END FUNCTION


COMPILE AS .so and name as "hug.so"

ADD the "hug.so" to the download folder.

for beta testing 0.5
COMPILE THE Axl-rada-0.5

ENSURE the folder is in the home directory : IE .. /home/<user>/axlrada

Usage

Click : for colour dialog ; pick black
Click : Axl-new ; move the new window to right
Click : new colour for the hug window if want
Click : New Hug Window , just to the left of "Axl-new" , Paint-able window is just below , reload paint-able not allowed

Window Resize double Right click at gripper 'bottom right of window' , drag with left button

Pick Colour : Add a widget

Resizing and moving : double right click , then left button to resize right button to move . to exit this mode
just single click. Exception FRAME , right double click at very top left , then can drag or resize.

Editing IMAGE , double click middle button. input box will appear at the image , enter
path to the image, will not load if not valid path.

MUST
TO ENABLE FEATURES AT BOTTOM / before compiling / toggle on and off
some results are can be seen in the terminal.
Before Compiling , Ensure Tog-run / events are disabled.

You will note there is no delete widgets in Axl-rada

will find this is not necessary , compile a window then Click on "Load Hug" , get the idea.

Tog-Run , Enabling this , then left click on the widget , also have terminal view on
There is a Known Bug when in this mode , since still can add widgets and resize , this is a timing issue . also ensure this is off before compiling or reloading a axl window.

FIX - Take your time. after right button double click , most widgets will have focus
wait till focus shows , after release or set , wait till focus disappears ,
also if other buttons are pressed when in this mode may result in the widget been deleted.
remember can compile and the reload will help.

TO UPDATE EDIT , should be working when Tog-run enabled , click on the widget , Edit will appear , type in the editor.
Press Esc , double right click on the widget , then single press to release.

TO UPDATE OSD-text , same as above Press Esc , double right click on the widget , then single press to release , after compiling this reads back as an Edit, IE it is not a actual gtk widget ,
think of it as a supper label or MARK ,

TO UPDATE ENTRY . type in the box , Press Return
TO UPDATE List . type in the box , Press Return

Note The is only one of each type. for the above.


Not Enabled

TAB NOTEBOOK, yet note how the editor is done , same to be implemented later,
CANVAS : Axl-rada is just that
Spacers:
Msg Dialog:
File Dialog:

If have existing hug gui's then should be able to load these if done in Strict. will expand on this later.

Will be posting further help Terminal commands once Axl-Rada 'beta testing has been released'. you will need this.
Although the Interface is simple in terms of layout , the sequences for the TO DO are not , if one does not Know.
+ there is no Tutorial as yet.

Since this is:beta test for bacon/hug functionality,

Not All features are enabled IE the SUB FUNCTIONS write and read back, the subs saving works in RUN mode , TEXTING of Widgets NA , but hug code is saved as demo , so can use The BaCon Gui if want.

Dear Alex,

Looking forward to it...

With kind regards,

Axl-Rada - See Attachment

Edited : Bug fix for colour mode.
SOME basics for the editor

although looks like a notebook , all are movable

use the input box at bottom of editor

"SET_GRID_WIDTH"
"SET_CODEVIEW_WIDTH"
"SET_TERMINAL_WIDTH"

This will set the both width and height
EG:
SET_GRID_WIDTH(500,600)

for the database demo

"DATABASE_DEMO"

to resize

"DEMO_SIZE"

EG;
DEMO_SIZE(600,100)

There is very little in some of the error trapping as regards adding hug windows , or coloured window

remember "axl-new" first then add the window

as regards error trapping ,can place another window to existing , there is no going back on this one,

callback functions are not enabled in this testing version , but can try if wish ? but can be confusing.


changing event code

Toggle run mode , click the widget , can view code in codeview , toggle run to off , edit the code then save , toggle back to run mode
results will be shown in the terminal.

swap around with the views to see what is happening

can do certain edits in the gridview , but very stricked ,

Note after toggling modes or editing a widget , U may have to right double click on the widget or a widget to see the result
this is a result of the methods of the call back functions been combined for testing.

again take your time ,

Have Fun

Testing event code

example

make window , place button widget

Click on Code View
Click Tog-Run
Click on Button Widget
Click Tog-run

Should see
PRINT "Button_1_Clicked"
in the Code view , can also check the terminal , may see the result of first click

add the following example code from the main download site



REM Testing BASIC compiler
PRINT "==============================="
PRINT "Test 13: Testing OPEN DIRECTORY"
PRINT "==============================="
PRINT

OPTION BASE 1

DECLARE list$[200]

OPEN "." FOR DIRECTORY AS mydir

d = 0

REPEAT
   INCR d
   GETFILE list$[d] FROM mydir
   IF ISTRUE(LEN(list$[d])) THEN
       PRINT list$[d]
   END IF
UNTIL ISFALSE(LEN(list$[d]))

CLOSE DIRECTORY mydir

SORT list$ DOWN

PRINT list$[d]

Click on Save event code,

Click on Tog-run

Click on Terminal view

Click on the Button ; results should be in the terminal

Tip ; if have compiled an example , next time when booting axl-rada
click on "Load axl" , this will bring up the last demo.

it will not load the event code , but can can copy and paste from the bacon gui

[alexfish]

Bugs;

found one major bug in the load back ; ref Edit

appear to have a parsing error when reading HUG format file,

will post an update on this , it will a patch job , so do not expect full update.

Will have to get new key-board + mouse ,

Key-board is wearing out + mouse took fright tonight and jumped into my coffee mug,
and this standby mouse is double clicking by it's self.

appears the hug_imports may be missing. from the updated download.

or possible if file was downloaded may have wrong path to hug.so

this is the adapted hug imports.bac . ensure to put only in axlrada folder.

do not put into main bacon system. it has an include for the colour function.

I am becoming a 11.04 unity hater , the desktop keeps disappearing , and the recent file options can really mess up dev work.

can only apologies for this.

I have settled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit as my development standard OS. I tried to create a 32 bit 12.10 but had so many issues I installed 12.04 LTS 32 bit in the VirtualBox which works (sorta) fine. (host additions conflicting with XP VirtualBox)

FWIW Ubuntu Touch beats Firefox OS to win best of MWC from CNET. The BaCon clan may have a new platform to run all these creations on.

Hi John ,

u got me thinking !

just gone through torrid time this morning trying repackage axl-rada , could not even

rename a folder , + every attempt to do so , the directory and the desktop vanished , Not Good

anyhow - hopefully have the package intact and new will be uploaded soon ,

I will have to double double check this one .

inside will be some pre compiled binaries , but only 32 bit , so anyone with a 32 bit system
should be able run as is.


BR

Alex

Have repackaged

inside are some pre-compiled 32-bit

axlrada
hug.so
demo64

need to place latest bacon in the folder

place folder in home directory

if system 64-bit
then will have to compile as above

can run from where it is , or run from the terminal

if a crash occurs then can see if remanant folders are there, if so can be delete

it is done this way to keep testing version off main system.

Hi all

What next for Axl-rada

the big leap
Implimenting GooCanvas ,

you will have to install libgoocanvas-dev

have done a little demo for all to try , this use the standard Hug.bac
so should find this demo easy to play around with.

the GooCanvas can display much of what Glade does

here the canvas will display a rectangle with callback + ENTRY + BUTTON with call back

INCLUDE hug.bac
Goo$="libgoocanvas.so"

IMPORT "goo_canvas_new" FROM Goo$ TYPE long
IMPORT "goo_canvas_rect_new(long,double,double,double,double,...)" FROM Goo$ TYPE long
IMPORT "goo_canvas_get_root_item(long)" FROM Goo$ TYPE long
IMPORT "goo_canvas_set_bounds(long,double,double,double,double)" FROM Goo$ TYPE void
IMPORT "goo_canvas_widget_new(long,long,double,double,double,double,...)" FROM Goo$ TYPE long

'@ set up GooCavas using HUG type format
FUNCTION GooCanvas(int hug_xsize, int hug_ysize)

LOCAL canvas ,root
canvas = goo_canvas_new()
goo_canvas_set_bounds(canvas,0,0,hug_xsize,hug_ysize)

IF HUG_WIDGET_SHOW THEN gtk_widget_show_all(canvas)

hug_widget_image(STR$(canvas)) = canvas
hug_widget_xsize(STR$(canvas)) = hug_xsize
hug_widget_ysize(STR$(canvas)) = hug_ysize
hug_widget_signal(STR$(canvas)) = 4
hug_widget_s_widget(STR$(canvas)) = canvas
hug_widget_type$(STR$(canvas)) = "canvas"

RETURN canvas
END FUNCTION

'@ this is a callback to the Canvas item rectangle
SUB rect_click()
PRINT "Rectangle Clicked"
END SUB

SUB  test_button()
PRINT "test button Clicked"
END SUB
'@ set up a normal hug window
win=WINDOW("test",300,300)

'@ add a GooCanvas Widget
Canvas1= GooCanvas(300,300)
ATTACH (win,Canvas1,10,10)

'@ get the Root of the GooCanvas
Root_Canvas1= goo_canvas_get_root_item(Canvas1)

'@ Add a rectangle , most of this is same format as Svg types , Reason uses Cairo libs etc
rect_item = goo_canvas_rect_new (Root_Canvas1, 5, 5, 50, 50, "line-width", 2.0,"radius-x", 6.0, "radius-y", 6.0,"stroke-color", "gray","fill-color", "red",0)
'@ set a callback to the canvas item
g_signal_connect_data(rect_item, "button-press-event", rect_click, 0, 0, 0)

'@ make a hug entry
entry=ENTRY("test-me with bacon",100,30)
'@ add the ENTRY widget to the canvas
canvas_entry=goo_canvas_widget_new(Root_Canvas1,entry,100,100,-1,-1,0,0)

but1=BUTTON("test this hug BUTTON",100,30)
canvas_but=goo_canvas_widget_new(Root_Canvas1,but1,100,150,-1,-1,0,0)
CALLBACK(but1, test_button)

DISPLAY


this type of canvas could make for easy gaming?

Have Fun + BR
