Display application window on PiTFT

[mjbennetts]

Hi,

I have successfully setup my PiTFT and run through the examples (e.g. the mplay video example), but now I want to get hacking.
How can I launch applications and have them display on the PiTFT from the command line without starting a full X window manager (e.g startx)?
Also, is there any sample code (e.g. Python, C/C++, Java, etc) showing how to create application that can take full advantage of the PiTFT and it's touch features?

Regards,
Matt

If a program can run without needing X, it should have a command line option that lets you tell it what framebuffer to use. Feed that "/dev/fb1".

Also, is there any sample code (e.g. Python, C/C++, Java, etc) showing how to create application that can take full advantage of the PiTFT and it's touch features?
