GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to
|
|
|
|
|
the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but
|
|
|
|
|
still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user
|
|
|
|
|
interface widgets (*note Widgets::.) such as push, radio and check
|
|
|
|
|
buttons, menus, lists and frames. It also provides several "container"
|
|
|
|
|
widgets which can be used to control the layout of the user interface
|
|
|
|
|
elements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other
|
|
|
|
|
widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not
|
|
|
|
|
contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances
|
|
|
|
|
will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image
|
|
|
|
|
or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is
|
|
|
|
|
adhered to throughout the library.
