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). |
