DESCRIPTION
BGUI is a graphical user interface library, written by Ian J. Einman,
for the Amiga computer which allows for easy, flexible and fast GUI
creation. It is based on BOOPSI (Basic Object-Oriented Programming
System for Intuition) and consists of a single shared library which
is easy to install.
- Programmers:
* BGUI gives you the ability to easily create automatically font
sensitive and resizable windows. You won't use gadtools.library
again!
* BGUI handles input and notification; your application can almost
run by itself.
* BGUI has been used for many projects, and is well tested and
developed. There are many other experienced programmers who can help
you get started.
* BGUI interfaces can adapt to user preferences, and localize
themselves.
* BGUI comes with enough object classes to get you going, and third
parties have written classes as well. Example source is included to
show you how to write your own.
* BGUI is free! No license or fees required for shareware or commercial
usage.
- Users:
* BGUI interfaces are font sensitive, resizable, often localized, and
can adjust to your preferences.
* BGUI has far smaller memory and disk requirements than other GUI
systems, while retaining the most important features.
* Many BGUI applications include everything you need to get started,
there is rarely a need to obtain yet another file.
* BGUI is free!
