| It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely |
| in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OpenStep |
| specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library has been |
| enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system. |
| These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, |
| popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated |
| classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images. |
| |
| The GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The first part is |
| the front-end component which is independent of platform and display |
| system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which |
| handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to |
| X/Windows. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the |
| "look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to |
| the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display |
| systems. |
| |
| The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the |
| GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end |
| component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend. |
