How To Write a ViewerParcel
This tutorial is out of date. We will start on a new one later. Sorry!
Chandler is designed to make it very easy for developers to build new parcels. (What's a ViewerParcel?)
Learning wxPython works will probably be a bigger challenge than learning how Chandler works.
All the programming tools you need (except for a Python-friendly editor) should be in the Chandler distributions.
If you do write a parcel, please add it to the list of third-party parcels. We suggest that you follow the
ChandlerCodingStyleGuidelines.
To be done later, probably for the 0.2 release
- The initialization sequence in Chandler
- Event-handling sequence
- Adding a second View to a ViewerParcel
- Working with URIs in Chandler
- Persistence in Chandler
There is more information on our development environment, including links to tutorials and documentation for the packages we use.
