fltk4lua -- Lua Binding to the Fast Light Tool Kit

FLTK is a small C++ GUI toolkit portable to the MS Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX operating systems. fltk4lua is a binding to this C++ toolkit, which allows you to create GUIs from within Lua scripts.

fltk4lua is available via the LuaRocks package manager. For details about building/installing the module see here.

Although FLTK is a small GUI toolkit, it still has many classes and functions. fltk4lua currently exports more than 50 different userdata types and hundreds of C++ functions. Fortunately the Lua API is very close to the C++ API, so you can use the official FLTK documentation, and look at the Lua examples in the repository, or at the source code. There is also a Getting Started Guide, which builds a simple GUI with fltk4lua and explains every step.

However, here is a list of userdata types/functions/properties that are available in Lua. The format of the listing (especially the function prototypes) is specified here.
