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

21Usage
22-----
23
24The library is currently under initial development, usage patterns are
25still being worked on. Generally the goal will be to build
26applications somewhat as follows:
27
28```Java
29import jexer.*;
30
31public class MyApplication extends TApplication {
32
33 public MyApplication() {
fca67db0 34 super();
7d4115a5 35
fca67db0
KL
36 // Create an editor window that has support for
37 // copy/paste, search text, arrow keys, horizontal
38 // and vertical scrollbar, etc.
39 addEditor();
7d4115a5 40
fca67db0
KL
41 // Create standard menus for File and Window
42 addFileMenu();
43 addWindowMenu();
7d4115a5
KL
44 }
45
46 public static void main(String [] args) {
fca67db0
KL
47 MyApplication app = new MyApplication();
48 app.run();
7d4115a5

49 }
50}
