....Region Representative approach is the same in terms of r and n as for Task 3, for border and arrow updating. In addition, Task 4 requires repainting the validation checkboxes of O(nr) cells for both approaches. The actual pixel repainting algorithms are part of the Garnet user interface toolkit [20], and incur the usual expense of reasoning about which pixels are visible and dirty . Because these algorithms work with pixels, in addition to the dependency on the number of objects updated (expressed using r and n above) there is also a dependency on the physical sizes of these objects. Thus, ....

....and compared the timings of the Region Representative approach to those of the Straightforward approach. All timings are execution time averages of ten consecutive runs, and were taken on a Sun UltraSparc with 512 MB of RAM, with a single user, under Liquid Common Lisp 5.0. 3 with Garnet [20]. Task 1: The comparisons for Task 1 (collecting static information) in the user edit experiment are graphed in Figure 12. As the graph shows, for 10 500 students, the Region Representative approach was much faster than the Straightforward approach, and it did not slow the system down appreciably ....

Programs such as NeXT s Interface Builder offered an early example of software creation by dynamically interconnecting software modules. Constraint systems, Garnet [Myers 1990] in particular, provided a model in which attributes are interconnected to create applications. Garnet is Lisp based and fairly heavy weight, so one of the authors (Dannenberg) and Dean Rubine designed and implemented a system named V with simple equality constraints using the C programming ....

The language features that appear in CrossJam are not new though the combination and orientation is. CrossJam is strongly influenced by KR, the object system in the Garnet [15] user interface system. The pattern matching is the combination of Wright s [21] Scheme based matching for destructuring and the NeWS [12] system s use of objects as patterns. Network programming elements and threads have appeared in a number of popular languages including Perl [19] Java [1] and ....

Unlike the other spreadsheet languages described here, C32 is not a full fledged spreadsheet language; rather, it is a front end to the underlying textual language Lisp used in the Garnet user interface development environment [Myers et al. 1990]. C32 is a way of viewing one way constraints, but does not itself feature the graphical creation and manipulation of graphical objects. Instead, this function is performed by the demonstrational system Lapidary [Vander Zanden and Myers 1995] which is another part of the Garnet package. The ....

The tools run under the X window system and are written in Common Lisp using the Garnet graphics toolkit [24].

Introduction We have built two user interface development environments that use prototype instance object models. Garnet [Myers 1990b] is in Lisp and was started in 1988. Amulet [Myers 1997] is in C and was started in 1994. The goal of these systems is to investigate ways to make the creation of user interface software significantly easier, especially for highly interactive, graphical, direct manipulation user interfaces. ....

Lapidary determines the differences between the constraints, and creates code to activate the appropriate constraints based on the state of the interface. Lapidary is part of the Garnet user interface development environment [26] and is one of the interactive tools that provide a visual programming environment for Garnet. A preliminary version of Lapidary was presented in [23] This paper describes the completed version of the system which makes a number of major additional contributions. First, the current version of ....
