Examples

The best way to learn Eulogy and become proficient with refactoring legacy code is with usage, practice, and experience. Thus, Eulogy add-on comes with a variety of examples (Help>>Find Examples...) that either demonstrate a specific Eulogy concept, or provide practice refactoring code. The following is the recommended order for working through the examples that are shipped and installed with the Eulogy add-on.

1. Dig a Grave - Simple.vi: Demonstrates how to dig a grave around a selection of objects, or nodes, in a block diagram. A grave is the most basic concept, or building block, for Eulogy and refactoring legacy code.
2. Reanimate - Simple.vi: Demonstrates reanimating a corpse into a zombie when the legacy code needs to be executed or used as opposed to the refactored code.
3. Smite - Simple.vi: Demonstrates how to smite a zombie, which enables the refactored code instead of the legacy code.
4. Bury - Simple.vi: Demonstrates removing a grave from a block diagram.
5. Graveyard - Simple.vi: Demonstrates using the custom Bookmark Manager (Graveyard) to manage and monitor graves and zombies.
6. Dig a Grave - Complex.vi: A slightly more complex refactoring task that is good practice for creating and nesting multiple graves in a block diagram.
7. Graveyard - Complex.vi: An example of a refactoring-in-progress that can be used as practice for using all of the actions and concepts of Eulogy.

Note, there are also a series of examples for using the Toolkit API and programmatically completing Eulogy-focused actions. These are considered optional and advanced usage. Since the documentation for the Toolkit API for more information about extending and incorporating Eulogy.
