What is the GNUstep GUI Backend? |
7 |
================================ |
8 |
|
9 |
It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The |
10 |
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The |
11 |
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform |
12 |
and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end |
13 |
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as |
14 |
specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep |
15 |
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display |
16 |
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be |
17 |
easily ported to other display systems. |
18 |
|
19 |
The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or |
20 |
Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the |
21 |
DPS functions required by the front-end system. |
