....Window System The X Window System was originally developed at MIT in 1984. Toolkits built on top of X Windows are commonly used for building graphical applications on Unix workstations. These toolkits are relatively rudimentary compared to user interface toolkits currently being investigated [59][62][72] They provide abstractions for user interface concepts such as windows, mouse and keyboard input, and 2 1 2D spatial layout. User interface objects such as menus are constructed from lower level objects called widgets. My work focuses on transforming text based graphical interfaces built ....

....from and can be modi ed independently of the documents to which they apply. They are written in a simple, declarative language and each one applies to an entire document class. Limited support for multiple presentations can be found in several other systems. The SUIT user interface toolkit [24] provides multiple widgets for certain simple objects. Chiron [16] can support an arbitrary number 6 of artists for the same abstract data type. However, an artist de nes both presentation and interaction and is written in a superset of Ada. Thus, artists are more heavyweight than Ensemble ....

....tools into one seamless user interface development environment that will allow designers to create, evaluate, modify, and reevaluate an interface. AIDE makes use of the user interface development tool SUIT which provides several advantages that facilitate automated design lay out and evaluation [10]. The ASCII interface description file ( SUI) contains a textual description of the interface, including information about the type, location, and size of each interface widget. Since SUIT interprets the SUI file at run time, it is possible to change the interface layout without recompiling ....

....split list, categories, grouping INTRODUCTION Property lists allow users to edit object properties in a spreadsheet like interface. Property lists are compact, simple, and extensible. They are particularly useful in environments with many object types and are used in several interface builders [1,2,5] to display and edit the properties of interface elements. A property list usually displays properties for the currently selected object(s) in a separate window, allowing the user to browse object properties simply by changing the selection. A property list can handle multiple objects of different ....

....Previous solutions to the challenge of a toolkit suitable for multiple platforms have included virtual toolkits. These toolkits layer the user interface architecture, extracting the generic components into portable layers which sit on top of platform dependent layers. The SUIT system [6] was designed to run on three platforms, Mac, UNIX and Windows. The user interface was split into two layers on top of the platform dependent toolkits. The toolkit layer provided the tools necessary to implement the interface. The graphics layer provided a well defined graphical layer which could ....

....spatial metaphors are intrinsically difficult to extend or if only the implementations of spatial metaphors are difficult to extend. Metaphors Lack Domain Orientation From the viewpoint of the HCI community, it seems to be desirable to completely separate the user interface and the application [88]. In terms of user interfaces, the universe of computer applications seems to be reducible to a set of interface objects such as buttons, windows, and menus. In this scheme the application independent spatial metaphor serves as an access mechanism to application specific functionality. We (the ....

....Traditionally, the task of creating an application is divided into the creation of abstract application functionality and the design of a user interface. User Interface Management Systems (UIMSs) are metatools endorsed by the human computer interaction community to create user interfaces [34, 88]. UIMSs are shallow in the sense that they have only a very limited linkage to the application. A UIMS controls the layout of user interface widgets such as buttons, scrollers, and menus. These widgets, in turn, are linked by the UIMS user to application code. The semantics of the coupling between ....

We are particularly interested in a graphical WYSIWYG interface builders and better tools to manage the object libraries (e.g. a version control system and a graphical object browser) We need both tools to help construct interfaces visually (such as Ibuild [25] or SUIT[16]) and mechanisms to help specify the binding of application to interface (such as the comments in Mickey [13] Finally, we are investigating finer grained sharing that would be available through nested forms. For example, a nameand address block might be defined and then included in several ....

Thus for reasonably large images (and assuming that the message buffers fit in physical memory) sequences of MAVIS instances run nearly as quickly as the equivalent C code. The MAVIS user interface was implemented using SUIT, the Simple User Interface Toolkit [12]. SUIT is a software toolkit that supports rapid prototyping of user interfaces and permits extensive customization of interfaces by the interactive user. SUIT is distinguished by an extraordinarily rapid learning curve compared with standard X widget sets and toolkits. Its ease of use and its ....

The MERLIN application is written in C and sits on top of both the VEIL library and the SUIT user interface toolkit [9]. The user manipulates graphs in the MERLIN work area by adding or deleting functions (nodes) and connections (arcs) and by specifying attributes for functions that require them. Graphs can also be written to or read from files, and saved MERLIN files can be loaded into arbitrary C programs ....
