------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction: "X11 Designer", an easy-to-use template source code generator for creating graphical GUI by drag-and-drop operations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "X11 Designer" can be an easy way to create applications requiring only Xlib, while designing quickly and easily some basic user interfaces in a few clicks. It does not allow post-editing of already created GUI, but the code is generated so that modifications are made easy. (Object moves, caption changes, label changes...). "X11 Designer" is a "real" X11 application, as well as the applications that it's intended to create. That means that it directly accesses X Window without using some libraries such as Tk, GTk, Qt, SDL, and s.o... Therefore, it can be made independant from the desktop environment type and version (KDE, Gnome, Other...) and from the distribution, so that it can be easily compiled from any "Unix-like" OS. For details about the use of "X11 Designer", please refer to "tutorial.pdf" (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdesigner) downloadable in the same section as this package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimum required conditions: libX11-dev Make "xd_build.sh" executable and launch it. Move the compiled binary file "xdesigner" and "xtemplate.src" both to the folder "/bin" of your user directory. (Create this folder of it does not exist, and ensure that "PATH" is updated accordingly) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Examples. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Directories "demo1" and "demo2" contain demo apps that have been created thanks to X11 Designer. They can be compiled directly by launching "make" in each directory, then running the binary. They might help for a complete understanding of how your code has to be inserted into the created source code template. Have fun !
