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
|
|
<http://www.gnustep.it/pierre-yves/index.html>.

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) -
|
|
|
|
1. Documentation - only a tiny start has been made on this!
|
|
|
|
2. Editors and inspectors need writing for most gui elements -
|
|
popup menus boxes browsers scrollviews splitviews etc etc
|
|
|
|
3. Support for color and images on buttons etc. This requires
|
|
improved image and color support in the gui library
|
|
|
|
4. Support for fonts etc This requires improved font management
|
|
support in the gui library
