1.1 What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
|
|
|
|
|
====================================

|
|
It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely
|
|
|
|
|
in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OpenStep
|
|
|
|
|
specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library has been
|
|
|
|
|
enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system.
|
|
|
|
|
These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields,
|
|
|
|
|
popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
|
|
|
|
|
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.

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
|
|
|
|
|
X/Windows. 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 Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the
|
1997-03-28 22:21:23 +00:00
|
|
|
GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end
|
2002-05-01 02:06:48 +00:00
|
|
|
component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend.
