Command Line Invocation

You can run wxGlade without parameters to start the GUI with an empty project as follows:

wxglade

Run wxGlade GUI on an existing project specifying the .wxg file as follow:

wxglade <WXG File>

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

wxglade -g <LANGUAGE> <WXG File>

wxglade --generate-code=<LANGUAGE> <WXG File>

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

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

wxglade -g <LANGUAGE> -o <DESTINATION> <WXG File>

The DESTINATION argument can be a file or a directory.
