Abstract:
This paper presents "Ubit", a new graphical toolkit that is based on the "brick construction game" model. This approach makes it possible to create sophisticated application-specific components by combining simple "basic bricks". All bricks can be shared in order to simplify GUI control and to reduce memory cost. This model supports the the concept of ubiquitous GUI components that are inherently able to display several representations of their content on the screen. At last, Ubit provides a simple and flexible C++ API that makes it possible to specify GUIs in a pseudo-declarative style.
