gtk-fortran: a GTK+ binding to build Graphical User Interfaces in Fortran

Octave-GTK: A GTK binding for GNU Octave

This paper discusses the problems faced with interoperability between two programming languages, with respect to GNU Octave, and GTK API written in C, to provide the GTK API on Octave.Octave-GTK is the fusion of two different API’s: one exported by GNU Octave [scientific computing tool] and the other GTK [GUI toolkit]; this enables one to use GTK primitives within GNU Octave, to build graphical...

mGTK: An SML Binding of Gtk+

We describe mGTK, a Standard ML language binding for the Gtk+ toolkit. Gtk+ is a graphical toolkit for the X Window System, and provides an object-oriented C language API. Since Standard ML is a mostly-functional language without object types, constructing a binding to Gtk+ is not a trivial task. In mGTK, a single-inheritance class hierarchy is encoded using SML’s type system. Most of the mGTK ...

Drawing in GTK+

Most windowing systems are designed around the idea that an application's visual display lies within a rectangular region on the screen called its window. The windowing system, e.g. Gnome or KDE or Explorer, does not automatically save the graphical content of an application's windows; instead it asks the application itself to repaint its windows whenever it is needed. For example, if a window ...

GTK+ for the Linux Framebuffer

In the upcoming GTK+2.0 release GTK+ will support rendering directly to the framebuffer instead of using the X Window System. This is good for embedded systems such as PDAs and other systems with very limited resources; they are able to run without the overhead of an X server while still taking advantage of the power of GTK+ and the large base of existing programs. This white paper describes ho...
