For documentation purposes, the MrEd toolbox is organized into three
|
|
parts:
|
|
|
|
@itemize{
|
|
|
|
@item{The @deftech{windowing} toolbox, for implementing form-filling
|
|
GUI programs (such as a database query window) using buttons, menus,
|
|
text fields, and events. The windowing toolbox is described in
|
|
@secref["windowing-overview"].}
|
|
|
|
@item{The @deftech{drawing} toolbox, for drawing pictures or
|
|
implementing dynamic GUI programs (such as a video game) using
|
|
drawing canvases, pens, and brushes. The drawing toolbox is
|
|
described in @secref["drawing-overview"].}
|
|
|
|
@item{The @deftech{editor} toolbox, for developing traditional text
|
|
editors, editors that mix text and graphics, or free-form layout
|
|
editors (such as a word processor, HTML editor, or icon-based file
|
|
browser). The editor toolbox is described in
|
|
@secref["editor-overview"].}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
These three parts roughly represent layers of increasing
|
|
sophistication. Simple GUI programs access only the windowing toolbox
|
|
directly, more complex programs use both the windowing and drawing
|
|
toolboxes, and large-scale applications rely on all three
|
|
toolboxes.
