About GTK+
GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.
Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off projects to
complete application suites.
GTK+ is Free Software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing
terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary
software, without any license fees or royalties.
GTK+ is based on three libraries developed by the GTK+ team:
- GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis of GTK+ and GNOME.
It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality
as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
- Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on
internationalization. It forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0.
- The ATK library provides a set of interfaces for accessibility. By supporting the ATK interfaces, an
application or toolkit can be used with such tools as screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages
such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the
Glade GUI builder provides an effective method of rapid application development.
Please note that GTK+ for Win32 is currently still in beta state. A release-quality version will be available when the next version is out.
