Gtk3 with Ruby
Get up and running
# Like any other ruby code, require gtk3 after installing from "gem install gtk3"
require 'gtk3'
# Like in Rails, you import working functions from a higher class, in this case the GTK Window
class RubyApp < Gtk::Window
# Calling the original method from GTK Window and redefining the defaults
def initialize
super
# Printing window title
set_title "Center"
# Invoking built-in GTK connection and calling destroy to replicate the quit action
signal_connect "destroy" do
Gtk.main_quit
end
# Sets the window size 500px wide by 400px tall
set_default_size 500, 400
# Where the window should be displayed on the screen
set_window_position Gtk::Window::Position::CENTER
# After initialization, show everything
show
end
end
# Call the class, just like any other ruby program
window = RubyApp.new
# GTK method. Runs until destroy is called
Gtk.main
