@section Introduction
|
|
|
|
Read the NEWS file for the latest user visible changes. Read the INSTALL
|
|
file for installation instructions.

Gorm is an acronym for Graphic Object Relationship modeler (or perhaps
|
|
GNUstep Object Relationship Modeler).
|
|
|
|
Gorm is a clone of the NeXTstep `Interface Builder' application for GNUstep.
|
|
|
|
Gorm is not `gormless' (a Yorkshire dialect word that my parents used when they
|
|
spotted me staring, slack-jawed, at the TV).
|
|
|
|
Gorm is part of the GNUstep project, and is copyrighted by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation.
|
|
|
|
Gorm is released under the GPL - see the file `COPYING' for details.
|
|
|
|
Little documentation exists. There is a nice basic tutorial
|
|
at @url{http://www.gnustep.it/pierre-yves/index.html}.

@section Status
|
|
|
|
At this point, Gorm is usable only for very simple stuff as it only supports
|
|
the most commonly used gui elements. However, the binary format in which
|
|
documents are archived is stable, so documents created using Gorm now should
|
|
remain useful.
|
|
Interface test mode qorks quite nicely - you really can see things working.
|

|
|
Known problems (things to do) -
|
|
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
@item Documentation - only a tiny start has been made on this!
|
|
|
|
@item Editors and inspectors need writing for most gui elements -
|
|
scrollviews
|
|
splitviews
|
|
etc etc
|
|
|
|
@item Support for color and images on buttons etc.
|
|
This requires improved image and color support in the gui library
|
|
|
|
@item Support for fonts etc
|
|
This requires improved font management support in the gui library
