Tracecc GUI

Overview

The Tracecc GUI provides a graphical interface to the tracecc program.
Choose the directory containing your sources first. After setting the conversion options you are ready to run a conversion. During a conversion all source files (*.ctr, *.cpt, *.mtr, *.jtr and *.jl) are converted into the appropriate destination files (*.c, *.cpp, *.m and *.java). In make mode the program inspects the modification timestamps and runs a conversion only if necessary (if there is no up-to-date destination file for a source file).

Start the program

Type

java -jar /.../tracegui.jar

or

javaw -jar ...\tracegui.jar

to start the program.
On Linux/Unix systems you can use the script

tracecc-gui

A splash screen is shown while the application is started. In the applications main window there is a menu, a button bar, a text showing the current directory, a text field for log messages and a status line.

Choose directory

Use the ``File => Directory'' menu item or the first button in the button bar to choose a directory.

Set options

The status line shows the file currently processed and changes bach to ``Ready'' when the conversion is finished. The log area shows log messages produced by tracecc and jlayout.

Exit the application

Use the ``File => Exit'' menu item or the fourth button to quit the application.
