// // How to parse command line arguments - Duncan Gibson 2010-10-23 // // First posted in https://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.general+v:22493 // in thread "fltk-1.x : parsing command line arguments" // // Shows how to decode additional command line arguments using Fl::args() // on top of the "standard" options used by the toolkit itself. // // Note that this only handles "option separateValue" rather than the // usual *nix idiom of "option=value", and provides no validation nor // conversion of the parameter string into ints or floats. // // Copyright 1998-2020 by Bill Spitzak and others. // // This library is free software.
