This directory contains the library and header file for the FORMS
library by Mark Overmars, which is a GL based GUI toolkit. The
source-code to FORMS is available via anonymous ftp on the Internet
from
glaurung.physics.mcgill.ca
The enclosed library and header files contain several patches that we
have made to the FORMS 2.0 distribution:
* Recognize input focus in newly created windows. Without this, a
file-browser popup may not accept keyboard input until you move
the cursor out of and back into it.
* For memory efficiency only; 64K of extra uninitialized-data space
is permanently held by the program.
* Addition of a 4D input widget; used by the "4dview" geomview
module (distributed separately from geomview).
We are planning to package these patches and distribute them in our
ftp directory on geom.umn.edu but they are not ready at the moment [
Sept 4 1992 ]. They should appear there soon.
If you are interested in obtaining them in the meantime please contact
us at software@geom.umn.edu.
