Hi

I have been looking around for GUI/widget toolkits that I can use to
develop a standalone cross-platform desktop application for UML
diagramming.

I feel like I can use VCL - the way different LO apps use it for their
GUI.

that sounds like a really bad idea.

But I am wondering how heavy this would get for a new standalone
application?
Is there a "bare minimum" example app that builds in all of the VCL as a
starting point?

Would this "backendtest" be the answer I am looking for !?
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/backendtest

And would anyone be able to tell me which other LO components or
libraries I would need to bring into a project like this?

there is no obvious answer to this, other than "a lot more than you want
to have".

VCL is not intended to be used outside of OOo-lineage office
applications, depends on lots of things that most applications don't
need (e.g. URE), has no stable API, and features will be removed from
VCL as and when LO doesn't need them any more.

just use some toolkit that was actually designed to be reusable, like
GTK+, Qt, Tk, WxWhatsitsname, etc.
