From 0f6f19899933fae080b85a34af550ed0e19b7c8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: agc Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 22:28:31 +0000 Subject: Initial import of piewm-1.02 into the NetBSD Packages Collection. Although the computer screen is two-dimensional, today most users of windowing environments control their systems with a one-dimensional list of choices -- the standard pull-down or drop-down menus such as those found on Microsoft Windows, Presentation Manager, or the Macintosh. An alternative user-interface technique is "pie" menus - two-dimensional, circular, and in many ways easier to use and faster than conventional linear menus. Pie menus also work well with alternative pointing devices such as those found in stylus or pen-based systems. piewm is a virtual window manager based on tvtwm, which uses pie menus. --- wm/piewm/DESCR | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) create mode 100644 wm/piewm/DESCR (limited to 'wm/piewm/DESCR') diff --git a/wm/piewm/DESCR b/wm/piewm/DESCR new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..e66dff8a130 --- /dev/null +++ b/wm/piewm/DESCR @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +Although the computer screen is two-dimensional, today most users of +windowing environments control their systems with a one-dimensional +list of choices -- the standard pull-down or drop-down menus such as +those found on Microsoft Windows, Presentation Manager, or the +Macintosh. + +An alternative user-interface technique is "pie" menus - +two-dimensional, circular, and in many ways easier to use and faster +than conventional linear menus.
