| Abstract | Traditional Unix applications and tools in a graphical workstation
environment suffer at the hands of Unix's technical heritage. Most of them
available under Unix seem oriented toward command-line user interfaces. The
availability of cheap graphical workstations combined with the 'de facto'
standard X Window System is causing the emergence of new graphical
user interfaces to Unix. Replacing command- line interfaces with graphical
interfaces a l so provides the opportunity to standardize interfaces
across multiple applications.
FPI: Floor Planning System is the constraint solving system implemented
by CLP(R) programming language. This system uses command-line style
interfaces to interact with users. In this study, a graphical user interface
was designed and implemented to provide a user-friendly interface to the
FPI. The implementation was done on X Window System V11/R4. Advanced users
can directly update the CLP(R) programs while novice users may choose to
stay with the facilities provided by this GUI. |
