Abstract

This chapter describes an object-oriented framework for building direct-manipulation user interfaces. Based on the concept of “mode”, the framework extends the Model-View-Con†roller (MVC) paradigm to accommodate an orthogonal design. It provides a clean structure for the user interface components and increases their reusability.
