GtkReactive.jl
GtkReactive
This is WIP a fork of GtkInteract, but aims to be different in the following ways:
- Rather than use Interact.jl (which is oriented towards Jupyter), this re-implements similar features natively
- It will not implement
@manipulateor any plotting; it is merely designed to be a “simplified interact to Gtk widgets”
Some of the following has been retained from GtkInteract, but may or may not (yet) be relevant.
Resource management: Signal protection and cleanup
A MainWindow has a field, refs, to which you can push! any
Reactive signals that you want to preserve for the lifetime of the
window. Upon destroying the window, these signals are closed.
Timers like fps are particularly important to “register” with
refs: otherwise, you may keep using CPU resources even after you
close the window, until the next garbage-collection event.
Example:
using GtkReactive, Reactive
frametimer = fps(10)
w = mainwindow()
push!(w.refs, frametimer)
Now if you display w, and then close the window, frametimer will
no longer be active.
