Hi,

I am looking for a graphical X11 application generator running under
linux/XFree1.2 ; something looking like HP Architect for HPView or
similar. I have get on sunsite SUIT and TK but they are libraries
and there is no generator...

Could somenone help ?
Thanks.

Cheers, Laurent.

Tk does have an interface builder... it is called xf. You
can find it on harbor.ecn.purdue.edu in /pub/tcl/code. I strongly
recommend it, as it is very well done, and offers some advantages
which most other GUI builder's cannot provide.

Get TCL/TK from sunsite and get:

harbor.ecn.purdue.edu:/pub/tcl/code/xf*

XF is a *very* nice interface builder written in TK to create TK code. It
allows you to modify your interface, bindings, etc *while* you are running
the application that you are creating. Extremely flexible stuff. There is
a little bit more of a learning curve than some of the other stuff, but
it's well worth the effort. It allows you to completely specify all of the
spatial constraints on every "widget" in your app.
