John W. Campbell
JdlView is a package for use in developing windows based programs
based on an older X-windows based toolkit
XDL_VIEW.
The JdlView classes basically fall into two categories. These are the
general purpose JdlView classes which are written without any particular
application in mind (e.g the menu area class or the I/O window
class) and those which are written with a particular application or
group of applications in mind, particularly for Protein Crystallography.
They are primarily intended to be used in programs which use the
JdlView management class which forms part of the package but they
can also be used independently of that if required to fit within
some alternative programming context. The JdlView package forms one
section of a Java Development Library (JDL).
The documentation is divided into three main parts:
- JdlView User's Guide
- JdlView Programmer's Guide
- JdlView Java Class Documentation
List of sections:
Part 1 - JdlView User's Guide
Part 2 - JdlView Programmer's Guide
Part 3 - JdlView Java Class Documentation
This is written for the person who is using a program written using
the JdlView classes. They give detailed information on how to
manipulate all the available objects. It may be noted here that applications
written using the JdlView package's own manager, JdlView objects will
often be displayed with an 'active strip' which indicates whether or not
the application program is currently ready to receive input from the
JdlView object in question. The basic structure of such programs tends
to be hierarchical with clearly defined options at each stage rather
than using a menu bar with items such as 'File', 'Edit' etc.

This is written for the person who is wishes to incorporate JdlView
classes into their own software. It gives some details of the background
and philosophy behind the package followed by more specific details on
how to use the classes, particularly within the context of the JdlView
manager which forms part of the package.

This gives a brief description of all the JdlView classes with links
to the detailed documentation of each class.
