turtleDemo - Help

----------------------------------------------

This document has two sections:

(1) How to use the demo viewer
  (2) How to add your own demos to the demo repository

(1) How to use the demo viewer.

Select a demoscript from the example menu.
  The (syntax colored) source code appears in the left
  source code window. IT CANNOT BE EDITED, but ONLY VIEWED!

- Press START button to start the demo.
  - Stop execution by pressing the STOP button.
  - Clear screen by pressing the CLEAR button.
  - Restart by pressing the START button again.

SPECIAL demos are those which run EVENTDRIVEN.
  (For example clock.py - or oldTurtleDemo.py which
  in the end expects a mouse click.):

Press START button to start the demo.

- Until the EVENTLOOP is entered everything works
      as in an ordinary demo script.

- When the EVENTLOOP is entered, you control the
      application by using the mouse and/or keys (or it's
      controlled by some timer events)
      To stop it you can and must press the STOP button.

While the EVENTLOOP is running, the examples menu is disabled.

- Only after having pressed the STOP button, you may
      restart it or choose another example script.

* * * * * * * *
   In some rare situations there may occur interferences/conflicts
   between events concerning the demo script and those concerning the
   demo-viewer. (They run in the same process.) Strange behaviour may be
   the consequence and in the worst case you must close and restart the
   viewer.

(2) How to add your own demos to the demo repository
     IMPORTANT! When imported, the demo should not modify the system
     by calling functions in other modules, such as sys, tkinter, or
     turtle. Global variables should be initialized in main().

- The script name must begin with tdemo_ ,
     so it must have the form tdemo_<your-script-name>.py

- The code must contain a main() function which will
     be executed by the viewer (see provided example scripts).
     It may return a string which will be displayed in the Label below
     the source code window (when execution has finished.)
	   
   - In order to run mydemo.py by itself, such as during development,
     add the following at the end of the file:

if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()
        mainloop()  # keep window

python -m turtledemo.mydemo  # will then run it

- If the demo is EVENT DRIVEN, main must return the string
     "EVENTLOOP". This informs the demo viewer that the script is
     still running and must be stopped by the user!

If an "EVENTLOOP" demo runs by itself, as with clock, which uses
     ontimer, or minimal_hanoi, which loops by recursion, then the
     code should catch the turtle.Terminator exception that will be
     raised when the user presses the STOP button.  (Paint is not such
     a demo; it only acts in response to mouse clicks and movements.)
