- GenGui V2.1
- ===========

-
-
-
- This package is for layout and creation of graphical user interfaces (GUI).
- Unlike some other programs like Gadtools, you do not draw your GUI just like
- in a paint-program, but you describe the GUI in a kind of description
- language. From this description GenGui generates a C-headerfile, wich
- is used by the runtime-part of this package to render the GUI to your window.
-
- The basic idea:
- ===============
- The description of the Gui is box oriented. Every box affects the size
- and position of the objects inside the box. A box has an orientation, which
- determines the positions of the objects in a box, in a vertical box the
- first object is on top and all other objects are below this one, in a
- horizontal box, the first one is on the most left side. Within a box every
- object can have a relative size, a size absolut in characters or a size
- absolut in pixels or a mixture of the last two. This object can be a new box,
- a gadget or a custom "gadget". This allows an easy generation of resizeable
- GUI's.
