The Essential
Collection of Add-On Widgets and Utilities For Motif
XRT/gear 3.0 is a collection of
eleven widgets and three utilities, designed by Motif experts, that will
let you quickly build high-quality Motif user interfaces.
XRT/gear provides widgets that are
otherwise unavailable in Motif or greatly enhance those that already
exist. Now you can use Outliner/Tree interfaces, build folder and tab
dialogues and add pop-up spot help to your Motif applications. XRT/gear's
widgets let you inform users with progress meters, build toolbars filled
with colorful icons, or easily align widgets in a form.
Other XRT/gear widgets are improvements
on the standard toggle, label and pushbutton widgets. And XRT/gear lets
you easily output any Motif interface in PostScript.
Why build from scratch when you can
rely on XRT/gear's comprehensive collection of widgets for
cost-effective interface development?

Object-Oriented Extension to Motif
All XRT/gear widgets are based on the
open object-oriented architecture used by the Xt Intrinsics and OSF/Motif,
so they fit seamlessly into your X Window development environment.
The widgets are directly programmed
through resources, for example XtSetValues() and/or resource files. They
can also be programmed using UIL and C++ interfaces. And they can be
easily integrated into all popular GUI Builder tools.
Quality and
Features at a Reasonable Price
XRT Widgets have recently been
recognized with awards from The X Journal and The X Advisor. XRT/gear
continues in the XRT tradition of high-quality widgets with flexible
features at a reasonable price.
XRT/gear can be licensed for a single
development machine, or economically for a network-site, or even for
your entire organization. There are no run-time fees or royalties for
distributing end-user applications you build with any XRT products.
