GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to
|
|
the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but
|
|
still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces
|
|
created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user
|
|
interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists
|
|
and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be
|
|
used to control the layout of the user interface elements.
|
|
|
|
GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other
|
|
widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not
|
|
contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances
|
|
will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image
|
|
or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is
|
|
adhered to throughout the library.

GTK+-2.0 is a stable release, but many applications still require
|
|
GTK+-1.2, the previous stable version. You can have the runtime and
|
|
development environments for both GTK+-2.0 and GTK+-1.2 installed
|
|
simultaneously on your computer.
