Installation

Awaiting CPAN entry

This system is not yet of a standard suitable for CPAN Entry. Once it is, you will be able to install from there, until then the GUIDeFATE modules are to be manually inserted.

Requirements

Using Wx (The current focus) requires installation of

1. Wx Perl Modules sudo cpanm Wx
2. Wx::Perl::Imagick This is Jouke's Drop in replacement for Wx::Image (I couldn't get WxImage to work...some help would be useful). In my setup, this module fails with an error. This appears to be because the path in the MakeFile.PL uses backslashes (as in Windows) rather than forward slashes. Linux users may download the tarball and extract the files and edit the MakeFile.PL to use forward-slashes rather than back-slashes. Would be nice if this could be installed directly using cpanm on Linux.

The Files

GuideFATE.pm -

1. Converts the Textual Data extracting parameteres required to create the objects, making up ID numbers, key values to reference the object and any function to be called on interaction.
2. Creates the window and inserts a soon to be created frame object
3. Assists development by printing to console any widgets found, their id for the toolkit, the key for the reference as part of the "frame" object exported by GFrame, and function to be called. (4. Optionally autogenerate script for subroutines for the interface)

GFrame.pm-

1. Creates a frame object to be inserted into the window and exported to the calling application code.
2. Assembles the frame contents from a list of widgets parameters inserted into object by GUIDeFATE::convert
