Every window in Athena is a Wx::Frame. This inserts a method into that namespace which serves as a choke point for writing messages to the status bar. The two purposes served are (1) to apply some color to the text in the status bar and (2) to log all such messages. The neat thing about doing it this way is that each window will write to its own status bar yet all messages get captured to a common log.
$wxframe->status($text, $type);where the optional $type is one of "normal", "error", or "wait", each of which corresponds to a different text style in both the status bar and the log buffer. $type of "nobuffer" will display the status message, but not push it into the buffer.
According to the wxWidgets documentation, "Please note that wxCheckListBox uses client data in its implementation, and therefore this is not available to the application." This appears either not to be true on Linux or, perhaps, that the client data is overwritable with no ill effect. On Windows, however, attempting to set client data crashes the application.
On the wxperl-users mailing list Mattia Barbon said: "It's a wxWidgets limitation: it uses the same Win32 client data slot in wxListBox to store client data, in wxCheckListBox to store the boolean state of the item."
Sigh....
These methods are an attempt to replicate the effect of client data by maintaining a list of pointers to data that is indexed to the CheckListBox. This list is stored in the underlying hash of the CheckListBox object. The trick is to keep the list in sync with the displayed content of the CheckListBox at all times.
Yes, this *is* much to complicated.
Demeter::UI::Athena - XAS data processing
This documentation refers to Demeter version 0.9.26.
This short program launches Athena:
use Wx;
use Demeter::UI::Athena;
Wx::InitAllImageHandlers();
my $window = Demeter::UI::Athena->new;
$window -> MainLoop;Athena is a program for XAS data processing and analysis of XANES data.
See the Athena Users' Guide.
Many aspects of Athena and its UI are configurable using the configuration tool built into Athena.
This is a Wx application. Demeter's dependencies are in the Build.PL file.
Please report problems to the Ifeffit Mailing List (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit/)
Patches are welcome.
