Package ucb.gui Description

Provides the classes needed to implement a simple graphical user interface, containing buttons, a menu bar, simple canvases allowing arbitrary graphics and responding to the mouse or keyboard, and modal dialogs and messages. The class TopLevel provides top-level displayable windows. Typically, you will extend this class and use its constructor for your extension to set up menus, buttons, etc., and to arrange the necessary callbacks that happen when these items are clicked. Your main program creates a new instance of the extended class, and uses its display method to make it appear. The class TopLevel allows you to add Widgets (or rather, objects that extend this class). The only Widget currently provided is the Pad, which is by default a blank area the is sensitive to mouse and keyboard actions. Typically, you will extend Pad to provide whatever functionality you want. The class LayoutSpec encapsulates information needed to place items into a TopLevel. You provide either a LayoutSpec a set of arguments for its constructor whenever you add something to the TopLevel.
