	GUI Builder Tools
		Two examples of GUI builder tools are given in some detail to give a feel what they look like and what their features are.
		Interface tools allow the designer to create dialog boxes, menus and windows that are to be part of a larger user interface.
		This should allow the user interface to change without affecting the application, and a large class of changes to the application should be possible without affecting the user interface.

		The interface layout is created by dragging widgets from a palette onto a layout area, or table, originally consist- ing of blank rows and columns.
		The user interface style is a combination of a spreadsheet, where entries are arranged in rows and columns, and a drawing program, where items are selected from a palette and displayed in a draw- ing area.
		The user interface builder makes use of the new after idle[3] construct in Tk 4.0 to maintain a cache of relevant information when the application is idle.

	Leopard Technology Series for Developers
		Interface Builder is the intuitive, easy-to-use tool for creating and editing user interface resources files (nib files).
		These files represent a set of interface objects and their relationships, as well as their connections to your application’s logic.
		In Leopard, Interface Builder has been thoroughly modernized and updated, both to support the new interface technologies in Leopard as well as to make the applications you develop easier than ever to build.

		Interface Builder may ask if you want to insert the file into your project; you usually confirm by clicking Yes.
		Interface Builder can store the details of kit objects and objects that you palettize (static palettes), but it does not know how to archive instances of your custom classes since it doesn't have access to the code.
		Interface Builder initially sets the text in most of these objects to the name of the object itself (such as "Button" or "Text").

	Interface Builder
		Developers can use Interface Builder to create user interfaces that follow the Mac OS X human-interface guidelines by dragging user-interface elements from a palette of predefined controls and dropping them into the window or view they are configuring.
		Interface Builder works closely with Xcode to provide a development experience that facilitates the concurrent but specialized development of an application's user interface and business logic.
		Interface Builder makes creating an application's user interface easier by allowing developers to use its graphical editing environment to manage virtually every aspect of creating a well designed user interface that adheres to the Aqua user interface guidelines.

	Reimagining Interface Development: The Fluency Interface Builder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Apple's Interface Builder tries to do that, but it is still largely for programmers; it is also not portable, not open-source, and it uses proprietary files.
		Interface programming today is like programming in an object-oriented language while relying on a hierarchical database for storage---programmers spend most of their time translating between the two formats, and the resulting code is bulky, buggy, and fragile.
		Users might take turns controlling their shared interface by changing which user Widget is linked to a Pipe that acts to pass on 'user Events' to the rest of the interface, or the interface might be divided into sets of Widgets that each user independently controls.

		Interface Builder's technique of direct manipulation of programming objects is not limited to objects defined in OpenStep.
		Interface Builder's palettes are extensible, letting you load palettes containing objects that you or other developers have created.
		Interface Builder's application programming interface (API), which allows you to create custom palettes, is described in detail in Appendix B, "Interface Builder Application Programming Interface," Appendix C, "Interface Builder API Classes," Appendix D, "Interface Builder API Protocols," and Appendix E, "Interface Builder API Types and Constants."

	InterfaceBuilder
		Interface Builder's Menu palette supplies an Info menu item that, when dragged to your application's main menu, reveals a submenu containing a Help menu item.
		Interface Builder's primary value as a development tool is that it lets you interact directly with the objects that will make up your application.
		For example, when you double-click a window icon in the File window, Interface Builder's window editor is invoked and brings the actual window to the front.

	The UseIt Interface Builder
		Many human-computer interface experts advise that a program should never warp the pointer because the pointer should be under the control of the user.
		The user interface is a way to inspect the internal model and to perform operations on it [10].
		It would be possible to redesign the user interface of a program to use sound and touch and to effectively present the internal model of the program.

	The Java Perspective: Cocoa's Interface Builder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Interface Builder is an integral part of the development process on Cocoa.
		Interface Builder approaches GUI design in a way that is quite foreign to a Java developer.
		When you drag and drop a button onto a window in Interface Builder, the underlying code actually instantiates that button and places it on the GUI.

	Encyclopedia: Carbon (computing)
		While a software project may exclusively use one or the other, in practice it is often necessary to use elements of both.
		Carbon is more versatile in that it may be accessed using C, C++, Pascal, Ada, or any other language with suitable interface headers, whereas Cocoa exclusively uses Objective C and Java.
		A higher level approach may be taken with Carbon by using an application framework built on it, for example MacApp, Metrowerks Powerplant or MacZoop.

	Appendix: Interface Builder
		Interface PICTs are always drawn and displayed in a rectangle, but by using the Mask, you can build interfaces with irregular and interesting shapes.
		If the interface you are designing is very small, it is recommended that you select an existing item before creating a new one, to help Interarchy Interface Builder set a correct size and position.
		Note: The inactive state of an interface (that is, when the Interarchy application is in the background) is not 'simulated' in Interarchy Interface Builder.

		Open (Ctrl+O) Note: Available only when an interface is not present on your display (for example, when you first startup Builder Xcessory, or when you select New).
		When Builder Xcessory attempts to Open the selected file, it may display a warning dialog with the message "Name conflict between loaded style and new style".
		Builder Xcessory generates a backup file whenever it overwrites an existing UIL file.

	ViewKit Library Technical Report: Using Interactive Development Tools with the ViewKit Framework (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Using a builder allows a programmer to show a realistic prototype of an interface to potential users before committing the design to code.
		Once a programmer has generated code for a builder- produced interface, the code cannot be modified if the builder is to be used to alter the interface at a later time.
		The C code produced by most builders tends to be monolithic - all the code required to generate the entire user interface is typically placed in a single function, which is seldom a desirable architecture for real applications.

	Strange Interface Builder hacks - macosx.com - Mac Support
		It's not as nice as Interface Builder, but ResEdit actually used to be one of the main tools for doing visual programming on the Mac - You use it to define and draw dialog boxes, menus, etc, and then refer to those resources in the code.
		Interface Builder and.nibs are really just a much more advanced version of this.
		What the Action-Target paradigm of Interface Builder means is that the relationships between objects is what's important.

	VIB: A Visual Interface Builder for Icon; Version 3
		VIB follows the standard Icon convention in which the upper-left corner of the window is at (0, 0), with the x coordinate increasing to the right and the y coordinate increasing in the downward direction.
		There is one vidget for each interface object, indexed in the table by the ID name from the object's attribute sheet.
		While most interface objects translate events into values that have meaning to the application, events in a region are sent directly to the callback procedure.
