Framework: Racket GUI Application Framework

(require framework)

The framework provides a number of mixins, classes and functions designed to help you build a complete application program on top of the racket/gui library.

• Entire Framework

  • (require framework)

    This library provides all of the definitions and syntax described in this manual.

  • (require framework/framework-sig)

    This library provides the signature definitions: framework^, and framework-class^. The framework^ signature contains all of the names of the procedures described in this manual, except those that begin with test: and gui-utils:. The framework-class^ signature contains all of the classes defined in this manual.

  • (require framework/framework-unit)

    This library provides one unit/sig: framework@. It exports the signature framework^. It imports the mred^ signature.

• Test Suite Engine

  (require framework/test)

  This library provides all of the definitions beginning with test: described in this manual.

• GUI Utilities (require framework/gui-utils)

  This libraries provides all of the definitions beginning with gui-utils: described in this manual.

• Preferences (require framework/preferences)

  This library provides a subset of the names of the framework.ss library, namely those for manipulating preference settings and is designed to be used from racket.

  The precise set of exported names is: preferences:snapshot?, preferences:restore-prefs-snapshot, preferences:get-prefs-snapshot, exn:make-unknown-preference, exn:unknown-preference?, preferences:low-level-put-preferences, preferences:get, preferences:set, preferences:add-callback, preferences:set-default, preferences:set-un/marshall, and preferences:restore-defaults.

• Splash Screen (require framework/splash)

  This library provides support for a splash screen. See framework/splash for more.

• Decorated Editor Snip (require framework/decorated-editor-snip)

  This library is here for backwards compatibility. The functionality in it has moved into the framework proper, in the Editor Snip section.
