	Widget toolkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Widget toolkits must have a means to position the widgets in their containers.
		The simplest way to define their positions is by defining their absolute (on the screen) or relative (to the parent) position in pixels or common distance units, but it is also often possible to layout the widgets by their relative positions without using distance units (see layout manager).
		The Standard Widget Toolkit is a native widget toolkit for Java that was invented as part of the Eclipse project.

	Standard Widget Toolkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an alternative to the AWT and Swing Java GUI toolkits provided by Sun Microsystems as part of the Java standard.
		To display GUI elements, the SWT implementation accesses the native GUI libraries of the operating system using JNI (Java Native Interface) in a manner that is similar to those programs written using operating system-specific APIs.
		AWT (the Abstract Windowing Toolkit) was the first Java GUI toolkit, introduced with J2SE 1.0 as one component of the Sun Microsystems Java standard.

	BOOST_USER: BoostGUI
		Gui toolkit development has been discussed on the developer's mailing list a number of times over the years.
		Since you guys seem to be looking at the whole topic of GUI design, why not add http://superficial.sourceforge.net to your sources of inspiration.
		GUI libraries will always have specialized widgets, arbitrary graphics, deep operating system dependencies, different architectures; no GUI framework is good for everyone, so a "Boost::GUI" would be at best a popular option for specific tastes and needs, not a standard.

	Qt and PyQt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition (see Resources) shows how to design and develop a complete GUI application, from first idea to distribution.
		Anygui is actually not a GUI toolkit, but an abstract wrapper around a large number of toolkits (even surprising ones like curses and Java/Jython Swing).
		Beyond the wide variety of widgets the toolkit provides, the signals/slots programming style used by Qt allows for a greater productivity and maintainability than does the callback style used by most other GUI toolkits.

		All three classes of toolkit event targets (application, windows, and views) were mapped directly onto those GUIs that already allow individual entities to register their own event handlers.
		No software project is ever 100 percent successful, but by consistently applying toolkit design techniques, we met all of the goals described in the beginning of this article, and have implemented some or all of the toolkit on character-mode terminals, Microsoft Windows, Presentation Manager, Macintosh, X Window, and Motif.
		Credit for the toolkit belongs to: Ed Screven, who is chiefly responsible for the current design; Bruce Daniels, who provided the initial vision and inspiration; and all of the outstanding individuals who have nursed the toolkit through many revisions.

		An input device attached to the computer is used by the operator of the application to interact with the visual elements of the GUI which in turn cause some code within the application to execute.
		The GUI objects form the visual elements of the GUI that are seen by the application's user, and these are connected to the internal application code.
		While the GUI toolkits are similar in their design and function, their API's are most often quite dissimilar.

	wxPython, a GUI Toolkit \| Linux Journal
		For many developers, being able to choose the best tool for the task at hand, rather than being told which one to use, is an essential element of their quality of life, and Linux is a pleasant development environment.
		There is no lack of choice of GUI development systems or toolkits under Linux, and quite a few of them can be called portable, i.e., work on at least two different platforms, for example, Linux/UNIX+X11 and Windows.
		As it stands, wxPython probably cannot replace Tkinter as the default Python GUI tool, at least not until the Apple Macintosh port of wxWindows is completed and a stable release is made.

	Cameron Laird's personal notes on Python GUIs
		Reader Duane Voth rightly points out that one of the important dimensions for quick assessment of toolkits is their availability and usability on different platforms.
		Moreover, as Vadim Zeitlin writes, "unlike probably any other GUI toolkit, wxWindows developers are interested in making their toolkit useful to the Python community." The wxWindows development team certainly seems active, with progress in 1999 on many fronts (including MacOS, multimedia classes, GL,...).

	freshmeat.net: Category Reviews - GUI Toolkits for The X Window System
		The problem with Qt is that it was written with early C++ compilers in mind which didn't offer the capabilities Trolltech needed for their GUI toolkit, and today, one has to work with the slack.
		GUI toolkits often lend themselves to certain application spaces based on their features.
		The reason I'm responding to all this is because you stated that C/C++ GUI toolkits are no longer relevant given Java performance and that is wrong given the the scads of "real-world" evidence as well as benchmarks.

	Introduction to GUI Programming
		GUI applications tend to consist of a hierarchy of widgets/controls.
		There are many other GUI toolkits available but one of the most popular is the wxPython toolkit which is, in turn, a wrapper for the C++ toolkit wxWidgets.
		There is even a GUI builder for Tkinter called SpecTix, based on an earlier Tcl tool for building Tk interfaces, but capable of generating code in multiple languages including Python.

	Why Qt is your GUI toolkit of choice - openSUSE
		I could never get the hang of these weird scripting languages, and C and objects don't go too well together, so the choice was C++, and the standard GUI toolkit for the Linux C++ developer is Qt, or so I was told.
		I expected working with a GUI toolkit to be an awful pain in the ass, but throughout the development of my little application, whatever problem I encountered appeared to be astonishingly easy to solve using the Qt toolkit.
		These are just examples, Qt seems to offer an easy to use solution for next to every problem you are likely to encounter while developing a GUI application, and to many problems not specific to GUI development as well.

	GuiProgramming - PythonInfo Wiki

	GTK+ - The GIMP Toolkit
		By supporting the ATK interfaces, an application or toolkit can be used with such tools as screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
		Therefore, it is named "The GIMP Toolkit", so that the origins of the project are remembered.
		Today GTK+ is used by a large number of applications, and is the toolkit used by the GNU project's GNOME desktop.

	Intoduction to GUI Programming
		The principles in Tk are slightly different to other toolkits so I will conclude with a very brief look at another popular GUI toolkit for Python(and C/C++) which is more conventional in its approach.
		GUI applications tend to consist of a heirarchy of widgets/controls.
		There are many other GUI toolkits available but one of the most popular is the wxPython toolkit which is, in turn, a wrapper for the C++ toolkit wxWindows.

	Hans Muller's Blog: Official: Swing is the Dominant GUI Toolkit
		We're the new alpha male, we're the King Kong of GUI toolkits.
		The use of both Swing and AWT have grown dramatically in the last year and, quoting from the report, "Java GUI development is clearly experiencing substantial growth".
		Please note that Hans says "...Swing is the dominant GUI Toolkit for Northern American developers." not "...apps used daily around the world." Also, it states dominant GUI tollkit, not all end user apps.
