- Subject: HOW TO: Creating a Resizable GUI

- Summary: A Usenet Publication for Amiga Users
- Keywords: walrus,gui,layout,engine,resizable
-
- Due to a few requests on the topic, I took the time to create the following
- document to serve as a sort of tutorial for what I call "hand-crafting" a
- freely resizable GUI based on Intuition and GadTools. It is not a ready to
- run layout engine like MUI, but a methodology to achieve the same core of
- flexibility without the overhead that less necessary features require.
-
- Consider this a gift. If you don't agree with my opinions or with what I
- present here, then ignore it. I am doing this because I believe that it
- may help create more flexible software. I invite public discussion of this
- stuff, but do not know how much time I have to participate to any extent.
-
- Enjoy!
