Motif Programming Manual This book describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Opt-n Software Foundation (OSF). The book goes into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples that will help programmers to develop their own code. There is no other book that covers the ground as thoroughly or as well. In addition to information on Motif, the book is full of tips about programming in generál, and about user interface design. Contents include: • An introduction to the Motif programming model, how it is based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics, and how it differs from them. • Chapters on each of the Motif widget classes, explaining them in depth, with useful examples that will help you to improve your own code. For example, the chapter on menüs shows how to develop utility functions that generalize and simplify menu creation.

All of the code shown in the book is available free of charge over the Internet or via UUCP. • Complete quick reference appendices on Motif functions, widgets, and gadgets. This one book can serve both your tutorial and reference needs. The book assumes competence with the C programming language, as well as familiarity with fundamental X Window System concepts. Fortunately, the Motif Programming Manual is not only the most comprehensive guide to writing applications with Motif, it is an integrál part of the most widely-used series of books on X as a whole. It complements and builds upon the earlier books in the X Window System series from O'Reilly & Associates, as well as on OSFs own Motif Style Guide. Vissza
