Petr, in the currently available code, the GTK binding can't function 
without a callback from Red/System into Red; as Doc says, to pass 
GTK events into the Red GUI dialect engine. So far I constructed 
the callback the ugly way, but there's official support now
DocKimbel:
30-Apr-2013
Actually, it's fairly simple, think about a GUI app that sends a 
click event to your Red/System binding, how do you pass the event 
to Red code if you can't call it from Red/System. ;-)

Is the Android GUI AWT?
DocKimbel:
15-May-2013
Nope, AWT is an old GUI built-in Java, so it's handy for doing simple 
GUI demo.
DocKimbel:
15-May-2013
I will do a prototype wrapping of the Android GUI API in a few days, 
so you'll be able to put your VID-like dialect on top of it. ;-)

Working in Android Studio a bit, looking into structures, what does 
it support, etc., I can't foresee, what our aproach is going to be, 
so lookinf forward to it. E.g. the IDE generates GUI definitions 
into XML files, ditto various configs, translations. So - what I 
expect is that you create basid .apk with certain featureset, and 
from that on, it will be manipulated from Red side. Justo wondering, 
if we will be able to dynamically generate UI elements, etc? Or will 
you suggest ppl to use your basic .apk, do certain work in Android 
Studio, and the supporting backend in Red? Or is your idea that ppl 
should not need to eventually touch sw like Android Studio?

DocKimbel:
16-Jun-2013
I'm not sure you're much interested in learning how to do it using 
Java objects, do you? It can be done already, but in order to implement 
proper abstraction for Red, we need at least objects support. Also, 
getting the GUI layer done is higher priority.
DocKimbel:

Actually, you got an error message sent to your logcat. :-) Once 
things will be stabilized for 4.x support, I'll redirect printing

GrahamC:
21-May-2013
so, can you make a GUI out of all this?
Kaj:
21-May-2013
There's also the other way around: most GUI toolkits such as GTK 
have an OpenGL widget, so with my multi-backend design I can make 
OpenGL backends for the widgets of those toolkits. You'd have your 
regular widgets and then the option to use part of the window for 
3D
Bo:
22-May-2013
Kaj, I ran into Carl today in Home Depot and we talked about your 
SDL binding for Red.  Do you think it would be difficult to make 
a binding for R3?  Carl was saying that he thought it wouldn't be 
too hard to convert R3-GUI to run off of OpenGL instead of the current 
foundation (was it AGG?) so it could be hardware accelerated.

Just curious.
Bo:
22-May-2013
Carl must've been talking about writing SDL into R3-GUI then.  Sometimes 
(often) he speaks above my level.
GrahamC:
22-May-2013
In contrast to libraries like Qt and wxWidgets, FLTK uses a more 
lightweight design and restricts itself to GUI functionality. Because 
of this, the library is very small (the FLTK "Hello World" program 
is around 100 KiB), and is usually statically linked. It also avoids 
complicated macros and separate code preprocessors, and does not 
use the following advanced C++ features: templates, exceptions, RTTI 
or, for FLTK 1.x, namespaces. Combined with the modest size of the 
package, this leads to a relatively short learning curve for new 
users.[citation needed]


These advantages come with corresponding disadvantages. FLTK offers 
fewer widgets than most GUI toolkits and, because of its use of non-native 
widgets, does not have native look-and-feel on any platform.
Pekr:
28-May-2013
Well, I have mixed feelings ... Carl simply gave up on Rebol and 
its message imo ... felt strange: " I'm no longer in the mode of 
convincing the world about Rebol. I've learned a lot over the last 
couple years in the trenches." ..... later .... "So, I know really 
well now that Rebol is not for every developer.... but it would get 
more interest if R3+GUI was easy to download an get running on a 
variety of those devices on your list."

Kaj:
19-Jul-2013
r3-gui.r3 is exactly as long as the MS build script for a Windows 
driver :-)
AdrianS:
19-Jul-2013
Thanks, Robert. Could you briefly describe somewhere (in just a few 
sentences) the workflow you use when working on/debugging r3-gui? 
i.e is it possible to stay in the same R3 instance and rebuild (do 
you even need to be using the monolithic r3-gui script when debugging?), 
reload the script safely, etc.
Andreas:
19-Jul-2013
So to work on / debug R3-GUI (Cyphre please correct me, if I'm wrong):

;; Load INCLUDE (once)
>>  do https://raw.github.com/saphirion/include/master/include.r


;; (Re-)load R3-GUI (multiple times; assumes you are in the R3-GUI 
toplevel directory)
>> include %loader/loader.r3
Cyphre:
19-Jul-2013
Yes, the most efficient way(in Windows) is to setup INCLUDE+R3-GUI 
loader to be executed everytime you click on *.r3 script. I'm using 
that and every change to the R3GUI sources is then automatically 
"propagated" once I run any R3GUI script again.
Ladislav:
19-Jul-2013
Yes, the strategy Cyphre describes is ideal for immediate testing 
of any changes made to R3-GUI sources.

Dont know that eally well myself. what i firued out: usually (debian, 
suse) startup-scripts are in /etc/init.d. on debian there is a /etc/init.d/skeleton 
as base for own script. then there are the runlevels in /etc/rc?d/. 
links there go to /etc/init.d/ an tell the system what to start/stop. 
the numbers in the filenames are the priority, lowest run first. 
Usually there is a gui-tool like yast or ksysv which scans /etc/init.d/ 
for scripts and makes the appropriate links. tricky things are to 
write the startup-script, to figure out which runlevel to use and 
how the os figures out what to stop. although if you dont need that 
runlevel smartness, because you call it on boot and let it be killed 
by shutdown, you can just use a normal bash-script.

my linux troubles (this is longer)


I'm pretty frustrated at this moment, maybe somebody can help me...


I'm linux newbie, I'm using it for 6 months or so. I've installed 
Ubuntu for my girlfriend and it works OK. So I decided to install 
linux for me too. I've got Athlon X64 computer, so I tried 64bit 
version of Ubuntu. But you cannot run 32bit programs under 64bit 
Linux, so no REBOL or AltMe. OK, I can live with 32bit linux, no 
problem. So I installed MEPIS. It's not bad, it has got media support 
but...it's KDE.


I never knew anything about KDE vs. Gnome vs. whatever wars, I just 
don't care, but day after day I found KDE to be bloated, slow and 
buggy. Compared to elegance of Ubuntu on my girfriend's computer 
I decided that I just don't like KDE, I don't like all that menus 
where I'm always lost, long loading times, that awful blue theme, 
childish icons and everything K-labeled. Every window and every button 
on KDE looks so BIG compared to windows GUI, it's just a waste of 
screens's space. So I tried different window managers and found Xfce, 
icebox and some other small and fast window managers. But running 
MEPIS with different window manager than KDE was not optimal so I 
decided to remove MEPIS and install xubuntu. Everything was OK and 
I had xubuntu instaled.


One day later I managed to exchange my gfx card. I was using Matrox 
Millenium 2MB PCI card and exchanged it for 3D labs Banshee 16MB 
PCI card (I know that both cards are somehow underpowered for my 
computer but that's OK, I don't play any 3d games, so I don't need 
some new card). I've booted into Windows and everything was OK. I 
can even select resolution better than 1024x768 (because that's not 
optimal resolution for 21" monitor :-) So I restarted and booted 
into xubuntu. x-server didn't start. 


As I said, I'm linux newbie so I don't want to mess with some config 
files so I said to myself OK, I reinstall it, it's just one day old 
installation, no problem. I've booted the live-cd, grub let me choose 
resolution of 1280x1024, I booted xubuntu and - it was running in 
640x480. Yes, I had the choice to change resolution - but only to 
320x240. I tried ubuntu (gnome) and it was the same. ubuntu's x-server 
probably does not support my banshee gfx card. I tried MEPIS also 
and - it worked! I can boot mepis 3.3.1 live cd in 1024x768 (but 
not more - with windows, I can go up to 1920x1440). But when I boot 
mepis, I do see that KDE desktop thing and it makes me feel sick 
(hell, even windows seem to be more fun to use than KDE for me!).


So, what now? I cannot use windows only (1. i don't like it :) 2. 
it's got problems of its own - it cannot download files bigger than 
cca 1MB without error. Probably some driver problem but I still haven't 
found a sollution. this is not problem on linux) and I don't like 
KDE. I know that there's one sollution - to buy relatively new pci-x 
n-vidia gfx card and problems may be gone. but that's not what I 
want to do. That 3dfx banshee is good enough for me, I just want 
some fast and small OS running on it.


Maybe I'm just missing a computer that can boot in 15 seconds into 
full GUI enviroment (yes, my old Amiga :)

I liked KDE when it started with version 1.0, then it started to 
look like a PlayMobil/Lego Desktop, now its upto perfect and leaves 
gnome far behind, not only based on GUI but also based on pratical 
use ;-)... But it still eats a damm lot of resources... you need 
to tune , but thats fun ;-)

Gnome vs. KDE: I gave up on KDE ages ago. It has pretty good underpinnings, 
but the philosophy of cramming every possible feature into the GUI 
just makes it a nightmare to use. I don't know about KDE4, so I won't 
say much about that.

Gnome has a much better interface, but still a far way to go. It's 
exactly the opposite of KDE. I wish the two would go together and 
create a new desktop, based on KDE's underpinnings and Gnome's GUI.

rebol.org library already have tagging for the scripts.


Both in terms of levels ["Beginner" "Intermediate" "Advanced"] as 
well as the domain ["cgi" "gui"] etc...


Perhaps there is a way to feed the cookbook examples into rebol.org 
and let the Library be the holding place for future cookbook examples.


There are '3 major' rebol sites (those with rebol in the domain). 
And they are rebol.com, rebol.net, rebol.org.

It is not incredibly clear whether certain docs should be in .org 
or .net. 


Other suggestion to consider is how can we leverage off works done 
in various sites and avoid duplication. Why not let rebol.org be 
the host for cookbooks as well?


I would think new comers will prefer to find both cookbook examples 
and other contributed scripts all in one location. Rebol.org also 
lets you search the mailing list.

fast fourier transformation. no way in current rebol (to much computations). 
On my Athlon XP 1700+ can REBOL do some 3milions computations in 
second (this is very aproximate number, some computaions are more 
time-consuming than other ). May sound like a big number, but if 
sound's sample rate is 44100Hz, there's only some 70 computations 
for each sample. And this is the ideal situation (no GUI and other 
CPU-demanding stuff). So there are two possibilities. 1) Some faster 
math, or JIT REBOL compiler  and 2) wait for faster CPU's. Let's

the better way to gauge useage is not by frequency within one script 
but by useage amongst many scripts... where useage within that script 
many times still only counts as one.  I'd use the rebol.org site 
to scan scripts from any given group and put usage from them.  Thus 
networking would score view as almost 0 where gui would place view 
as the most used word (in every script)

modify my rswf code colorizer to show included files as well)


Here is also new example how to include first of GUI elements: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/example/swf8-cliphandler

In the future I would like to create something like mini Layout dialect 
which will be used for better positioning of the new GUIs I'm working 
on.

and one more reason - to hack a default Flash gui components is for 
me much more difficult than make my own from scratch

If I can throw my two cents here. Terry is right to complain, because 
you can feel he cares, it's not destructive criticism. Pekr is saying 
he's a realist, but to me he sounds more like a dreamer (no offense).Flash 
is a Virtual Machine that lives in the browser. Rebol is a VM that 
lives on several OSes. Flash VM is present on 99% of the browsers. 
Rebol VM is not present  on browsers (plugin doesn't count because 
last time I tried it wouldn't install, and last version is more than 
a year old), and it is present on OSes of a small number of creative 
developers and hobbyists. If I had to develop a commercial app for 
the web, Flash and Flex give me extensive documentation, and a whole 
framework. Rebol can't compete with Adobe, and should not. Last week, 
I developed a GUI in Rebol and Rebgui that would have taken me four 
times longer in any other graphical toolkit, and I had a knack at 
it. But this app is for internal use. Rebol is a great language, 
and I would like to see it evolve as a computer language, not as 
a throw it all in kind of gizmo. It should go Open Source, because 
RT doesn't have the means to provide versions for all platforms. 
Where is the rebol for NetBSD? Last version is 2001. If RT hasn't 
the resources, let the developers do it. I want to run rebol on an 
internet tablet. I had wanted to run rebol on a palm (not anymore 
because Palm is deas, sort of). But the Nokia tablet run debian linux. 
There is no reason for the unabailability of rebol. It is just a 
matter of building it and packaging it. Who has the time for this? 
Plenty of people, they're just not at RT, because there people are 
busy with more important things (like developing the product).

time limits are mostly annoying, but doesn't hamper usage in that 
time. I don't think the GUI or other things should be obscured

Yes, with the DLL interface you can theoretically create native-like 
GUI system according to your needs if you have enough time/motivation 
;)
Cyphre:

If you write VID/RebGUI like dialect with binding to Windows native 
GUI why not? :)
Cyphre:
20-Jul-2006
Pekr: You can create and control any windows dialog if you have the 
API available. (and this can be applied to any other OS feature). 
So it is possible to create native GUI controlable at the higher 
level of some dialect(simmilar to VID/Rebgui). People who are making 
common apps don't need to access it at face level but ofcourse such 
system would be based on face-like objects with methods related to 
Windows GUI elements etc.
Henrik:

the same could probably be done for OSX/Cocoa... it would solve many 
issues with GUI nativity in OSX.
Cyphre:

If you really need noative GUI then this can be the way but remember 
this is also *lot* of work multiplied by each operating system ;)
Henrik:
20-Jul-2006
which is why it's probably not worth doing for anything other than 
Windows and OSX. For linux, it would be ... wow... how many different 
GUI systems do we have there? :-)
Henrik:

I agree that native GUI/feel should not be a main part of Rebol, 
but it should not be a luxury item either that you have to pay for

Let's see what a "neutered" plugin can do:
- REBOL/Services
- All of REBOL's GUI and graphics stuff.
- Access browser data (that is site-specific)
You can do a lot with that. Look at Flash.
Cyphre:
10-May-2006
Yep, understood. That's probably why the current plugin also cannot 
detect 'activate and 'deactivate events when you are focusing/unfousing 
the browser window. Do you think this could be also improved? It 
is useful for application to know when user switched to other window 
than the one with running plugin so it could manage the /View GUI 
appropriately (focusing/unfocusing fields, areas etc.)

So that's all that's needed ?

A problem with all these different module managers and include systems 
is that there is ignorance of what they actually do. When you post 
code like the above, I have no idea what it's going to do with the 
files, how they are going to be arranged on my harddisk etc., and 
what global words are going to be defined.

My old INCLUDE system and the new one I've been working on also suffer 
from this "gap of understanding".

I think the answer is a GUI option which shows in clear diagrams 
what is going on.
Anton:
5-Feb-2007
No, I mean the diagrams form part of the GUI (when a "show GUI" option 
is selected).
Anton:
5-Feb-2007
A GUI, when a hypothetical "GUI" option is chosen.

if I say that a gui manager was needed... every reboler on this list 
would complain that its too complicated and would be scared that 
the lib manager does things behind the scenes.
Maxim:
28-Feb-2007
also, the fact that symmetric piping and dependency trees can co-exist 
with such triviality makes integrating GUI within networks really 
easy so far.
Maxim:

applying this to a gui driven with liquid nodes, you could freeze 
the the whole layout on a modal window... and let your inputs continue 
to process in the background... updating animation, and reacting 
to async reads... for exacmple.


when you unfreeze the gui and call a refresh of the gui plug, all 
the data which was being processed in the background, is now automatically 
available ,as if nothing had been frozen and a simple update of the 
node, will refresh you gui with nothing to manage.
Maxim:
7-May-2007
yep... waiting for R3 ... but the core engine can work over any GUI 
cause its decoupled.
