Re: [rgui-dev] API Time

[Tom Sawyer]

to give you an idea of what a yaml gui description might look like here
are two versions. the first uses a parent-child layout, the second uses
named references instead. fyi - i generated this from GUtopIa's
sample1.rb code with the to_yaml method and only needed to make two
modifications by hand: remove a repetion of the window widget (i haven't
figured that one out yet) and to show the use of named references. i
left the more "esoteric" parts in just so you could see them, e.g.
"___events___". they would likely be taken out, or at least cleaned up.


SAMPLE v1:

--- !ruby/object:GUtopIa::Window
caption: Fruity Fun Time
height: 300
body:
  -
    - !ruby/object:GUtopIa::RadioBox
      "___events___":
        change:
          - !ruby/object:Proc {}
        value=:
          - !ruby/object:Proc {}
      items:
        - None
        - Apple
        - Orange
        - Banana
      value: None
  -
    - !ruby/object:GUtopIa::Button
      "___events___":
        press:
          - !ruby/object:Proc {}
      text: Quit
width: 200
layout: !ruby/sym grid



SAMPLE v2:

--- &abutton !ruby/object:GUtopIa::Button
"___events___":
  press:
    - !ruby/object:Proc {}
text: Quit

--- &aradio !ruby/object:GUtopIa::RadioBox
"___events___":
  change:
    - !ruby/object:Proc {}
  value=:
    - !ruby/object:Proc {}
items:
  - None
  - Apple
  - Orange
  - Banana
value: None

--- !ruby/object:GUtopIa::Window
caption: Fruity Fun Time
height: 300
body:
  -
    - *aradio
  -
    - *abutton
width: 200
layout: !ruby/sym grid
