- About GTK
-
Initially, the
Gimp ToolKit
had been created to serve as an underlying X-toolkit for
Gimp, a powerful raster graphics drawing
program. GTK itself is based onto three libraries:
glib, which provides basic object types, such as lists, hashes,
trees and re-casted basic types, gdk, which provides methods
to draw simple and advances objects, and, last and not least,
gtk, which implements certain widget classes, callback mechanisms
and support functions. The new version of GTK, GTK+, makes use
of object orientated entities and more flexible callback mechanisms
as well as hierarchical widget classes.
GTK may be used to implement powerful, full-featured
applications similar (but superior and more elegant) to
Xt and Motif. However, unlike Xt, GTK's GUI looks beautiful
and may be customized in a large number of ways.
Unlike Motif, GTK is free that is, you may use and distribute it
without any fees and costs.
