1. What is GLayout-Demo?

** glayout-demo is a simple application which allows me to include, in one place, most (eventually all) of the features of GLayout. It serves as both a way to show off GLayout and as a test bed of new features and styles. It will be updated often, as new stuff is added to GLayout and as time permits. **

2. how do I run i?

You can run it from rebol.org directly from the rebol console!

do http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=glayout-demo.r

It will attempt to make a very rudimentary installation of its needed libraries (slim.r and glayout.r), in the current folder (where you launched the demo from, can be your user dir, if clicking on an icon).

In any case, it will popup dialogs, asking permission to write the files and will give you the path where it will attempt the installation from.

This way, you know exactly what its trying to do, nothing else will be written or installed on your computer .

3. Quick Preview

3.1 Splash screen

Here is a quick preview of the main splash screen when glayout-demo.r opens up

3.2 Button Styles

Here is the button styles page which shows various different button setups.

You can try out most of the available GLayout styles within the demo app.

3.3 The Inspector

Pressin on inspect will open up a new window, which allows you to browse the value in the field.

Here we started browsing the /system/view object, and then browsed further into VID/facet-words.

3.4 That's it !

This concludes the first quick documentation of the demo app.
