Objectifying Motif describes methods and techniques on ways to combine the power of object-oriented programming in C++ with GUI development under Motif. The book is a complete guide for both beginning and advanced O_O programmers on how to combine these two distinct paradigms to achieve the greatest benefit. Specifically, the reader will learn, step by step, to design and develop a portable GUI library based on X/Motif. Called MWL, the source code for this library is provided in an appendix to the book. MWL is a fully functional library derived from the author's years of experience and can be used as is. Specific highlights include: -an overview of X, Xt, and Motif -in-depth background information on the object-oriented paradigm and C++ for beginners -a complete working library -practical figures that help cement concepts and ideas For designers, developers, software engineers and academics, this book will prived techniques that can be reapplied to class design inother paradigms as well as a solid background in both Motif and O-O.
