| Abstract | The Garnet User Interface Development Environment contains a comprehensive set of tools that make it significantly easier to design and implement highly-interactive, graphical, direct manipulation user interfaces. Garnet provides a high level of support, while still being Look-and-Feel independent and providing the applications with tremendous flexibility. The Garnet tools are organized into two layers. The toolkit layer provides an object-oriented, constraint-based graphical system that allows properties of graphical objects to be specified in a simple, declarative manner, and then maintained automatically by the system. The dynamic, interactive behavior of the objects can be specified separately by attaching high-level "interactor" objects to the graphics. The higher layer of Garnet includes an interface builder tool, called Lapidary, that allows the user interface designer to draw pictures of all graphical aspects of the user interface. The Garnet toolkit layer software is now available for distribution. It uses Common Lisp and the X window manager, and is therefore portable across a wide variety of platforms. This document contains an overview, tutorial and a full set of reference manuals for the Garnet Toolkit. |
