Study those examples and take also a look at hansel's and my own's programs: multicalc, minipad, toolbox...[*] I usually check pygtk docs and programs too and then translate to lua. Though is not directly translatable it should point you in the proper direction. Note that callbacks send arguments in a different way.

Well, I can live without a manual.
Just wrote a image viewer running on iLiad in 15 lines of lua script. And the speed is quite fast. Really amazing. In fact, lgob provides operation with ATK, CAIRO, PANGO, GDK ,GTK in lua script. I guess I can turn my homebrew application written in over one thousand lines of C code to 200 lines of lua script. |

note however that some recent pango/gtk/... functions are not available on Iliad. I consult pygtk docs to find out which they are. I have just joined #iliad in irc.freenode.net if you want realtime chat ;-) Iņigo |

Iņigo,
thanx. I need some time to adapt to the way to call GTK+ function in lua. This is a image viewer written in lua. Users can open file dialog to choose a image file to open. Unpack to anywhere and execute from Contentlister. |

The official gtk docs are quite good.
The Lua api is almost identical to the C api if you replace the underscores with dots, and capitalize here and there Pay special attention where it mentions 'available since...' If its old enough, it will work on the Iliad. The Iliad versions are
Great to see your enthusiasm! Happy coding, Hansel |

Help: call to poweroff doesn't work inside lgob callback
Does anyone know why this code does not work?
Code:
btn:connect("clicked", function () win:hide() win:destroy() os.execute("/sbin/poweroff") end) I've also checked with "shutdown -t 0 now". No way to switch off the Iliad from inside a lua+lgob program. Thanks, Iņigo |

It's strange because /sbin/reboot works, and it's a link in fact. Anyway, I've found a command that can shutdown the Iliad "/sbin/shutdown.sysvinit -h -P now"! I'll study it a bit more... Thanks, Iņigo |

I have a question:
Can I access gdk_gc_new() (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/s...-Contexts.html) in lua script through lgob? I want to use some GDK drawing primitives (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/2...rimitives.html), and some functions need GdkGC parameter. Added: I figured it out. It's gdk.GC.new().

Another question:
I want to access some function, such as pango_matrix_rotate() (http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango...h-Storage.html). I have tried several times with no success. How do I know if certain function can be access through lgob, and in what form? Added: It seems the correct form is pango.Matrix.rotate(). Last edited by ericshliao; 10-31-2009 at 09:47 AM. |

What I do is grep lgob sources for the function I need. Look at the .def, .ovr, and iface.c files. Also, note that the translation from C to lua is almost always done in this way: module_widget_method => module.Widget.method so pango_matrix_rotate() => pango.Matrix.rotate() Btw, instead of using GDK drawing primitives, maybe is a better option to use Cairo, it's much powerful, easier and looks it has better documentation as well. You can find 3 or 4 examples in lgob sources too. Regards, Iņigo |

Another question:
I have a line of C code "PangoMatrix matrix = PANGO_MATRIX_INIT;" (http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango...h-Storage.html) and I want to convert it to Lua. The line will create a struct consisting 6 double variables. I tried with "p_matrix = pango.PANGO_MATRIX_INIT". Lua interpretor did accept the form, but in fact p_matrix is still "nil". How do I solve the problem? Added: There seems a convenient utility: toLua (http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~celes/tolua/). But I can't build it on my Linux desktop. Added 2: I can build toLua now, but it seems not what I want. Added 3: Problem solved. The correct form is "p_matrix = pango.Matrix.INIT". Added 4: I am wrong. "p_matrix = pango.Matrix.INIT" is not correct. Last edited by ericshliao; 10-31-2009 at 01:17 PM. |

I also wrote a function 'pr()' (included in MiniPad.tgz), which recursively prints any Lua variable. The top table in Lua is '_G'. So if you load some modules with require, and then do pr(_G), it will show you all variables (including all known modules and functions) Happy Lua! |
