2.3 DECwindows Motif Programming Support
The DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS environment provides a consistent user
interface for developing software applications and includes an extensive set of
programming libraries and tools. You can use the following DECwindows Motif
software to build a graphical user interface:
• A user interface toolkit composed on graphical user interface objects (widgets
and gadgets); widgets provide advanced programming capabilities that permit
users to create graphic applications easily; gadgets, similar to widgets,
require less memory to create labels, buttons, and separators.
• A user interface language to describe visual aspects of objects (menus, labels,
and forms) and to specify changes resulting from user interaction.
• The OSF/Motif Window Manager, which allows users to customize the
interface.
The DECwindows Motif programming libraries provided include:
• Standard X Window System libraries such as Xlib and the Intrinsics
• Libraries needed to support the earlier base of XUI applications
• OSF/Motif toolkit support for developing applications using the Motif user
interface style
• Digital added-value libraries that give users capabilities beyond the standards
