....buttons, text fields, lists, etc. to contain other interactor objects. However, certain systems offer extended containment capabilities A Brick Construction Game Model for Creating Graphical User Interfaces: The Ubit Toolkit 3 (for instance: Gtk (Mattis, 1998) Fresco (Linton, 1994) Self Morphic (Maloney, 1995)) Applications constructed with Morphic are composite morphs whose submorphs can handle user input events. The Fresco toolkit is based on an advanced composition mechanism that allows the mixture of user interface components and structured graphics objects. Fresco objects derive from a ....

....loaded into Scribble, and Scribble s background menu. Figure 5. A prototype document. 4. Implementation details We considered several interface systems to underly the Scribble prototype. The SELF 4. 0 system would have been ideal in many ways, as it provides the Morphic interface framework [10] which is especially designed to produce minimal interfaces, and also supports multiple users. Unfortunately, SELF s resource requirements (a 64 MB Sparcstation) precluded its use for a lightweight tool. We also considered using a modern Smalltalk system (VisualWorks [15] incorporating an ....

.... requests to services that could take varying amounts of time to respond [Mack95] Chang and Ungar experimented with animation techniques in the user interface for the Self programming language [Chan93] Maloney and Smith also incorporate extensive animation in the Morphic user interface [Malo95]. Recently, Hendry and Harper described a system called SketchTrieve that reifies documents and services [Hend96] SketchTrieve uses much more of a dataflow flavor in its interactions than DLITE, and does not emphasize the variety of services. We will compare the systems in detail elsewhere. 11. ....

Other related systems include Self [13], ARK (Alternate Reality Kit) 14] and Xerox Rooms [15] Like virtual window managers such as fvwm [16] these systems present the user with a 2D planar data surface which is much larger than a single screen, and which the user navigates by panning or by clicking on an iconic map. However they ....

....and can be performed with less cognitive overhead. The notion of direct manipulation has been around for many years now, and it is interesting to note that some of the earlier prototype based systems were visual programming environments [BD81] Smi87] The current Self user interface [SMU95] [MS95] enhances the sense of direct manipulation by employing two principles we call structural reification, and live editing. We will define these principles, and show with an example how the interface brings the feeling of direct object experience to the task of creating objects and assembling ....
....of structural reification arises from the approach to submorph layout. Graphical user interfaces often require that subparts be lined up in a column or row. Self s graphical elements are organized in space by layout objects that force their submorphs to line up as rows or columns. John Maloney [MS95] has shown how to create efficient row and column morphs as children of the generic morph. These objects are first class, tangible elements in the interface. They embody their layout policy as visible parts of the submorph hierarchy, so the user need only be able to access the submorphs in a ....
