Download the ZIP file (click the big green button) \u0026 unzip it\n - Add it to your path:\n   - make a folder in your home directory, called PYLIB, and put appJar inside it\n   - On mac/linux add this to your .bashrc: export PYTHONPATH=~/PYLIB:$PYTHONPATH\n   - On Windows, add a new environment variable\n - Give it a twirl:\n   - Check the docs folder, for a couple of PDFs with help.\n   - Check the Lessons folder, for some example code.\n\n### Example:\n```\nfrom appJar import gui  \napp = gui(\"Example\")  \napp.addLabel(\"label1\", \"Hello World\")  \napp.go()  \n```\n\nor (using context managers):  \n\n```\nfrom appJar import gui  \nwith gui(\"Example\") as app:\n    app.addLabel(\"label1\", \"Hello World\")  \n```\n\nor (using simple naming):  \n\n```\nfrom appJar import gui  \nwith gui(\"Example\") as app:\n    app.label(\"Hello World\")  \n```\n\n### Reasoning:\n - Designed to be as easy as possible, yet still provide a lot of tkinter functionality\n - Provides 3 functions for most widgets:\n   - add(name, value) this adds a new widget (usually with a name and a value)\n   - set(name, value) this updates the value of the named widget\n   - get(name) this gets the value of the named widget\n - Uses grid layout\n - When adding widgets, up to 4 numerical \"positions\" can be supplied:\n   - column - the coloumn to appear in, starting at 0\n   - row - row to appear in, stating at 0\n   - columnspan - how many columns to span across\n   - rowspan - how many rows to span down\n - Provides loads of extra bits and pieces outside of core tkinter\n   - Some of this was from the excellent resources @ http://effbot.org\n   - Some of this was from slashdot examples of how to solve common problems\n   - Some of this has been incorporated from other people's modules:\n     - ToolTip support form Michael Lange  \n     - png support using James Wright's tkinter-png and Johann C. Rocholl's png.py libraries  \n     - jpeg support using NanoJPEG from Martin J. Fiedler  \n\n - I've tried to get as much functionality into this library as possible, without requiring any other modules\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjarvisteach%2FappJar","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjarvisteach%2FappJar","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjarvisteach%2FappJar/lists"}
