Topic: Motif (widget toolkit)


  
 Motif (widget toolkit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Motif (or capitalized MOTIF) is a graphical widget toolkit for building graphical user interfaces under the X Window System on UNIX and other POSIX-compliant systems.
Motif was created by the Open Software Foundation (and was sometimes even called OSF/Motif) but is nowadays owned by The Open Group.
This was in vogue, however, as Microsoft Windows 3.x had added a 3D effect and Motif on UNIX was increasingly seen as a competitor to Microsoft on Intel personal computers.

 Widget toolkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This framework is a wrapper for the Windows API (Win32API), and not an independent toolkit.
In computer programming, widget toolkits (or GUI toolkits) are sets of basic building elements for graphical user interfaces.

 GTK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Initially created for the graphics program The GIMP, the GIMP toolkit — abbreviated GTK+ — is one of the two most popular widget toolkits for the X Window System, intended for creating graphical user interfaces.
Licensed under the LGPL, GTK+ is free (and open source) software, and is part of the GNU Project.
There are engines emulating the look of other popular toolkits or platforms, like Windows 95, Motif, Qt or NEXTSTEP.

 Motif Programming Manual (Volume 6A): 3 - Overview of the Motif Toolkit
The widget hierarchy is flattened out so that it appears to the user that all of the controls in a window are at the same level.
Motif provides convenience routines for creating all of the different styles, so they are often referred to as if they are distinct widget classes.
In Xt, a widget is envisioned as a self-contained object that is designed to serve a specific, clearly-defined function.

 GUI toolkits: What are your options? - SunWorld - March 1998
Motif is so ubiquitous that many Unix users confuse it with GUI operations or window managers, or other pieces of technology, and speak as if Motif is the only GUI foundation or toolkit.
The toolkits described here are best for office automation projects, graphical information system (GIS) jobs, GUIfication of legacy programs, system administration utilities that are easy to run, and so on.
Qt is a shareware toolkit perhaps best known for its role in the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

 Kenton Lee: Indirect OSF/Motif Widget Resources
Whenever you have a problem with a widget's configuration, the first place you should look for help is, of course, the documentation for the particular widget on which you are working.
Motif man pages are part of OSF's Motif source code distribution and most commercial Motif binary distributions.
Resources are the most important programming interface to Motif widgets, but resource documentation is often indirect and can be hard to find if you do not know where to look.

Since resources are the primary programming interface to the X Toolkit and Motif, I thought one more column on the subject would be helpful.

 Standard Widget Toolkit
For example, the OSF/Motif 2.1 widget toolkit does not contain a tree widget, so SWT provides an emulated tree widget on Motif 2.1 that is API compatible with the Windows native implementation.
The Swing toolkit attempts to address this problem by providing non-native implementations of high level widgets like trees, tables, and text.
For example, the plugin.xml markup for UI contributions specifies menu and toolbar content without requiring any SWT programming.
