NAME¶
resourceEditor - Resource editor used as part of the PythonCard GUI framework
SYNOPSIS¶
resourceEditor [file] [
switches]
DESCRIPTION¶
The resourceEditor is the most common starting point for constructing a
PythonCard application. Using this tool, you can create, position, size,
describe and connect not only your application's windows and all of the
components they contain (buttons, fields, and other controls), but also its
menus and supporting dialogs. A direct-manipulation interface enables you to
create, drag, and size window components in the grand tradition of Integrated
Development Environments (IDEs). The resourceEditor also incorporates a menu
editor and a background editor for managing the non-component portions of your
PythonCard application.
Scripting is not integrated into the resourceEditor. Instead, you should use
your favorite Python script editor to write the code that gives your
application its intelligence and behavior (for instance, you could use
codeEditor(1), also part of the PythonCard GUI framework).
SWITCHES¶
Note that switches must come
after any filename in order to be
recognized.
- -p
- Show property editor
- -m
- Show message watcher
- -l
- Enable logging
- -s
- Show shell
- -m
- Show namespace
- -d
- Show debug menu
NOTES¶
The resourceEditor utility also provides additional functionality that is not
discussed in this manpage, because it is somewhat difficult to completely
describe usage of a GUI program in a text-based manpage. For more detailed
usage instructions or for more information on the PythonCard GUI framework in
general, you should install the pythoncard-doc package and take a look at the
various walk-throughs, tutorials and samples included with it.
Once the pythoncard-doc package is installed, the documentation is installed to
/usr/share/doc/pythoncard-doc, and is also available via Debian's doc-base
infrastructure - find it in the Devel section using
dwww(1), doc-central(1) or
dhelp(1).
If you would rather not install the pythoncard-doc package, you can find
essentially the same information on the PythonCard website:
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net
BUGS¶
Although it is considered to be stable, this is still development-level
software.
Please report bugs in this or any PythonCard component to the Debian Bug
Tracking system using
reportbug(1).
