Conventions Used in this tutorial

There are some conventions we'll use that you should know about. When we've added a new piece of code and are discussing it, it'll appear in bold face, and when there's more code to come, you'll see three dots. Here's what that looks like:

Listener listener = new Listener( ) {
 public void handleEvent(Event event) {
 ToolItem item = (ToolItem)event.widget;
 String string = item.getText( );
 .
 .
 .
 }
};


We'll also use the standard convention for selecting menu items in this tutorial; for example, to create a new project in Eclipse, you use the FileScreenshot NewScreenshot Project menu item. The following typographical conventions are used in this tutorial:


Plain text

Indicates menu titles, menu options, menu buttons, and keyboard accelerators.


Italic

Indicates new terms, example URLs, example email addresses, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, directories, and Unix utilities.


Constant width

Indicates commands, options, switches, variables, types, classes, namespaces, methods, modules, properties, parameters, values, objects, events, event handlers, and XML tags.


Constant width italic

Indicates text that should be replaced with user-supplied values.
