1 | Jexer - Java Text User Interface library |
| 2 | ======================================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This library is currently in design, but when finished it is intended | |
| 5 | to implement a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscient of | |
| 6 | Borland's [Turbo Vision](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision) | |
| 7 | library. For those wishing to use the actual C++ Turbo Vision | |
| 8 | library, see [Sergio Sigala's updated | |
| 9 | version](http://tvision.sourceforge.net/) that runs on many more | |
| 10 | platforms. | |

| 21 | Usage | |
| 22 | ----- | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The library is currently under initial development, usage patterns are | |
| 25 | still being worked on. Generally the goal will be to build | |
| 26 | applications somewhat as follows: | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | ```Java | |
| 29 | import jexer.*; | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | public class MyApplication extends TApplication { | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | public MyApplication() { | |
| 34 | super(); | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | // Create an editor window that has support for | |
| 37 | // copy/paste, search text, arrow keys, horizontal | |
| 38 | // and vertical scrollbar, etc. | |
| 39 | addEditor(); | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | // Create standard menus for File and Window | |
| 42 | addFileMenu(); | |
| 43 | addWindowMenu(); | |
| 44 | } | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | public static void main(String [] args) { | |
| 47 | MyApplication app = new MyApplication(); | |
| 48 | app.run(); | |
| 49 | } | |
| 50 | } | |
| 51 | ``` | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | ||
