Building User Interfaces with the LOOKS Hyper-Object System

  • Conference paper
Advances in Object-Oriented Graphics I

Part of the book series: EurographicSeminars ((FOCUS COMPUTER))

Abstract

In this chapter, we present the LOOKS system which is designed to support the construction of user interfaces for object-oriented database applications. The looks system provides high level capabilities to display and manipulate database objects interactively and to build end-user ↔ application dialogue based on object manipulation.
