Hi to all Reviewers and readers. Sorry for the long hiatus in
preparing the draft of the new BoxSizer Tutorial wiki page (s).
The first 4 pages are ready for testing and general review. The main
page is:
[BoxSizerFromTheGroundUp](http://wiki.wxpython.org/BoxSizerFromTheGroundUp)
I am starting a new thread specifically for the purpose of
communication during the review of the wiki pages. Please reply to
this post in that thread: It is titled:
BoxSizerFromTheGroundUp wiki page development
The first post will be the contents of this post.
Development Status:
The first 4 pages are ready for testing and general review. The
first page is rather long, but I haven’t figured out how to break it
up and still show complete demos. It’s no wonder that so many people
have difficulty with with it being as complicated as it is.
The 5th page is half finished at this point. Writing is going
quickly to my own amazement. I anticipate only one more page unless
I’ve overlooked some important feature that I’m not aware.
All corrections and suggestions are welcome. ** Please be
constructive with your comments.** Keep in mind that much of the
“official” BoxSizer documentation (not tutorials) seems to be
haphazardly thrown together as afterthoughts. So, I’ve had to make
guesses about some specific parameters.
I have to say that there needs to be a wiki page on constructing
wiki pages ! The documentation that is there is OK, but
there’s no guide concerning “how to get things done” when creating a
page. Also, the documentation clearly states that code blocks
will use a monospaced font . This is clearly wrong and
disappointing. The way I tend to write code is by aligning
sequential lines of similar call parameters by their columns. This
style makes it very easy to identify which parameters have changed
and which remain the same. This appearance is much more difficult
using a kerned (variable width) font. Otherwise, I’ve finally got
the hang of editing in an efficient manner.
