This document provides the background material needed to understand
the other documentation:
- The XPCE Reference Manual
Wielemaker &
Anjewierden, 1993 The reference manual is available by means
of the Prolog predicate manpce/0 . The reference manual provides
detailed descriptions of all classes, methods, etc. which may be
accessed from various viewpoints. See also chapter
3.
- PceDraw: An example of using XPCE
Wielemaker,
1992 This document contains the annotated sources of the
drawing tool PceDraw. It illustrates the (graphical) functionality of XPCE
and is useful as a source of examples.
- XPCE/Prolog Course Notes
Wielemaker,
1994 Course-notes, examples and exercises for programming XPCE/Prolog
. The course-notes have a large overlap in contents with this user
guide, but the material is more concise. If you are familiar with
object-oriented systems, Prolog and graphical user interfaces the
course-notes might be a quick alternative to this user guide.
