A user interface toolkit based on graphical objects and constraints

Implementing a Graphical Multi-user Interface Toolkit

Multi-user applications allows users in different locations to simultaneously interact with a common interface. Creating multi-user applications is complicated by issues such as process synchronization, replicated window management, and floor control. As a result, several papers describing toolkits that simplify programming of multi-user applications have appeared in the literature. This paper ...

A Graphical User Interface for Editing Formal Specification Objects

A Compact Graphical Representation of User Interface Interaction Objects

Title of Dissertation: A Compact Graphical Representation of User Interface Interaction Objects David Andrew Carr, Doctor of Philosophy, 1995 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ben Shneiderman Department of Computer Science The design of new user-interface interaction objects (or widgets) remains a laborious process. The designer must translate the proposed widget into a computer language and ...

An Editor-Based User Interface Toolkit

A toolkit has been constructed at the Information Technology Center for building interfaces between users and programs. Programs such as a help system, a mail system, a document editor, or a command language typescript all use the same facilities. They are individually easier to construct and have consistent user interfaces. The host system is a powerful personal workstation with a large bitmap...

InterViews: A C++ Graphical Interface Toolkit

We have implemented an object-oriented user interface package, called InterViews, that supports the composition of a graphical user interface from a set of interactive objects. The base class for interactive objects, called an interactor, and base class for composite objects, called a scene, define a protocol for combining interactive behaviors. Subclasses of scene define common types of compos...
