"I have a gub" - Woody Allen

[Stu] 2008-11-13

Gub is a simple GUI builder that takes a simple spec and generates GUI code.<<br>>
TkGub is an interactive GUI builder based on Gub.<<br>>
Inspired by cool web tools like build-html or build-regexp as-you-type, I (initially) threw this together.

[JBR] - Here is something similar [Laying out widgets in a grid]

[Stu] 2008-11-13 They're both in a highly raw, experimental and possibly volatile state right now.<<br>>
No docs - the source and screenshot should help get you on your way - have fun! ;)
----
[Stu] 2008-12-20 New version 0.2 with full complement of widgets and more/improved functionality.<<br>>
The screenshot is a bit dated now but is still a working example.

[Stu] 2008-12-29 Version 0.3.<<br>>
Some notes about Gub:<<br>>
Gub generates code.<<br>>
Gub is a learning tool.<<br>>
Gub requires knowing what you're doing.<<br>>
Gub is a minimal and fast notation for describing (parts of) GUIs.<<br>>

Gub currently works fairly well.
Nested frames are still buggy and the row/columnconfigures aren't exactly right either.
As I continue to actually attempt to use Gub in other programs, it is subject to change based on my needs and whims (probably a good thing :).

The screenshot is less applicable to the current state of Gub so it's now a link instead of an inline image.<<br>>
