NeXtMidas JavaBeansNeXtMidas enables you to package most graphical primitives and macros as JavaBeans, and put them in a GUI. JavaBeans support the following NeXtMidas tasks:
Using a GUI-Builder to Build NeXtMidas PanelsEngineers will find that building NeXtMidas panels with a GUI-Builder is extremely helpful. It allows you, an engineer, to write macros with a focus on data processing, not asthetics or event handling. Later, you can create the GUI with no impact on the macro's functions.
Unlike the X-Midas approach to using GUI builders (which requires engineers to
write Python code), NeXtMidas does not require
an engineer to write any Java code. With NeXtMidas, you simply draw
out the panel using the GUI-Builder, and NeXtMidas does the rest. You
tell the macro to use the panel you just created by calling the macro with
the
By following these few simple rules, you can confidently design NeXtMidas to incorporate each widget created in the GUI-builder to work as you intend:
For information on how to use the GUI-builder in NetBeans, see NetBeans. Embedding NeXtMidas Primitives into a Graphical Primitive
Programmers will like embedding primitives into graphical panels
they create. The
