Interface Builder

چکیده
Implementation of a graphical user interface for a nontrivial application tends to be tedious and error prone. A simple, visual GUI builder was implemented to explore issues with the current state of graphical application development. Various implementation issues are discussed in relation to enabling a GUI builder tool to be easily extensible to prevent discouraging stagnation of GUI controls. Additionally, design/interaction observations are discussed in the context of making the user’s experience efficient and integrating with the rest of the development process.

The GINA Interface Builder
As part of the GINA project at GMD, an interface builder has been implemented that can be used to interactively develop graphical user interfaces based on the OSF/Motif toolkit. The interface builder extensively uses direct-manipulation techniques to facilitate explorative learning and to accelerate the definition process. It provides special support for the dynamic layout capabilities of Motif...
متن کاملArgos: An Open Source Application For Building Multi- Touch Musical Interfaces
Argos is a multi-touch graphical user interface builder aimed at applications in musical performance and sound synthesis. The interface builder lets users construct interfaces through a library of existing widgets (e.g. knobs, sliders, buttons), while providing access to an extensible, open-source toolkit for developing new widgets. Argos was designed with platform-independence in mind, enablin...
متن کاملActive Customization of GIS User Interfaces
This paper presents a new approach to user interface customization in Geographic Information Systems (gis). This approach is based on the integration of three main components: a gis user interface architecture ; an active database mechanism; and a generic interface builder. The gis interface architecture provides the default interface behavior, while the active system allows customization of in...
متن کاملSchema Builder: A Web-based User Interface for Authoring and Sharing Natural-Language Processing Schemas
We present Schema Builder, a web-based user interface to create NLP schemas representing variables to be extracted from clinical text. Schema Builder allows the user to create rich concept-oriented, unambiguous schemas that consist of definitions, linguistic and semantic attributes, synonyms, and mappings to standardized vocabularies. The application assists the user by leveraging a detailed ge...
متن کاملA Comparison Framework and Assessment of two Specification Approaches based on UML Scenarios1
In this paper, we present a comparison framework of two proposed approaches for modeling interactive systems using scenarios as defined by the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Scenarios are first transformed into partial specifications and merged to obtain a global specification capturing the behavior of an object of the system or the behavior of the entire system. From the global specification...
