+README for janix-texinfo.css
+------------------------------------
+
+The purpose of this cascading style sheet (CSS) is to decorate the
+Texinfo HTML output produced by texi2any v5.0 (or greater).
+
+***
+
+Use the following syntax to build HTML with this stylesheet:
+
+    texi2any --split=node --html --css-ref=janix-texinfo.css --set-customization-variable WORDS_IN_PAGE=0 my-info-file.txi

For Leiningen, there is a @uref{https://github.com/pallet/lein-jdk-tools, plugin}. The gist of it is to add @file{$JAVA_HOME/../lib/tools.jar} to your @code{:resource-paths} and if possible put it into an exclusions list for the main jar; that way it will still be packed into the uberjar. + +For the users of @emph{OpenJDK} 7 and 8, @emph{OpenJFX}, the opensource implementation of JavaFX, is not included yet (it will be starting with OpenJDK 9). Luckily, many Linux distributions ship a separate OpenJFX package by now, but for those that don't, the OpenJDK wiki has an article @uref{https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX, ``Building OpenJFX''}. + +@node Getting started +@chapter Getting started + +@code{(require '[clojurefx.clojurefx :as fx])} + +To get the JavaFX environment up and running, you can't just initialize some classes and fire up a window, as is the case with Swing; you first have to initialise the environment. For this, you have two choices: either use a ``nasty hack'' Oracle themselves show, or go down the Java road and subclass @indicateurl{javafx.application.Application}. + +For the ``nasty hack'', you have to add a @code{defonce} @emph{before} you import JavaFX classes (so, best suited for a @file{core.clj} ns). You can then manually create a @code{Stage} and add a @code{Scene} to it. + +@code{(defonce force-toolkit-init (javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel.))} + +Subclassing @indicateurl{javafx.application.Application} is a tad more work and requires you to aot-compile the namespace: + +@lisp +(ns example.core + (:require [clojurefx.clojurefx :as fx]) + (:gen-class :main true + :extends javafx.application.Application)) + +(defn -init [this] + nil) + +(defn -start [this ^javafx.stage.Stage stage] + (.show stage)) + +(defn -stop [this] + nil) + +(defn -main [& args] + (javafx.application.Application/launch example.core args)) +@end lisp + +@node Core API +@section Core API + +@deffn clojurefx.clojurefx run-now code +This macro runs the code given on the JavaFX thread and blocks the current thread until the execution has finished. +@end deffn + +@deffn clojurefx.clojurefx run-later code +This macro runs the code given on the JavaFX thread and immediately returns.

It also allows defining action handlers and, similar to HTML, inline scripting via script tags. You can find an introduction @uref{https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/fxml/doc-files/introduction_to_fxml.html, on this site}. + +ClojureFX provides an idiomatic interface to load FXML files, and in this new version can even generate a controller class for you at runtime. For the latter, the user has to have @file{tools.jar} on his classpath (@pxref{Installation and deployment}). + +@node Loading FXML files +@section Loading FXML files + +So you created an @acronym{FXML} file, probably with the SceneBuilder, and obviously now want to use it in your application. Doing so looks tedious in the JavaFX docs, but it is actually straightforward. All you need is some place to add the loaded Node - this could be the Scene object, or simply any JavaFX Parent element. The loader function returns a pure javafx.scene.Node-based object. + +@lisp +(require '[clojurefx.fxml :as fxml]) +(def mainwindow (fxml/load-fxml "resources/fxml/mainwindow.fxml")) ;; => javafx.scene.Node +(.setContent my-scroll-pane mainwindow) +@end lisp + +You're already good to go! + +@node Generating controller classes +@section Generating controller classes + +When creating an @acronym{FXML} file, you have built-in features to bind properties and call functions in an associated controller class. Before actually writing any Clojure, let's see how you can prepare your @acronym{FXML} file to get the most out of it. + +First, at your outermost element in the file, you have to tell it the class name of its @acronym{JVM} sibling it is going to call. For that, open it, and add the @option{fx:controller} attribute: @code{fx:controller="ch.lyrion.MyController"}. It is not very important how you name the class, as long as it has a package and doesn't exist anywhere else. + +To bind any element to your new controller (in the form of a @code{Property}), you need the @option{fx:id} attribute. Let's try it with that label: @code{
