The Emacs interface actually has some nice options for user interfaces as well. Here are some examples:// create a buffer: p = EmacsBuffer.new; // show the buffer: p.front; // create a key action for the buffer: p.defineKey( "hello", { "hey there".postln; } ); // type hello on the window and look at the postbuffer p.front; p.defineKey( "hey there", { "hello".postln; } ); // type hey there and look at the postbuffer p.front; // put some text in the buffer: p.insert( "this is a really interesting text to read in the buffer" ); p.front; // make a newline: p.newline; // make a button: p.button( [ "on", "off", "in between" ], { |v| v.postln; } ); p.front; // make a button with a different look: p.button( [ "on", "off", "in between" ], { |v| v.postln; }, "******", "+++++" ); p.front; // create a close button: p.closeButton; // clicking it will close the buffer! p = EmacsBuffer.new; p.editableField( "write something here", "like this?", { |v| v.postln; } ); p.front; // moving the cursor around in the buffer: p.gotoBob; // beginning p.gotoEob; // end p.goto( 5 ); // go to fifth position // making it a sclang-mode buffer to write code in: Emacs.evalLispExpression( p.use( [ 'sclang-mode' ] ).asLispString ); // close it: p.free; // p = EmacsBuffer.new; // args: name p.front; // making a number box n = EmacsNumber.new( p, "number box", [0,5].asSpec, { |v| v.postln; } ); // args: buffer, tag/label, spec, action p.front; // making a button: x = EmacsButton( p, [ "on", "off", "in between" ], { |v| v.postln; }, "******", "+++++" ); // args: buffer, states, action, prefix, suffix p.front; t = EmacsText( p, "hello", 30 ); // args: buffer, string, size, align p.front; p.newline; t = EmacsText( p, "helloooo", 30, \right ); // args: buffer, string, size, align p.newline; e = EmacsEditableField( p, "edit field", "edit me" ).action_( { |v| v.postln; } ); p.front; b = EmacsPushButton( p, "hello" ).action_( { "do it".postln; } ); p.front; // you can disable things: b.enabled_( false ); p.front;
And last but not least, it provides a class browser:EmacsClassBrowser.new( EmacsBuffer );
