We specify widget libraries for the VisualWorks and Tk toolkits. We also specify an abstract library that expresses the common features of the two toolkits. Widgets from the abstract library can be replaced by widgets from either toolkit without loss of functionality. By specifying a user-interface in terms of widgets from the abstract library, portability of the user-interface to either the Vi...

This article presents an integral graphical interface to the Hybrid Electron Microscopy Normal Mode Analysis (HEMNMA) approach that was developed for capturing continuous motions of large macromolecular complexes from single-particle EM images. HEMNMA was shown to be a good approach to analyze multiple conformations of a macromolecular complex but it could not be widely used in the EM field due...

Communication between end-users and spatial databases raises important and speciic issues. Unlike classical systems, it requires strong cooperation between two major tools: spatial query language and graphical interface. This paper addresses the problem of building an interactive querying system for spatial databases with an open architecture. We focus on the following issues: (i) design of a d...

An easy–to–use user interface was implemented in a highly automated regression analysis tool. The user interface was developed from the start to run on computers that use the Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or UNIX operating system. Many user interface features were specifically designed such that a novice or inexperienced user can apply the regression analysis tool with confidence. Therefore, the u...

In the context of an e↵ort to develop methodologies to support the evaluation of interactive system, this paper investigates an approach to detect graphical user interface bad smells. Our approach consists in detecting user interface bad smells through model-based reverse engineering from source code. Models are used to define which widgets are present in the interface, when can particular grap...
