GTK_DSL

A DSL for building simple GUI nim application. Based on gtk.

From now, only Button, Label, DrawingArea, V/HBox

Principes

window

A window is created, by apply a command to a string ... the string become the title of the window:

include gtk_dsl
"title of window".gtk_app(200,230):  # 200,300 : minimum width/heigth of the window
  ....descibe the containt of the window

stack

stack put widget in vertically order :

"title of window".gtk_app(200,230):  # 200,300 : minimum width/heigth of the window
  stack:
      label "A "
      label "B "

this create 2 labels , each one share the verticale space when the windo is resizable (by mouse action)

flow

Flow put widget horizontally :

"title of window".gtk_app(200,230):
  flow:
      label "A "
      label "B "

*i commands

Using *i commande, the widget use only necessary space for his display.

"title of window".gtk_app(200,230):
  stack:
      labeli "A "
      label "B "

This create a label "A', and fill the bottom window with the label B. resizing the window, 'A' keep his space, 'B' expand to all space disponible.

Other example: a text pannel with two button bottom :

"title of window".gtk_app(200,230):
  stack:
      label "A "
      flowi:
        button("A")
        button("B")

A label take all space, a line of buttons is keeping at button.
