A GTK+-based implementation of the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library.
-This package contains the older 2.4 release.
wxWidgets is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to compile and
run on several different types of computer, with minimal source code changes.
-There is one library per supported GUI (such as Windows, GTK+, Motif, and
-Mac). As well as providing a common API (Application Programming Interface)
-for GUI functionality, it provides functionality for accessing some
-commonly-used operating system facilities, from copying and deleting files
-to socket and thread support. wxWidgets is a 'framework' in the sense that
-it provides a lot of built-in functionality, which the application can use
-or replace as required, thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data
-structures such as strings, arrays, linked lists and hash tables are also
-supported.

Such a toolkit is not unique - there are others to choose from - but wxWidgets
-is free, well-established, well-documented, and very broad in its coverage
-of GUI functionality. It has some extras that make it stand out from the
-crowd, such as the many convenience dialogs, built-in HTML display and
-printing, virtual filesystems, easy-to-use OLE automation controller class,
-Open GL support, and many other features that make it easier to write modern
-and user-friendly applications.

There is also a python interface available, wxPython (see the py-wxWidgets
package).
