Running the Test Programs

The test programs are located in the tests subdirectory. Many of these are the FXPy equivalents of the original FOX test programs and should give an idea of how FXPy applications are constructed. For example, to try the window.py test program, just type:

    python window.py

If you're running Python 2.0 or later you can instead run the demo browser program (demo.py) to get a menu of the available test programs as well as some description of their purpose.

Screenshots of two of my personal favorites are shown below. Note that these were for FXPy running under Windows, but they should look very similar running under X windows on Unix platforms.

I've seen various versions of this one (neko.py) for X-windows and Microsoft
Windows; even one version as a Java applet. I always loved that little cat
and so I knew that eventually I'd have to port this one to FOX!

The glviewer example program (glviewer.py) demonstrates most of the elements of a full-blown application: a menu
bar with pulldown menus, tool bar, multiple document interface (MDI) area, and OpenGL viewers. For another
fairly complete application, see the text editor (textedit.py) example.
