# πmenu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
πmenu is a pie menu utility for X.
|
||
|
|
πmenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user
|
||
|
|
to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
πmenu comes with the following features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* πmenu reads something in and prints something out, the UNIX way.
|
||
|
|
* Submenus (some pie-menu slices can spawn another menu).
|
||
|
|
* Icons (pie-menu slices can contain icon image).
|
||
|
|
* X resources support (you don't need to recompile πmenu for configuring it).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check out my other project, [xclickroot](https://github.com/phillbush/xclickroot) for an application that can
|
||
|
|
spawn πmenu by right clicking on the root window (i.e. on the desktop).

|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, edit ./config.mk to match your local setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to build πmenu you need the Imlib2, Xlib and Xft header files.
|
||
|
|
The default configuration for πmenu is specified in the file config.h,
|
||
|
|
you can edit it, but most configuration can be changed at runtime via
|
||
|
|
X resources. Enter the following command to build πmenu. This command
|
||
|
|
creates the binary file ./pmenu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, πmenu is installed into the /usr/local prefix. Enter the
|
||
|
|
following command to install πmenu (if necessary as root). This command
|
||
|
|
installs the binary file ./pmenu into the ${PREFIX}/bin/ directory, and
|
||
|
|
the manual file ./pmenu.1 into ${MANPREFIX}/man1/ directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Running πmenu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
πmenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
|
||
|
|
entry. Each line can be indented with tabs to represent nested menus.
|
||
|
|
Each line is made out of a label and a command separated by any number
|
||
|
|
of tabs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the script ./pmenu.sh for an example of how to use πmenu to draw a
|
||
|
|
simple pie menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Read the manual for more information on running πmenu.
