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).
