Notes
about the Gilt Interface Builder in the Garnet user interface development environment.
abstract ;;Quote: toolkits for user interfaces require call-backs for every widget, many trivial; hard to maintain
abstract+;;Quote: with Gilt, specify most widget call-backs by demonstration; part of Garnet
211 ;;Quote: call-backs in a user interface tie the application code to a toolkit; small interface changes often require many rewritten call-backs
211 ;;Quote: user interface call-backs often use text labels for arguments; must edit the code if the natural language changes
211 ;;Quote: many user interface call-backs filter values from widgets, interconnect widgets, perform error checking, or control the display
212 ;;Quote: with Gilt, specify filter expressions for user interface widgets by demonstration or icon selection; filters implemented by constraints
