The user is presented with “Next” and “Previous” buttons that allow them to page forward and backward through the page set. Pages can also be changed under program control.
This document assumes that the reader is familiar with these tools:
The application is written in Python, the author's favorite programming language. For more information, see Python 2.2 quick reference.
Tkinter is a graphical user interface for Python; for more information see Tkinter reference: A GUI for Python.
This document describes the external interface to the pageturner.py
widget. It also contains the code for the widget, in
literate programming style: for more on literate
programming, see A source extractor for lightweight literate
programming. The code was developed
using the Cleanroom or zero-defect style; for the author's
practice and conventions, see The cleanroom software development methodology.
