NAME

       gs - The Graphics System for Erlang.

DESCRIPTION

   Warning:
       GS is not recommended for use in new applications. Instead we recommend WX for applications that need a graphical user interface.

       GS  is  not  maintained	and  we plan to deprecate and remove it from the distribution as soon as possible, maybe already in the next major
       release (R15).

       The Graphics System, GS, is easy to learn and designed to be portable to many different platforms.

       In the description below, the type gsobj() denotes a reference to a graphical object created with GS. Such  a  reference  is  either  a	GS
       object  identifier or the name of the object (an atom), if such a name exists. The functions all return the specified values or {error,Rea-
       son} if an error occurs.

       Please refer to the GS User's Guide for a description of the different object types and possible options.

EXPORTS

       config(GSObj, Options) -> ok

	      Types  GSOBj = gsobj()
		     Options = [Option] | Option
		     Option = {Key,Value}

	      Configures a graphical object according to the specified options.

       create(ObjType, Parent) -> ObjId
       create(ObjType, Parent, Options) -> ObjId
       create(ObjType, Name, Parent, Options) -> ObjId

	      Types  ObjType = atom()
		     Parent = gsobj()
		     Name = atom()
		     Options = [Option] | Option
		     Option = {Key,Value}

	      Creates a new graphical object of the specified type as a child to the specified parent object. The object is  configured  according
	      to the options and its identifier is returned. If no options are provided, default option values are used.

	      If  a  name  is  provided,  this name can be used to reference the object instead of the object identifier. The name is local to the
	      process which creates the object.

	      The following object types exist: window | button | radiobutton | checkbutton | label | frame | entry | listbox |  canvas  |  arc  |
	      image | line | oval | polygon | rectangle | text | menubar | menubutton | menu | menuitem | grid | gridline | editor | scale

       create_tree(Parent, Tree) -> ok

	      Types  Parent = gsobj()
		     Tree = [Object]
		     Object = {ObjType,Options} | {ObjType,Options,Tree} | {ObjType,Name,Options,Tree}

	      Creates a hierarchy of graphical objects.

       destroy(GSObj) -> void()

	      Types  GSObj = gsobj()

	      Destroys a graphical object and all its children.

       ObjType(Parent)
       ObjType(Parent, Options)
       ObjType(Name, Parent, Options)

	      These functions are shorthand equivalents of create/2 , create/3 , and create/4 , respectively.

       read(GSObj, Key) -> Value

	      Types  GSObj = gsobj()
		     Key = atom()
		     Value = term()

	      Returns the value of an option key for the specified graphical object.

       start() -> ObjId

	      Starts GS, unless it is already started, and returns its object identifier.

       stop() -> void()

	      Stops  GS  and  closes  all windows. This function is not the opposite of start/0 as it will cause all applications to lose their GS
	      objects.
