Amulet - User Interface Development Environment

More than just another free "virtual toolkit," Amulet includes many features specifically designed to make the creation of highly-interactive, graphical, direct manipulation user interfaces significantly easier. Based on a proven earlier system, called Garnet, that was in wide use in the Lisp community, Amulet adds a number of important innovations and refinements.

Important features of Amulet include:

• a dynamic, prototype-instance object system that makes prototyping easier
• automatic constraint solving integrated with the object system
• a "structured-graphics" model (also called a "display list") that handles automatic refresh of objects when the change
• a high-level input model that makes it easy to add behaviors to objects and also supports undo and help for operations
• a full set of flexible widgets implemented using the Amulet intrinsics, so you can easily experiment with your own widgets; and high-level interactive debugging tools. Widgets include:buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, menus, menu bars (pull-down menus), scroll bars, scrolling windows, and text input fields.
