Introduction

The purpose is to have a small tutorial about the use of Clutter and Mx under Python3.

Clutter

Quotting the Clutter web page: “Clutter is an open source (LGPL 2.1) software library for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces. It is a core part of MeeGo, and is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel.”

It uses OpenGL.

Mx

It is a toolkit developed on top of Clutter. Originally developped for Maemo/Moblin then merged into Moblin (now dead and evolved into Tizen), but as for now is an independent project.

Other technologies

It seems that this can be used with other technologies such as:

• Gtk
• Gstreamer
• Cairo
