                              GtkHX

Introduction:
============= 
 
GtkHX is a Gtk-friendly wrapper around the hxclientkit library.
hxclientkit is a C binding that wraps the helix client core.

The main widget of interest in GtkHX is the GtkHXPlayer. This
widget can be used to easily embed a video window into a gtk
application.

There are several supporting widgets within GtkHX:

o GtkHXBin is a container widget that derives from GtkBin. It
  sizes a contained gtk widget 

o GStatisticsObserver derives from GObject, and can be used
  to monitor the statistics information produced by the helix
  client core. Call g_hxstatistics_observer_new with the player
  and the name of the statistic you want to observe. Statistics
  include, among other things, clip information ("title", 
  "author", "copyright").

o GHXValue, designed to be binary-compatible with GConfValue.
  These values are used by helix preferences system to load/save
  preferences. They are also used as a variant type by the 
  statistics system.

Examples:
=========

See the sample autotools-based gtkplay application for a simple
example of how to use these components.

For a more complex example, look at the source code for the 
helix player, available at https://player.helixcommunity.org
