wxSU Description

A free, open source plug-in for Google SketchUp that extends the SketchUp API with the capabilities of wxRuby wxSU bundles wxRuby to provide a pure and cross-platform Ruby solution for implementing GUI dialogs in your SketchUp plugins.The SketchUp API provides GUI dialog support using dynamic HTML via an embedded web browser. wxSU gives you an alternative way to create dialogs for your plugins. The wxSU interface layer allows wxRuby and SketchUp to work together seamlessly.wxRuby is a cross-platform, open source GUI toolkit for the Ruby programming language. wxRuby is a wrapper for the cross-platform, open source C++ GUI engine wxWidgets. wxRuby and wxWidgets use the native widgets on each platform to give a native look and feel to your applications.One advantage of using wxRuby with SketchUp is that you can write GUI applications that run within the SketchUp environment as a plugin but can also run outside of SketchUp. All it requires is a little bit of modular programming and an external Ruby interpreter to run the application (which can be packaged in an installer). Here are some key features of "wxSU": · Bundles the wxRuby engine as a SketchUp plugin · Resolves threading issues between SketchUp's Ruby interpreter and the wxRuby engine · Assigns wxRuby windows to recognize the SketchUp window as its parent. Requirements: · Google SketchUp 6 or later (Free or Pro) What's New in This Release: · Update of wxRuby engine and documentation to version 2.0.0. · Bug fix to prevent the creation of multiple instances of the wxSU::App class. Multiple instances can cause crashes and conflicts. · Bug fix for conflict with V-Ray plugin that prevented SketchUp from shutting down completely after exiting.
