gui-app

A template GUI application

How To Install

  1. Set your PATH environment variable so you can use raco and other Racket command line functions.
  2. either look for from-template in the DrRacket menu File|Package Manager, or run the raco command:
raco pkg install from-template
raco new gui-app <destination-dir>

If you omit <destination-dir>, the command will add copy the template to a folder called gui-app in the current folder.

How to use

This is working example that you can change to suit your needs.
