| | 10 | XRCed was developed using Python 2.1.1. xml.dom.minidom module should be |
| | 11 | available. XML support requires Expat package (http://expat.sourceforge.net), |
| | 12 | and you have to uncomment expat lines in Modules/Setup file of Python source: |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | EXPAT_DIR=$(HOME)/expat |
| | 15 | pyexpat pyexpat.c -I$(EXPAT_DIR)/xmlparse -L$(EXPAT_DIR) -lexpat |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | wxPython version used was 2.3.1, which itself uses wxGTK 2.3.1. wxPython |
| | 18 | should be modified to support some extra functions. To update it, go to |
| | 19 | wxPython source directory and untar "wxPython-update.tgz" (included with |
| | 20 | xrced) file there. Then recompile (run "b 21" for example) it and install as |
| | 21 | usual (or you can set your environment to use it from the source tree). |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | Short manual |
| | 25 | ------------ |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | To start xrced, change to the directory where you installed it and run |
| | 28 | "python2.1 xrced.py". |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | To create an object, first you should select some object in the tree (or the |
| | 31 | root item if it's empty) then press the right mouse button and select right |
| | 32 | (in another sense now :) ) command. The pulldown menu is context-dependent on |
| | 33 | the selected object. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | XRCed tries to guess if new object should be added as a next sibling or a |
| | 36 | child of current object, depending on the possibility of the object to have |
| | 37 | child objects and expanded state (if tree item is collapsed, new object will |
| | 38 | be sibling). You can change this behavior to create siblings by pressing and |
| | 39 | holding the Control key before clicking the mouse. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | Same applies for copy/paste, but at the moment Control key is ignored. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | Panel on the right contains object properties. Properties which are optional |
| | 44 | should be "checked" first. XMLID of the object is the textbox to the right of |
| | 45 | the class name. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | All properties can be edited as text, and some are supplied with special |
| | 48 | editing controls. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | To display the preview window double-click a top-level object (you should |
| | 51 | assign an XMLID to it first). After that, if you select a child object, it |
| | 52 | becomes highlighted, and if you change it, preview is updated when you select |
| | 53 | another item or press Ctrl-R (refresh). To turn off automatic update, toggle |
| | 54 | "View->Auto-refresh" or toolbar auto-refresh button (to the right of refresh |
| | 55 | button). |
