to port to linux.
The program is a command prompt program that displays memory on screen, you can move around the memory using the arrow keys.
Im new to linux and don't really understand how the terminal works.
What Im looking for is some good tutorials or a chapter in a book to teach me hoe to write linux programs using the terminal the same way I would use command prompt in windows.
I want to know things like changing background and text colours, clearing the screen, being able to move up and down the lines of text and how to detect keyboard input. Basically how to create a user interface using the linux terminal.
I am using centos and g++ if that makes a difference.
Something like htop? You should have a look on ncruses.
I suggest you need ncurses
