XFORMS(5)

NAME
xforms - Forms Library, A GUI Toolkit for X

SYNOPSIS
There is no command per se and the Forms Library is too complex to be described in the "man" page format. Ask your system administrator for the location of the PostScript document.

DESCRIPTION
Forms Library is a graphical user interface toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. It comes with a rich set of objects such as buttons, browsers, sliders and menus integrated into an elegant event/object callback execution model that allows fast and easy construction of X applications. The library consists of a flexible set of C-routines that can be used in C and C++ programs. The library is efficient and portable and runs on all major Unix platforms as well PC platforms, including Sun, SGI, HP, DEC Alpha/OSF, IBM RS6000, Convex, Cray, Linux, DecSystem/Ultrix and others. Bundled with the library is also a Form designer, fdesign, which can be used to build interaction forms in a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) way and to generate the corresponding C code for you. 40+ demos in source code are distributed with the library.
