Subject: [fxruby-users] more functionality in FXGLViewer
Message-ID: <AANLkTik9pZSF110-LZfd1BEu8lCtdXmu3ecybZ5hNBoe@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I've made a program called Discretizer. When I read stl files it is parsed
with ruby and then opengl commands are also made in ruby. This seems to
require a lot of computing resources.

It would have been nice if a FXGLObject could be created with, for instance
a stl filename. Then the whole reading of the file and opengl-commands would
run in compiled c++ code I assume.

Is it possible to do this? May I help?

I would also be nice to read the OpenFOAM polyMesh in the same way :-)

Did anyone understand the question?

Bj?rn Bergqvist

Did you check your hard drive?

When you install ruby, there should be many fxruby examples included.  I
found them on my system at:

C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\fxruby-1.6.16-x86-mswin32-60\examples

Cheers!

Thanks Ralph,

Now this brings up another question for me since I tested bounce.rb
from a simply MEPIS live cd. I will have to install FOX16. Does anyone
know if there is a debian release for it? I prefer to use a *.deb
install as I am not so profishant at installing from source yet.

Justan aside on the topic of the Deb file.

I wish to thank the Author as it has made the use of fox & foxGUIb much easier to use in Linux (I use Kubuntu 10.04 at present).

Thanks for that link Dave.

Back to discussion of the fox samples, I noticed that bounce.rb has a
few bugs or should I say is incomplete. My group has a discussion
board about this:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=353519958592

Hope to see you all there.

Just a quick question Jeff,
Is squeeze a stable release?
If I look for it under lenny, what category might I find it?
And thanks for that link Jeff.

I am attempting to run

   ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\fxruby-1.6.12-mswin32\examples\raabrowser.rb

But I am getting some sort of xml error.

Tkis file is undocumented in the readme but I was hoping to (maybe) use it as the basis of my application.

I am clueless what RAA means in this context.   Wikipedia search finds
    * Ralph Appelbaum Associates
    * Recreation and Amusement Association, a system of brothels set up by the Japanese government for US occupation forces
    * Recreational Aviation Australia
    * Reductio ad absurdum
    * Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system
    * Riksantikvarie?mbetet (National Heritage Board of Sweden)
    * Right atrial appendage
    * Royal Australian Artillery, a corps in the Australian Army
    * Royal Automobile Association
    * Ruby Application Archive
    * The Rural Alberta Advantage, a Canadian indie band
    * Rural Assistance Authority (New South Wales)
but I'm pretty sure it is none of those.  :-)


So ... anyone know how to get raabrowser.rb to work and what it's supposed to do?

<snip>

It's the Ruby Application Archive (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/).

The RAA web site provides, or used to provide, a SOAP
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP) interface. The raabrowser.rb
example program uses this SOAP interface to query the RAA for
information about the packages therein, and then presents the results
in an FXTreeList.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

I am getting frustrated with the lack of documentation with respect to FXRuby.

Even the FOX documentation seems to be lacking.

So, for instance, in http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api/classes/Fox/FXTable.html we see:
  setColumnWidth(column, columnWidth)

What unit is columnWidth in?  I presume pixels ... sigh.

Is there better documentation anywhere else?

I think you can safely assume that the units of measurement for most
things onscreen are pixels.

> Is there better documentation anywhere else?

There's not a lot of documentation, but this page at the FXRuby site
offers a few leads:

    http://www.fxruby.org/documentation.html

Specifically, there's a book, some tutorials, and a community Wiki site.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

I don't believe there is a "generic" way. However something like this should
work:

#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require 'fox16'
include Fox

class ExampleApp < FXMainWindow

  def initialize(app)
    super(app, "Example Application", :opts => DECOR_ALL, :width => 800,
      :height => 600)

    @registry = app.reg()
    @split = []

    @split[0] = @registry.readIntEntry("splitter", "split0", 124)
    @split[1] = @registry.readIntEntry("splitter", "split1", 674)
  end

  def create
    draw_gui

    super
    show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
  end

  def draw_gui
    split = FXSplitter.new(self, LAYOUT_FILL | SPLITTER_NORMAL |
      SPLITTER_TRACKING)

    b1 = FXButton.new(split, "Button 1", :opts => BUTTON_NORMAL |
LAYOUT_FILL)
    b2 = FXButton.new(split, "Button 2", :opts => BUTTON_NORMAL |
LAYOUT_FILL)

    split.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do
      @registry.writeIntEntry("splitter", "split0", split.getSplit(0))
      @registry.writeIntEntry("splitter", "split1", split.getSplit(0))
    end

    @split.each_index do |i|
      split.setSplit(i, @split[i])
    end
  end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  app = FXApp.new("example", "example")
  app.init(ARGV)

  win = ExampleApp.new(app)
  app.create
  app.run
end

I bought the electronic version of your book, Lyle, and I quote from it:

  Online Documentation
  Despite rumors to the contrary, there is actually a good deal of online
  documentation for both FOX and FXRuby, if you know where to look
  for it.

So ... which is it: "There's not a lot of documentation" or there is a good deal of online documentation?

Lyle, you wrote a great book (Yes he did, Folks!)... but even offhand comments like the one I quoted from your book, above, can cause people to make assumptions and investments that they might not otherwise make.

Not that I'm aware of. This is sort of the "official" list, although
you'll occasionally see FXRuby questions pop up on the foxgui-users
and ruby-talk mailing lists (as well as other random programming
forums).

My two cents (if it matters):

  The documentation for Fox and FXRuby may not be 100% the best, however I
have found very few things that I was not able to figure out from the
documentation alone. The FXRuby rdoc is very helpful, and the Fox
documentation is very helpful as well. Occasionally I've had to hunt through
the Fox source code to figure something out, or write a quick little test
"app", but that's only happened but a handful of times out of many different
things I've done with FXRuby. And when you compare the documentation of
FXRuby to other libraries documentation, you can hardly say it's not
documented well enough.

  Ralph,
    What exactly is the problem? What do you feel is lacking in the
documentation? (Saying the documentation sucks doesn't help anyone correct
the problem, you have to be a little more specific.) And of course, what
exactly is it that you need help with? I can assure you that if you have a
question and someone on this list knows the answer they will most likely be
happy to help you. :)

A serious shortcoming of FOX and FXRuby is the lack of a widget that
can display HTML or rich text. The FXText widget is definitely not that
kind of widget, although it provides some minimal support for ?styled?
text.

Does such a widget exist yet?  I did a Google search and the last time I could find the question asked and answered was in August of '09.

Hi Lyle and other friends

I am working on at91sam9263 single board Arm9, 200Mhz gadgets, with 64M Ram
and 256M Nand flash . At one time I was  creating prototypes in fxruby for
the said board. Things were going quite well, and I was trying to convince
the managent to stick to fox lib and ruby, when they moved into the
direction of Qt-embedded-linux-opensouce 4.5.2 ,which works without X
windows, but on the  frame buffer device.

Presently all coding is on Qt + C++, which I find terribly boring as well
requiring too much man hours and man power.

May I know if there is any chance to work on getting fxruby on a /dev/fb0 ?
I beleive there are lots of prospective markets where one can employ the
ease and flexibilty and joy of coding in Ruby and fox ,if we could embark on
a project to get foxlib to work on framebuffer device.

Warm regards

Nataraj S Narayan

I have no clue what would be involved in this, but you might want to
cross-post your request to the FOX users mailing list, since that's
where the bulk of the porting work would need to happen. FXRuby is,
after all, just a Ruby compatibility layer on top of FOX (i.e. there's
nothing X-specific in FXRuby's code base).

Good luck!

I am running the above sample and there are 3 panels (and, thus, two, uh, sliders).

The left hand slider behaves the way I want.  That is, when I move it left or right, the right hand slider does not move.

The right hand slider does not do that.   When I move it ... it moves the left hand slider.

How do I make the right hand slider behave like the left hand slider?

On a slightly different note, what is the difference between a .rb extension and a .rbw extension?

Regular .rb file runs with console, .rbw - without. It's the
equivalent of running "ruby script.rb" and "rubyw script.rb" (at least
on Windows).

Basically, you want your apps to be .rb if you have any debug printing
stuff in them and .rbw once they're finished.

I have a collection of widgets inside a panel.

Later, the user clicks on a menu item and I want the widgets to reappear so I do a show on each widget.  Nothing happens.

It I minimize the application window and the restore the window, the widgets magically appear.

What am I missing?

Try calling setText("new value", true) on the FXTextField instead of assigning to the "text" attribute. That should cause it to notify the text field's target of the SEL_CHANGED event.

Lyle,

Thank you for your attempt, Lyle.

As far as I can tell, the setText does, indeed, set the text but does not signal SEL_CHANGED.

Where can I find the source to FXRuby? I don't want to build ... I just want the source because I could not find any documentation that shows that setText takes two parameters.

As far as source goes, under linux you can find it under:

Ah, you're right. It actually sends SEL_COMMAND for that case. I was
thinking of the multiline FXText widget, which *does* send SEL_CHANGED
in that circumstance. I don't know why Jeroen (FOX's author) made
those two inconsistent.

If I read the code correctly, it looks like FXTextField sends
SEL_CHANGED as the user makes individual changes to the text (e.g.
typing in new characters, deleting text), so that's the difference.

The source code repository is here:

    http://github.com/lylejohnson/fxruby/tree/1.6

and the source (actually, the SWIG interface file from which the
source code is generated) for FXTextField is here:

    http://github.com/lylejohnson/fxruby/blob/1.6/swig-interfaces/FXTextField.i

There, you will see that the setText() method is declared as:

    /// Set the text for this label
    void setText(const FXString& text,FXbool notify=FALSE);

The second argument ("notify") is false by default, which is to say
that if you just call:

    textfield.setText("new text")

it won't send a SEL_COMMAND message to the FXTextField's target. Now,
what you might also want to see (for additional insight) is the FOX
source code to which this links. You can download the source code for
FOX 1.6 here:

    http://www.fox-toolkit.org/download.html

and if you look at FXTextField.cpp, you'll find this definition of the function:

    // Change the text and move cursor to end
    void FXTextField::setText(const FXString& text,FXbool notify){
      killSelection();
      if(contents!=text){
        contents=text;
        anchor=contents.length();
        cursor=contents.length();
        if(xid) layout();
        if(notify &&
target){target->tryHandle(this,FXSEL(SEL_COMMAND,message),(void*)contents.text());}
        }
      }

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Lyle,

Thank you for your in-depth help, Lyle.

That was the correct answer.  My code now works with the setText.

- - - - -

So ... continuing ...

I have in my code ...

    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_CHANGED) do |sender, sel, data|
      v_model.filename = sender.text.strip
    end
    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do |sender, sel, data|
      v_model.filename = sender.text.strip
    end

which seems to work fine.

The following does not seem to work worth a damn ...

    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_CHANGED|SEL_COMMAND) do |sender, sel, data|
      v_model.filename = sender.text.strip
    end

Is there a way to do what I want which is to have a single connect do two, uh, connections?

Ralph

There's no way to have a single call to connect() do what you want;
each call to connect() wires up exactly one message handler.

So you have at least a couple of options here. Because the block's
body (the stuff between "do" and "end") is so short anyways, I'd
probably just write out the two statements and call it a day. But if
it were something more involved, I'd probably pull it out into a
separate method, e.g.

    def update_model_filename(sender, sel, data)
      v_model.filename = sender.text.strip
      # ... possibly a lot more code that we don't want to duplicate ...
    end

and then call that from the connect() statements' blocks, i.e.

    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_CHANGED) do |sender, sel, data|
      update_model_filename(sender, sel, data)
    end
    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_CHANGED) do |sender, sel, data|
      update_model_filename(sender, sel, data)
    end

Along these lines, there's a two-argument form of connect(), where you
pass in some "callable" object as the second argument. So we could
more compactly write those two connect() statements as:

    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_CHANGED, method(:update_model_filename))
    @v_file_FXTextField.connect(SEL_COMMAND, method(:update_model_filename))

Here, the "method()" method (part of the Ruby core) takes a symbol as
its input and returns a Method object.

Hope this helps,

Lyle
