<p>Martignasse: </p> <hr /> <div>There are a lot of files that go into creating a GUI with CEGUI. Here is an overview (thanks to lindquist for the original version). An expanded version of this brief overview would be quite useful.<br /> <br /> ==Overview of CEGUI resource files==<br /> ==='''.imageset Files'''===<br /> An imageset is an xml file describing a set of images contained in an image file.<br /> When an imageset is loaded, images from that file become available to the application via the ImagesetManager.<br /> <br /> Editor: [http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1346 Something in the works by Centipede?]<br /> <br /> Martignasse: [http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1346 a CEImagesetEditor in WIP by Martignasse.]<br /> <br /> ==='''[[Scheme files|.scheme Files]]'''===<br /> A scheme file is an xml file describing the binding of widgets defined in a looknfeel file and the base Falagard widget set. Once loaded the component in the scheme file are available via the WindowManager. A detailed description of [[Scheme files]] is also available.<br /> <br /> Editor: none<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''.looknfeel Files'''===<br /> These are also xml files, which define the visual aspect of widgets declared in the scheme file.<br /> <br /> Editor: none<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''.layout Files'''===<br /> A layout file is also in xml format. It describes a set of widgets to create and their positions, sizes, and other attributes. Basically this describes the final on-screen layout of your GUI, hence the name.<br /> <br /> Editor: [[The_&quot;official&quot;_layout_editor]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''.font Files'''===<br /> These simple xml files give the location of a font file (like a TrueType .ttf file) and define a few extra properties about how CEGUI should use that font.<br /> <br /> Editor:<br /> <br /> <br /> ==About [[%22Falagard%22_Skinning_System_Documentation | Falagard]]==<br /> Falagard is the part of the API that makes it possible to create a completly new set of widgets (at the visual level) from xml files.<br /> <br /> You can, with a looknfeel, describe a widget and make it appear as you want (by using images defined in some imageset) and finally bind it to one of the widgets from a Falagard Base widget set in a scheme file.<br /> <br /> Link: [[%22Falagard%22_Skinning_System_Documentation | Falagard documentation]]<br /> <br /> ==Related Documents==<br /> * [[XML File formats]] - Detailed documentation of the various XML file formats.</div>
