Book Description
This book provides an overview of the X Window System focusing on characteristics that have significant impact on the development of both application programs and widgets. We pay special attention to applications that go beyond graphical user interfaces (GUIs); therefore we discuss issues affecting video games, visualization and imaging programs, and designing widgets with a complex appearance. While the book does not assume previous knowledge of X, it is intended for experienced programmers, especially those who want to write programs that go beyond simple GUIs. X is the dominant window system under Unix, and X servers are available for Microsoft Windows, thus enabling graphics over a network in the PC world. While Java offers an apparently universal graphics library (the abstract window toolkit), the reality is quite different: For high-quality graphics and image display, we must program on the target platform itself (X or one of Microsoft’s APIs) rather than rely on Java peer objects. X is a vast subject, so it is impossible to provide a complete coverage in a few hundred pages. Thus we selected topics that are fundamental to the system, so that the reader who masters them should be able to read the documentation of the numerous libraries and toolkits. Therefore we provide documentation on the most important Xlib and X toolkit functions only.

Mx: a User Interface Toolbox for CAD Tool Writers

Category : Computer-aided design
Languages : en
Pages : 17
Book Description
Abstract: "Mx is a graphical user interface package based on the X Window System. Organized as a toolbox of high-level interactive windows, Mx is designed to ease the implementation of user interfaces while providing a uniform 'look and feel' across multiple CAD tools. The toolbox contains specialized window types for maintaining lists, forms, text, and graphics. All Mx windows are moveable, resizeable, iconifiable, and overlapping. They may be created using simple procedure calls which require no knowledge of X programming. Experience with using Mx to build interfaces for a number of integrated circuit CAD tools has demonstrated that the package is both easy to use and applicable to a wide range of tasks."
The Essential Guide to User Interface Design
