The subpages of this section of the wiki describe specific aspects of updating the GUI source code.
Here's an overview of what you'll find in our GitHub repository:
- README.rst - reStructuredText file with a brief introduction to the GUI, along with installation instructions
- license.txt - GPL v3.0 license file
- .gitignore - lists the files and folders Git shouldn't track; for example, binaries in the
build/
folder that shouldn't be uploaded to the repository - astyle.options - used to automatically enforce style conventions. See Coding standards for more info.
- open-ephys.jucer - the file loaded into the "Introjucer" that defines how the GUI should be compiled. IMPORTANT: Makefiles are auto-generated by the Introjucer, so if you want to add files, delete files, or change the compiler flags, you must do it through the Introjucer, available in the Introjucer/ folder.
- Header files included by almost all of the GUI source code
- modules folder - contains the entire Juce source code, with some important modifications
- BinaryData files - contain raw data used by the application (auto-generated by the Introjucer)
- Contains source code and project files for building the Introjucer
- Images used by the application
- Fonts used by the application
- DataFiles that can be used with the File Reader processor
- Fonts used by the application
- DLLs used by the application
- Scripts and other useful configuration tools
- Bitfiles to load onto an FPGA
Any new resources must be added to the these folders AND referenced within the Introjucer application. For fonts used by Juce components, you need to serialize the fonts using the Font Serializer
application found here.
