Garnet

1. A graphical object editor and Macintosh environment.

2. A user interface development environment for Common Lisp

and X11 from The Garnet project team. It helps you create

graphical, interactive user interfaces.

Version 2.2 includes the following: a custom object-orientedprogramming system which uses a prototype-instance model.

automatic constraint maintenance allowing properties of

objects to depend on properties of other objects and be

automatically re-evaluated when the other objects change. The

constraints can be arbitrary Lisp expressions. Built-in,

high-level input event handling. Support for gesturerecognition. Widgets for multi-font, multi-line,

mouse-driven text editing. Optional automatic layout of

application data into lists, tables, trees or graphs.

Automatic generation of PostScript for printing. Support

for large-scale applications and data visualisation.

Also supplied are: two complete widget sets, one with a

Motif look and feel implemented in Lisp and one with a

custom look and feel. Interactive design tools for creating

parts of the interface without writing code: Gilt interface

builder for creating dialog boxes. Lapidary interactive

tool for creating new widgets and for drawing

application-specific objects. C32 spreadsheet system for

specifying complex constraints.

Not yet available: Jade automatic dialog box creation system.

Marquise interactive tool for specifying behaviours.
