I am pleased to announce the availability of XForms home page
http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms
Check it out.
What is XForms ?
XForms is 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 works in all
visuals, TrueColor (24bits or otherwise), PseudoColor and StaticColor
(except B&W at the moment) and 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.
Unlike other tookits, the Forms Library is very intuitive
and simple to use. You can start writing XForms based programs within
an hour once you go though the first five pages of the documentation and
have run and read a couple of the demos.
XForms comes bundled with
- Precompiled library and header files for the following platforms:
DecAlpha/OSF
DecStation/Ultrix
Linux
SUN (SunOS and Solaris)
SGI
HP/HP-UX
IBM/RS6000
FreeBSD
Convex
Cray-C90
Cray-YMP
- 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);
FTP INSTRUCTIONS
The XForms package is available via anonymous ftp from
bloch.phys.uwm.edu (129.89.57.24), directory [pub/xform].
Read the README file there. You will need the program gzip
to unpack the archive:
gzip -dc bxform.tgz | tar xof -
Remember to use binary transfer.
Or you can take a tour of XForms via http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms
