## NAME

wxglade - python program to build user interfaces based on the wxWidgets toolset.

**wxglade** \[--help \| -h\]

**wxglade** \[--version\]

## DESCRIPTION

**wxglade** wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the popular GUI toolkit wxPython, that helps you create wxWidgets/wxPython user interfaces. At the moment it can generate Python, Lisp, C++ and XRC (wxWidgets' XML resources) code.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.

- **-g** or **--generate-code** *LANG*

  If you only want to generate the code without starting the GUI, use the -g or --generate-code option with the language as argument

  Possible values for LANG are "python", "lisp", "XRC", "perl" or "C++".

- **-o** or **--output** *DESTINATION*

  You can specify the destination of the generated code with -o or --output option.

  The DESTINATION argument can be a file or a directory. It is a file when the FILENAME.wxg generates single-file source code. It is a directory when the FILENAME.wxg generates multiple-file source code.

- **-h** or **--help**

  Show the help message and exit

- **--version**

  Show programs version number and exit

## EXAMPLES

Generate Python code out of myapp.wxg:

**wxglade** -o /tmp -g python myapp.wxg

Open file myapp.wxg in wxGlade GUI:

**wxglade** myapp.wxg
