just preparing for a bigger change... introduced a global font (just one), it is lower case per default. I intend to modify the function for registering the default xpm to something accepting the 64x64 bitmap (application dependent) and insert it into the global pixmap. an other function could be used to register the alfabet pixmap and correspondently setting the variables indicating the position of each character. we would only support monospace alfabets. the 'printing' functions would also be simpler (less arguments), since it would be the library knowing which is the alfabet in use.
[WHAT] pywmdockapps is the name of an GPL'd project containing one python package (wmdocklib) and a few python scripts. wmdocklib will help you develop WindowMaker dockapps in python. it is mostly a wrapper around the popular wmgeneral.c, but some new functions have been added too. wmdocklib is divided in two parts: a thin wrapper around the popular wmgeneral.c and a thicker pywmhelpers.py module providing more pythonic interface to the wmdocklib and a few additional functions (e.g.: handling simple configuration files). all functions provided by these modules are imported in the namespace of wmdocklib so you won't need explicit importing of either modules: just import wmdocklib. It is adviced to only use those functions provided by pywmhelpers and not touch the pywmgeneral module directly at all. For information about how to use the module, see the documentation in pywmhelpers.py. It is also possible to import it in the interactive interpreter and issue 'help(pywmhelpers)'. the sample scripts are described in the examples/README a small set of samples are provided. all of them make use of the module pywmgeneral.
