Description
Completely updated to cover Motif Release 1.2 and 2.0, this second edition shows how to design reusable user interface components based on Motif, and how C++ and Motif can be used together effectively. KEY TOPICS: Part I introduces the mechanics of using C++ and Motif with an emphasis on object- oriented techniques. Part II explores additional ideas for using Motif and C++, while developing a small library of useful classes that support applications based on Motif. MARKET: For application programmers.
