The TRW Reusable Human Machine Interface (RHMI) provides Ada support for X Windows and Motif tools for rapidly designing, prototyping, and maintaining operator displays. RHMI provides a WYSIWYG point and click graphics interface based on X Windows / Motif and automates the on-line display screen integration process. Source code is generated for use in the application software. The application software developer then builds application software which implements the functions required to support the defined user interface. RHMI has reusable, high level runtime services that enable the application software to display data to the operator and accept operator inputs. The application software uses reusable software components supplied by the RHMI to both display information to the system user and to receive system user inputs. The RHMI hides the details and intricacies of the X Windows/ Motif interface from the application developer. In addition, RHMI provides a set of higher level display constructs (i.e., maps, X/Y plots, etc.) from which to implement the user interface.
IRIX version compatibility: 5.x, 6.x
