This is version @value{GNUSTEP-GUI-VERSION} of the GNUstep GUI library (@samp{gnustep-gui}).

@section 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
|
|
GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end
|
|
component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend.
