3 * Maybe some people would ask, "why don't you just use Clutter?"
|
|
|
4 * The anwser is the author of MadButterfly know name of Clutter,
|
|
|
5 * but he don't know what is Clutter exactly when he start the project.
|
|
|
6 * The author of MadButterfly is some kind of cowboy, he make things
|
|
|
7 * just because he have some ideas. Actually, he know what Clutter
|
|
|
8 * just one week after starting the project. Some guy send him a
|
|
|
9 * video from Andre Schmidt. Andre implements a software to control
|
|
|
10 * volumne of sound card as a concept proving for idea of using
|
|
|
11 * SVG as a media to connect UI designers and application programmers.
|
|
|
12 * The work of Andre is based on Clutter. It is first time the author

|
|

|
|
|
19 * to adapt SVG to C and other languages. Clutter is about more and more

20 * heavy.
