Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 2nd edition, updated to cover Motif 1.2 and UIL ; stiff paper wrappers ; xlii, 972 pp. ; some illustrations ; describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation, whose toolkit is based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt) ; "The Motif Programmi…ng Manualis a source for complete, accurate, and insightful guidance on Motif application programming. There is no other book that covers the ground as thoroughly or as well as this one. The book has been updated to Motif 1.2, but is still usable with Motif 1.1. The Motif Programming Manualdescribes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF). The book goes into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples that will help programmers to develop their own code. Anyone doing Motif programming who doesn't want to have to figure it out on their own needs this book. In addition to information on Motif, the book is full of tips about programming in general and about user interface design. Contents include: An introduction to the Motif programming model, how it is based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics, and how it differs from them. Chapters on each of the Motif widget classes, explaining them in depth, with useful examples that will help you to improve your own code. For example, the chapter on menus shows how to develop utility functions that generalize and simplify menu creation. All of the code shown in the book is available free of charge over the Internet or via UUCP. Coverage of the drag-and-drop mechanism for transferring data. Two extensive examples show how to implement custom drag source and drop site functionality in a Motif application. A tutorial on UIL. The chapters on UIL describe all of the techniques used to create an interface with this prototyping tool. The numerous examples cover the basics and explore ways to use UIL to facilitate rapid prototyping. ,/ul> The book assumes competence with the C programming language, as well as familiarity with fundamental X Window System concepts." ; some splotching and staining of foredge, else G.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st edition, 2nd printing [with] minor corrections ; stiff paper wrappers ; xii, 908 pp. ; some illustrations ; contains reference material on the Motif toolkit to be used in conjunction with volume Six A, many reference pages mention related Xt routines ; "The Motif Reference Manualis a complete pro…grammer's reference for the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF). Motif has become the standard user interface for X Window System applications, and the Motif toolkit makes it easy for programmers to build applications that conform with the Motif "look and feel." Dan Heller's Motif Programming Manualhas long been considered the most authoritative and insightful work on Motif. Now, with the addition of this companion reference manual, programmers can dispense completely with the original OSF documentation. In addi- tion to covering the entire Motif toolkit, this book also covers OSF's "User Interface Language" or UIL, and the Motif Resource Manager (MRM) functions used to tie together applications with user interfaces defined in UIL. Contents include: Reference pages for all of the Motif functions and macros. Reference pages for the widget classes defined by the Motif toolkit and the X Toolkit Intrinsics. Reference pages for the Motif Resource Manager (Mrm) functions that are used in conjunction with UIL. Reference pages for the Motif clients: mwm, uil, and xmbind. Reference pages that describe the file format of a User Interface Language module. Reference pages for the data types supported by UIL. Reference pages for the User Interface Language functions. A permuted index and a regular index. A number of appendices and quick reference aids including a list of new functions, widget classes, and widget resources in Motif 1.2. This book is designed to be used with Volume 6A, Motif Programming Manual, which describes how to build applications using the Motif toolkit and provides a complete tutorial with programming examples" ; slight water stain to bottom edge up to about page 150 ; else G.
