ivtools is a layered collection of application frameworks for building
|
|
custom drawing editors and spatial data servers. It incorporates a
|
|
backward compatible copy of the original InterViews and Unidraw class
|
|
libraries and sample programs (from 3.2a.tar.Z), augmented with new
|
|
class libraries and sample programs for a wide variety of generic
|
|
spatial data applications.
|
|
|
|
ivtools comprises four sets of interrelated capabilities useful to
|
|
application programmers. The first set is the libraries and example
|
|
programs borrowed whole from InterViews 3.1. The second set is for
|
|
reusing and extending the light-weight glyph objects of InterViews 3.1
|
|
which embody a lot of the capability of TeX. The third set reuses and
|
|
extends the Unidraw library (Unidraw is a major portion of the overall
|
|
InterViews 3.1 release that provides an application framework for
|
|
custom drawing editors). The fourth set adds a command interpreter
|
|
and server mechanism to ivtools, and demonstrates these capabilities
|
|
with text, glyph, and graphic front-ends. To get more of an overview
|
|
of these layers you can read:
