TerseHandling is a framework designed for sketching generic input events, i.e., transforming input events into high-level user-defined actions,
mainly implemented using generic programming techniques.
It provides its own set of events which supports up to 6-DOFs,
together with a set of agents which parses them, i.e., identifies object grabbers and the actions they should perform,
allowing the developer to focus on implementing those actions. A developer workflow using TerseHandling would typically involve the following tasks:
- Choose one among of the provided
TerseHandlingAgents (extending it if necessary) and attach to it an event listening mechanism. - Reduce (hardware or software) input events into their
TerseHandlingcounterparts. - Choose a callback mechanism: direct actionless approach (non-generic programming), or high-level action-driven (which extensively uses generic programming). In the latter case:
- Define shortcuts over
TerseHandlingevents to trigger different actions using Profiles. - Implement the actions to be performed by object grabbers.
- Define shortcuts over

TerseHandling is a full-fledged, stand-alone library which will become the new event backend for the upcoming Proscene-2 series,
but can also backed up the event sub-system of any other third party Java or Processing library.

You must have Google Web Toolkit , either GWT SDK or Eclipse GWT plugin. You must be sure that the project is using GWT, select project properties -> Google -> Web Toolkit -> Use Google Web Toolkit, in Eclipse.
You must resolve the external jar library references, configuring the Libraries tab in the Java build path option on your Eclipse IDE.
Choosing the external jar entry, you must select it on the local folder
tersehandling.js/lib
GWT XML
All code to export must be in a Gwt Module, a module consists of the java packages and classes, and a gwt xml where are appointed the java packages to export. The default xml is :
tersehandling.js\src\remixlab\tersehandling\tersehandling.gwt.xml
For example the entry in the xml
<source path="core"/>
refers to the java package
tersehandling.js\src\remixlab\tersehandling\core
The xml must be located one folder up of the java packages. The xml module can refer to others gwt modules, more info on here
Exporting
Selecting the project by right-clicking and choosing Google > GWT Compile.
You can see running the examples running the html file in the war folder, to modify and create the examples you must have ProcessingStub and resolve references, (external jars).
BoringClickAndDrag - js developer example
you can go to the file
tersehandling.js\examples\BoringClickAndDrag\war\Boring.html
And run or modify the processing js sketch example witout export to js, the sketch objects like agent, terseHandler and circles were export to js.
If youy want create new sketch objects, you cant create it on the package
tersehandling.js\examples\BoringClickAndDrag\src\unal\client
later on the class
tersehandling.js\examples\BoringClickAndDrag\src\unal\client\ExporterFacade.java
You must add the class and methods for export. You can see how do on here The class must have a empty params contrusctor.
Later you must export the project to javascript and you can use the objects in Boring.html.
ActionDrivenCallback - complete java developer example you can go to the file
tersehandling.js\examples\ActionDrivenCallback\war\ActionDrivenCallback.html
And run the example, there is a wrapper of the sketch called ActionDrivenCallback, if you want modify the sketch or create new objects, you must do it in java and export to js.
On the file
tersehandling.js\examples\ActionDrivenCallback\src\main\client\ActionDrivenCallback.java
you can modify the sketch, if you create a new method, you must add it to the abstract class ActionDrivenCallbackFacade in the file
tersehandling.js\examples\ActionDrivenCallback\src\main\client\ExporterFacade.java
if you create new objects for the sketch, it is not necessary to add the ExporterFacade.java, because the only thing that need to run is the ActionDrivenCallbackFacade
