On the other hand, if you are a widget developer, Tix provides an
|
|
object oriented programming environment, the Tix Intrinsics, that is
|
|
carefully designed for the development of mega-widgets. If you have
|
|
developed widgets in C, you will know how slow and painful such a
|
|
process would be. In recognition of the difficulties in widget
|
|
development, the Tix Intrinsics includes many tools that
|
|
dramatically cuts down the efforts required to develop new widgets.
|
|
With the Tix Intrinsics, the rapid prototyping/development of
|
|
widgets is finally feasible: you can write a new widgets in the
|
|
matter of hours or even minutes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
With the Tix Intrinsics, you widget code can readily become
|
|
reusable. Tix also provides a set of rules and mechanisms that
|
|
allow you to develop widgets that are inter-operable with other
|
|
widgets.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In Part I of this manual, we will talk about using the Tix widgets.
|
|
The discussion of writing new Tix widgets will be carried out in
|
|
Part II.
