The libspnav library is provided as a replacement of the magellan library. It
|
|
|
|
|
provides a cleaner, and more orthogonal interface. libspnav supports both the
|
|
|
|
|
original X11 protocol for communicating with the driver, and the new
|
|
|
|
|
alternative non-X protocol. Programs that choose to use the X11 protocol, are
|
|
|
|
|
automatically compatible with either the free spacenavd driver or the official
|
|
|
|
|
3dxserv, as if they were using the magellan SDK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, libspnav provides a magellan API wrapper on top of the new API. So, any
|
|
|
|
|
applications that were using the magellan library, can switch to libspnav
|
|
|
|
|
without any changes. And programmers that are familliar with the magellan API
|
|
|
|
|
can continue using it with a free library without the restrictions of the
|
|
|
|
|
official SDK.
