Samsung's Tizen, is Linux with Wayland, Enlightenment and OpenGL ES 2.0

Tizen: Samsung Smart TV's, Gear (watch) and phones Z1 and Z3 (due out soon).

Looking at NEWT's C source code, at this stage it only appears to support X11 on Linux.

I've started reading the Nifty GUI manual.  I hadn't heard of andor3d-ui.  LibGDX is cross platform and looks well documented.

Tizen's documentation recommends using the Enlightenment C api, and to not access the underlying Wayland compositor directly.

I don't want my applications to be tied into the Tizen / Enlightenment platform, I'm looking for a cross platform well established window toolkit I can layer on top, but also be a good citizen and interact correctly with the device.

The 3D capability is required to view and annotate 3d models developed from CAD.

First impressions is a subset of the Tizen C api needs to be generated, then used as a back end for one of the UI tool kits?

Any thoughts on the amount of work required to port each toolkit and pro's and con's of each?  Also any references to docs on API back ends would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.
