一个用户界面生成工具UIGT的设计和实现

The Design and Implementation of a User Interface Generation Tool (UIGT)

本文基于扩充转移网和事件相混合的模型,描述用户界面的管理和并发性,设计并实现了一个用户界面生成工具UIGT.UIGT的核心是一个强有力的交互编辑环境和一个递归的自动生成工具;交互编辑完成对对话盒、正文窗口、图形窗口、复合图符、弹压菜单以及扩充模型等的灵活设计,自动生成则基于一组事件控制器,完成与各种不同要求的应用程序接口。目前,UIGT已成功地应用于几个集成系统的用户界面的设计。

This paper describes the management and the concurrency of user intefaces, designs and implements a user interface generation tool——UIGT based on ETN (Expansive Transition Network)/EVENT hybrid model. The kernel of UIGT is a pewerful environment of interactive edit and a recursive tool of automatic generation. The interactive editor accomplishes a flexible design of dialogue box, text window, graphic window, complexicon, pop-up menu, and expansive model etc., and the automatic generator employes a group of event controllers and implements the interfaces of application programs with various demands. Now, UIGT has successfully been used for the design of several integrated systems.
