This article is a summary of the steps/pointers needed to successfully parse and re-interpret a subset of PropertyList XML File using Nasal scripting and the Canvas system:
Background and Motivation
See:
XML processing
XML processing can be done via io.nas - however, strictly speaking, it's not needed because the Nasal library/props module can transparently load an XML file from the base package and return it as a hash, so that you don't have to do any XML handling at all.
Creating a Canvas
It's best to look at Canvas Snippets and see how easy it is to create a new Canvas from scratch.
Creating Popups
See Tooltips
Using Canvas Layouts
For now, please look at Canvas Layout System
Event Handling
For event handling purposes, there's Canvas Event Handling
Existing Widgets
Creating new Widgets
See Howto:Creating a Canvas GUI Widget
