Boxer Description

Boxer is a simple and efficient application that aims to maintain the ease-of-use offered by mouse-driven graphical editors. Adding on top of that is the customization ability which only a powerful dedicated programming language can provide. Boxer is made by two equally important components: · a programming language, Box, designed with vector graphics in mind, · a graphical user interface, Boxer, which allows you to edit the Box program and - at the same time - see the figure, zoom in and out, interact with it. Main features: Smart figures: while you can still see what you draw and interact with it as in traditional vector graphics editors, you can also add custom code to make your figures “smart” Reusability: you can reuse your past figures just via cut & paste from other Box programs Flexibility: you always draw things in Window objects. You can then translate, rotate, scale and put such Window objects inside other Window objects Powerful tools: transformation matrices can be calculated automatically from constraints given by the user Flexible syntax: don’t need to declare variables when redundant, don’t need to put semicolons everywhere, don’t need to give function parameters in a precise order just for the sake of it, use default values as needed Customizability: you can base your figure on a set of variables which you define at the beginning. Changing colors, line sizes, shapes and styles is then a matter of seconds. Being a programming language, Box allows you to draw fractal pictures and Boxer allows you to interact with them!
