Subject: Re: Icon and GUI development
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@optima.CS.Arizona.EDU
Status: RO
I am personally doing some GUI development with icon. My development is
for Windows, and not UNIX however. There is a widget set available
(called vidgits) and a visual interface available (called the VIB Visual
Interface Builder) Personally I have never used TK/TCL so I can not
compare the ease of use. I have however used xforms and I find that the
VIB is very similar to it. Personally I don't use the VIB much because I
am developing for Windows and VIB creates GUI's that have a strong UNIX
feel for them. Instead, I use the graphics facilities to create my own
look and feel. (I do however use some of the Notice() vidgits at
times).
I have a tetris program that I am working on, but the source code is not
available as I am planning on making this into a commercial product
(sorry!). There are some uses of the notice boxes and a couple of other
vidgits in the program that you can see visually though if you would like
(plus it's just a fun game!)
you can download it from http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~cmcarthu/sdfftetris.htm
remember that this is intended for Windows! (Color map limitations have
made me decide not to work on a unix version)
I hope that this helps!
