<heading>Classes</heading>
<p>
This file documents the compliance of all the classes in the
GNUstep Gui library. Note that the following is just a best guess
as to the compliance of the classes. Each class was checked to make
sure it implemented all the documented OpenStep methods and functions.
In addition, extensive testing has been performed on the GNUstep Gui
Library, and it is believed, to the best of our knowledge, that it
operates according to the OpenStep specification, with the caveat that
there are always bugs in any implementation and there are most likely
bugs in the current implementation that we are not aware of.
</p>
<p>
The following classes conform to the OpenStep specification:

<deflist>
<term>NSApplication</term>
<desc>-preventWindowOrdering, -orderFrontColorPanel:,
-orderFrondDataLinkPanel:, -orderFrontHelpPanel:,
-runPageLayout: not implemented. In -activateIgnoringOtherApps:,
the flag is ignored.</desc>

<desc>-initWithFocusedViewRect: not implemented in art backend.
+TIFFRepresentationOfImageRepsInArray:usingCompression:factor:
not fully implemented.</desc>
<term>NSCell</term>
<desc>-setFloatingPointFormat:left:right: not implemented.
-setEntryType: not complete.</desc>
<term>NSEPSImageRep</term>
<desc>Cannot interpret/draw EPS images</desc>
<term>NSMatrix</term>
<desc>-setValidateSize: not implemented</desc>
<term>NSPageLayout</term>
<desc>-setAccessoryView: not implemented. Several methods have been
depreciated because they don't do anything useful.</desc>
<term>NSPrintPanel</term>
<desc>-setAccessoryView: not implemented. Several methods have been
depreciated because they don't do anything useful.</desc>
<term>NSPrinter</term>
<desc>Doesn't really get all the information it needs correctly.</desc>
<term>NSSavePanel</term>
<desc>NSCoding protocol not implemented. </desc>
<term>NSScrollView</term>
<desc>-toggleRuler: and -isRulerVisible: not
implemented. (Replaced by similar methods). </desc>
<term>NSWindow</term>
<desc>-resizeFlags not implemented.</desc>
<term>NSWorkspace</term>
<desc>Many methods require a proper window and workspace
manager application to be used.</desc>
<term>Functions</term>
<desc>Following are not implemented: NSReadPixel, all text functions,
NSFrameLinkRect.</desc>
</deflist>
<p>
The following OpenStep classes are not implemented. The usefulness
of these classes is marginal, so there is a very low priority on
implementing them. However, we would be pleased to accept
their contribution should anyone care to implement them and assign
the copyright to the Free Software Foundation.
