- Abstract:
-
- This paper describes IRIS ViewKit , a C++ application framework
- designed to simplify the task of developing applications based on the
- OSF/Motif(tm)user interface toolkit(1). IRIS ViewKit framework promotes
- consistency by providing a common architecture for applications and
- improves programmer productivity by providing high-level, and in many
- cases automatic, support for commonly-needed operations. In addition to
- providing facilities normally associated with a graphical user
- interface, the framework serves as a central integration platform for
- other facilities applications typically need. These include support for
- inter-application communication, integration with the Silicon Graphics
- Indigo Magic desktop, and automatic on-line context-sensitive help. The
- IRIS ViewKit framework is currently in wide use within Silicon Graphics
- and serves as the basis of all CASEVision(tm) software development
- products, the IRIS InSight(tm) on-line documentation product, the
- Indigo Magic(tm) Desktop, the InPerson(tm) desktop conferencing system,
- and many other products. IRIS ViewKit can also be used with the IRIS
- Inventor(tm) library, which is based in part on the ViewKit model.
