....Lapidary improves on the capabilities of these application builders by allowing all aspects of the dynamic presentation of an application to be pictorially specified, including the properties that should change at run time and the behaviors that objects should exhibit. Lapidary 6 Ibuild [46] goes beyond most interface builders in that it allows arbitrary toolkit elements or graphical components to be laid out and behaviors to be attached to these elements and components. For example, Ibuild can be used to create the presentation of a text editor, complete with scroll bars and ....
....is 2 changed, B. LEFT is not changed by the system) A number of interface and application builders allow the dynamic presentation of applications to be specified using constraints, including DialogEditor [3] vu [40] and Druid [41] A variant of constraints, called glue, is used in Ibuild [46]. In each of these systems, all of the elements of the interface that will be displayed at run time must be present when the constraints are applied. In contrast, Lapidary allows constraints to be demonstrated on example objects. Arbitrary numbers of these objects may then be created at run time, ....

....of the application building process. 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 ....

....Figure 4) Renderer defines a high level interface for displaying and changing graphical elements, thereby isolating visualizers from details of the underlying graphics system. Our prototype implementation uses the InterViews and Unidraw toolkits and ibuild interface builder to implement renderers [13, 18, 19]. We have developed several abstract subclasses of Visualizer. The matrix views in the Appendix are all simple extensions of MatrixVisualizer, a subclass for scatter plot visualizations. TimeChartVisualizer is a subclass for strip chart visualizations that map time to a spatial dimension. ....

....overwrites only the core class. The user s changes remain unaffected. Unless the user subsequently regenerates radically different code with the tool, the core subclass should continue to work with the new core class. This approach has been used successfully in ibuild, a user interface builder [17], and it should work in this context as well. There is however at least one case in which it does not work well, and that s when the user must incorporate generated code into an existing class hierarchy. This is usually not a problem for user interface builders, which generate code that s largely ....
