Scripting extension

Introduction

gvSiG has an extension which allows you to create your own scripts in different programming languages, such as Jython, javascript, beanShell or groovy.

Jython is an implementation of the high-level, object-oriented language Python written in Java, and integrated with the Java platform. It allows you to run Python on any Java platform.

BeanShell is an object-oriented Java source code interpreter with script utilities. It executes standard Java expressions and statements as well as scripting commands and syntax.

Groovy is a powerful language for the Java virtual machine which compiles Java byte code and implements several high-level utilities for Java developers. A scripting extension tutorial is available in www.gvsig.org.

Jython console

gvSIG includes a command console for Jython language which can be accessed by going to the "File" menu bar, then to "Scripting" and “Jython console".
