FXRuby is a library for developing powerful and sophisticated cross-platform graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for your Ruby applications. It’s based on the FOX Toolkit, a popular open source C++ library developed by Jeroen van der Zijp. What that means for you as an application developer is that you’re able to write code in the Ruby programming language that you already know and love, while at the same time taking advantage of the performance and functionality of a featureful, highly optimized C++ toolkit.
Projects Using FXRuby
Projects using FXRuby include:
- DbTalk is an interactive GUI-based tool for database querying, programming, administration, etc. It is developed by Dalibor Sramek.
- FreeRIDE is an IDE for the Ruby programming language.
- FRED is a high energy physics event display built out of Ruby and FOX by Riccardo Giannitrapani and Marco Frailis.
- Mondrian is a cross-platform project-manager and editor for the Ruby language. Written in 100% native Ruby using the FOX GUI toolkit, Mondrian has the familiar look and feel of a modern IDE while remaining dedicated to the uniqueness of the Ruby language and its community.
- foxGUIb is an interactive gui builder and codegenerator for FXRuby. This tool makes it easy to quickly build complex and good looking graphical user interfaces for Ruby.
