Update of /cvsroot/wxlua/wxLua/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs9.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv19284/wxLua/docs Modified Files: changelog.txt wxlua.html wxluaref.html Added Files: FAQ.html Log Message: Add back the wxTreeCtrl into the stack dialog, on left of listctrl so you get both for easier navigation. Added functions to the wxlua.XXX table to get info about the status of wxLua Use qsort and bsearch to find the class methods ~ %25 faster Make wxLuaDebugData not always create it's ref data so it can !Ok() Index: wxluaref.html =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/wxlua/wxLua/docs/wxluaref.html,v retrieving revision 1.23 retrieving revision 1.24 diff -C2 -d -r1.23 -r1.24 *** wxluaref.html 14 Jun 2007 01:23:09 -0000 1.23 --- wxluaref.html 16 Jun 2007 06:21:43 -0000 1.24 *************** *** 1976,1980 **** <br> int Append(const <a href="#wxString">wxString</a>& item)<br> !

See <a href="http://www.lua.org/about.html">http://www.lua.org/about.html</a></li></ul><ol><li><h4><a name="Whats_best_for_my_needs:_wxLua"></a>What's best for my needs: wxLua, wxPython, wxSomethingElse?</h4></li><ol> <ol> </ol></ol><ul><li>It depends: wxPython has a much larger footprint and greater overhead than wxLua, but it does provide more add-ons from the Python standard library.</li><li>On the other hand, wxLua is as large as the wxWidgets library + ~100Kb for Lua + ~500Kb for the wxLua library.</li><li>wxLua can be easily interfaced with C++ code making it a powerful extension language, which is exactly the intent of its designers.</li><li>In conclusion, if you want to write an entire application in a scripting language and you need things supported by Python which are not present in wxLua out-of-the-box, then you should use wxPython. Instead, if you want to write applications with little overhead or extend your C++ applications, go for wxLua.</li></ul><li><h4><a name="Can_I_use_wxLua_as_script_interpreter"></a>Can I use wxLua as script interpreter embedded in my own C++ applications?</h4></li><ul><li>Yes! That's explained on the wxLua homepage. </li><li>This is one of the strong points of wxLua: it can be a lightweight, fast interpreter to extend your application and let the user customize it... </li><li>You may create as many wxLua interpreters in a single program as you like.</li> </ul></ol><li><h3><a name="Programming_in_wxLua"></a>Programming in wxLua</h3></li><ol><li><h4><a name="wxStrings"></a>wxStrings?</h4></li><ul><li>wxLua uses Lua strings and so all functions that take or return a wxString take or return a Lua string.</li><li>However, you can also use a wxString is you really want.</li></ul><li><h4><a name="wxArrayString_and_wxSortedArrayString"></a>wxArrayString and wxSortedArrayString?</h4></li><ul><li>All functions that take a wxArrayString or wxSortedArrayString can also take a numerically indexed table of strings.</li><li>Functions that return wxArrayStrings or wxSortedArrayStrings will return a wxArrayString or wxSortedArrayString unless specified otherwise in wxluaref.html</li></ul><li><h4><a name="wxArrayInt"></a>wxArrayInt?</h4></li><ul><li>All functions that take a wxArrayInt can also take a numerically indexed table of numbers.</li><li>Functions that return wxArrayInts will return a wxArrayInt unless specified otherwise in wxluaref.html.</li></ul><li><h4><a name="When_and_how_should_you_delete_objects"></a>When and how should you delete objects?</h4></li><ul><li>You should read the section "C++ Classes CLASS_NAME" in the "Programming in wxLua" in the wxlua.html manual.</li><li>In short, all objects that you create that deal with graphics should be deleted as soon as they're no longer used. Functions that take a "const wxPen& pen" or any wxObject derived class that is passed to a function that is const and not a pointer* will make a refed copy of them and so you may delete them.</li><li>Use the wxLua added function delete() to delete them.</li><li>Use the function "table = wxlua.GetTrackedUserdata()" to get a table of items that are tracked and occasionally print them out while developing a program. </li></ul></ol><ol><ol> </ol></ol><ul> </ul> </ol></body></html> Index: changelog.txt =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/wxlua/wxLua/docs/changelog.txt,v retrieving revision 1.36 retrieving revision 1.37 diff -C2 -d -r1.36 -r1.37 *** changelog.txt 14 Jun 2007 01:23:09 -0000 1.36 --- changelog.txt 16 Jun 2007 06:21:43 -0000 1.37 *************** *** 100,103 **** --- 100,112 ---- - Fix mismatches between the bindings base classes and what they really are. + - Add back the treectrl to the Stack Dialog so you get a tree on the left + and the list on the right. + - Added functions to get the items that wxLua tracks (userdata) to know + if you need to garbage collect things + - Use qsort and bsearch to find the class member functions to run. + Combined with using integer items in lua's registry ~ %25 faster. + - Make wxLuaDebugData a real wxObject refed class that can !Ok(), before + it always created it's ref data even if it wasn't used. + version 2.8.0.0 (released 24/12/2006) -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
