The Generated Reusable Ada Modifiable Machine Interface (GRAMMI)
is an Ada user-interface toolkit that supports construction of
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using the X-Windows system.
GRAMMI's toolkit consists of a user-interface editor, a GRAMMI
application environment, a software-generation utility, and a
library of graphical components or widgets. With GRAMMI, a user
interactively builds the required screens and generates necessary
Ada code to implement the user interface. By interactively building
the user interface, the developer can do rapid prototyping and
evolutionary development of Ada user-interface software. Interfaces
built using GRAMMI support all the features of Ada, including
the use of multiple Ada tasks to manipulate the user-interface
components without conflicts. Host/Target: Available on Sun4
(SPARC) using SunAda 1.11
on Silicon Graphics using SGI Ada 4.1
on HP 9000 using Alsys Ada
and on SCO UNIX using Alsys Ada.
Heragraph is a graphics framework that enables development
of interactive 2D/3D graphics applications. Use of Heragraph's
reusable graphical objects, Motif-style user-interface components,
and application framework allows developers to concentrate on
the application rather than the graphics primitives. Written
in Ada, Heragraph provides a LISP interpreter to facilitate rapid
prototyping. All of the Ada functionality of Heragraph is available
from the LISP interpreter
however, the user is free to prototype
strictly in Ada. The user interface for the application can be
ported from X-Windows to DOS or vice versa by recompiling on the
new platform. Host/Target: Available for 386- or 486-based PC
with Alsys Ada
Sony NEWS with Alsys
Sun 4 (SPARC) with Alsys,
