Implementing Fudgets with Standard Widget Sets

  • Chapter
Book cover Functional Programming, Glasgow 1993

Part of the book series: Workshops in Computing ((WORKSHOPS COMP.))

Abstract

Carlsson and Hallgren [1] describe the implementation of a set of “functional widgets” (Fudgets): components for programming graphical user interfaces under the X window system using the non-strict functional programming language Haskell. We describe an alternative implementation based on existing widget sets (currently Openlook and Motif). Our purpose is twofold: to show that the Fudgets approach can be applied to existing widget sets; and to discuss problems experienced with Fudgets during an industrial case study.
