Examples

# Let's start.
# We start the main class creation, in the constructor we do the
# widget's showing, to give a particular popup
# creation appearance.

class (ws,widget)
{
    constructor
    {
        $$->$setGeometry(%X,%Y,100,100)
(KviKvsObjectFunctionCall *c
        $$->%label=$new(label,$$)
        $$->%label->$settext("Another class by N\&G")
        $$->%label->$setautoresize(1)
        $$->$show()
    }
}
# We create the new workspace, and we set a 640x480 size with widget $resize command
%Workspace=$new(workspace)
%Workspace->$resize(640,480)
# Now we make a cycling construction of the widgets (look at the class),
# and give to the widgets a random X and Y coordinates.
# It takes few seconds to show the effects, be patient.

%I=0
while (%I<100)

    %X=$rand(500)
    %Y=$rand(480)
    %Widget=$new(ws,%Workspace)
    %I++
}
# Let's show the fireworks! EnJoY!
%Workspace->$show()

Example 2:

# This is like the first example but it has a particular animation effect.
