XForms - A GUI toolkit for X available
T.C. Zhao
I'm pleased to announce the release of XForms, a graphical user interface
toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. XForms is a portable and
efficient C library that can be used in both C and C++ programs.
The library comes with a rich set of objects such as buttons, browsers,
sliders, and menus integrated into an elegant event/object callback
execution model that allows fast and easy construction of X-applications.
The library also defines an architecture on which new classes of
objects can be developed and thus extending the library.
XForms comes bundled with
- Precompiled library and header files for the following platforms:
SUN, SGI, HP, DecAlpha/OSF,DecStation/Ultrix, IBM/RS6000, Convex,
and PC/linux. Other platforms may be provided if requested.
- Source code for 45+ demonstration programs;
- Precompiled fdesign, an advanced interactive GUI builder that can
be used to design dialogues in a WYSIWYG way and to output the
corresponding C code for you.
- ~200 pages of documentation (tutorial and reference).
Although XForms is not public domain, use of the package is free and
unrestricted for the development of non-commercial and free software.
