NAME

       resourceEditor - Resource editor used as part of the PythonCard GUI framework

SYNOPSIS

       resourceEditor [file] [switches]

DESCRIPTION

       The  resourceEditor is the most common starting point for constructing a PythonCard application. Using this tool, you can create, position,
       size, describe and connect not only your application's windows and all of the components they contain  (buttons,  fields,  and  other  con-
       trols),	but also its menus and supporting dialogs. A direct-manipulation interface enables you to create, drag, and size window components
       in the grand tradition of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). The resourceEditor also incorporates a menu editor and  a	background
       editor for managing the non-component portions of your PythonCard application.

       Scripting  is  not  integrated  into the resourceEditor.  Instead, you should use your favorite Python script editor to write the code that
       gives your application its intelligence and behavior (for instance, you could use codeEditor(1), also part of  the  PythonCard  GUI  frame-
       work).

SWITCHES

       Note that switches must come after any filename in order to be recognized.

       -p     Show property editor

       -m     Show message watcher

       -l     Enable logging

       -s     Show shell

       -m     Show namespace

       -d     Show debug menu

NOTES

       The  resourceEditor  utility also provides additional functionality that is not discussed in this manpage, because it is somewhat difficult
       to completely describe usage of a GUI program in a text-based manpage.  For more detailed usage instructions or for more information on the
       PythonCard  GUI framework in general, you should install the pythoncard-doc package and take a look at the various walk-throughs, tutorials
       and samples included with it.

       Once the pythoncard-doc package is installed, the documentation is installed to /usr/share/doc/pythoncard-doc, and is  also  available  via
       Debian's doc-base infrastructure - find it in the Devel section using dwww(1), doc-central(1) or dhelp(1).

       If you would rather not install the pythoncard-doc package, you can find essentially the same information on the PythonCard website:

       http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net

BUGS

       Although it is considered to be stable, this is still development-level software.

       Please report bugs in this or any PythonCard component to the Debian Bug Tracking system using reportbug(1).
