Publisher's Synopsis
Addresses the question, "how do I use the Motif user interface toolkit if I am programming in C++?". The answer encompasses object-oriented programming and design techniques, user interface and design. The book also discusses how to co-ordinate the programming model supported by X and Motif with object-oriented programming models. Young explores each of these topics in various degrees, using the original idea of programming with Motif and C++ as the unifiying theme. He presents techniques for designing new types of software programs, and discusses common architecture for object-oriented, user-interface-intensive programs.;Going beyond examples that illustrate the mechanics of calling the Motif library from C++, Young centres each example around explanations of why the program is written as it is, emphasizing the thought process behind the design.
