1.1 What is the GNUstep GUI Backend?
|
|
|
|
|
====================================
|
2003-09-01 23:15:50 +00:00

|
It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The
|
2003-09-01 23:15:50 +00:00
|
|
|
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The
|
|
|
|
|
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
|
|
|
|
|
and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end
|
|
|
|
|
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
|
|
|
|
|
specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep
|
|
|
|
|
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
|
|
|
|
|
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
|
|
|
|
|
easily ported to other display systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or
|
2017-04-03 23:29:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the
|
2003-09-01 23:15:50 +00:00
|
|
|
DPS functions required by the front-end system.
