wxLua is a lua scripting language wrapper around the wxWidgets cross-platform
|
|
GUI library. It consists of an executable for running standalone wxLua scripts
|
|
and a library for extending C++ programs with a fast, small, fully embeddable
|
|
scripting language.

The wxLua "big picture"
|
|
|
|
Lua is an ANSI C compatible scripting language that can load and run
|
|
interpreted scripts as either files or strings. The language itself is very
|
|
dynamic and contains a limited number of data types, mainly numbers, strings,
|
|
and tables. Perhaps the most powerful feature of the lua language is that the
|
|
tables can be used as either arrays or as hashtables that can contain numbers,
|
|
strings, and/or subtables.
|
|
|
|
wxLua adds to this small and elegant language the power of the wxWidgets
|
|
cross-platform GUI library. This incudes the ability to create complex user
|
|
interface dialogs, image manipulation, file manipulation, sockets, displaying
|
|
HTML, and printing to name a few.
