7.4 Exploring The Example File In The StartUpXML Folder
Let’s have a look at the XML structure of the “example.xml” document below.
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?> <metadataset> <!-- firrst class-type = Selection --> <control> <!-- this de nition will be used as variable (%quality) in the export xml --> <name>quality</name> <!-- this label is displayed in the Just In Multi GUI --> <label>Quality</label> <!-- this pull-down menu will be shown in the Just In Multi GUI --> <type class=”Selection” default=”2”> <item>Low</item> <item>Medium</item> <item>High</item> </type> </control> <!-- second class-type = Text --> <control> <name>customText</name> <label>Custom Text</label> <type class=”Text” default=”Insert your text here”> </type> </control> <!-- third class-type = Checkbox --> <control> <name>special</name> <label>Special</label> <type class=”Checkbox” default=”0”> </type> </control> </metadataset>
The <metadataset> tag is the root tag of the set of definable data. Every information element that can be displayed in the GUI is found within a <control> tag, where one can define the values within the <name>, <label>, <type> and the respective <item> tags.
There are three <class> attributes available: “Selection“, “Text” and “Checkbox”.
In this example we added a new <control> tag (blue text) to the “example.xml”, where we defined a new section of <name>, <label> and <type> tags. We chose to add a Checkbox type to the code. Every addition to this “example.xml” file will be reflected in the Just In Multi GUI upon reload of the file via the Metadata Set pull-down menu.
