Garnet
1. A graphical object editor and {Macintosh} environment.
2. A user interface development environment for {Common Lisp}
and {X11} from The Garnet project team. It helps you create
graphical, interactive user interfaces.
Version 2.2 includes the following: a custom {object-oriented
programming} system which uses a {prototype-instance model}.
automatic {constraint} maintenance allowing properties of
objects to depend on properties of other objects and be
automatically re-evaluated when the other objects change. The
constraints can be arbitrary Lisp expressions. Built-in,
high-level input event handling. Support for {gesture
recognition}. {Widget}s for multi-font, multi-line,
mouse-driven text editing. Optional automatic layout of
application data into lists, tables, trees or graphs.
Automatic generation of {PostScript} for printing. Support
for large-scale applications and data {visualisation}.
Also supplied are: two complete widget sets, one with a
{Motif} {look and feel} implemented in {Lisp} and one with a
custom {look and feel}. Interactive design tools for creating
parts of the interface without writing code: Gilt interface
builder for creating {dialog box}es. Lapidary interactive
tool for creating new {widget}s and for drawing
application-specific objects. C32 {spreadsheet} system for
specifying complex {constraint}s.
Not yet available: Jade automatic dialog box creation system.
Marquise interactive tool for specifying behaviours.
