GTK+ Description

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces

Stability

GTK+ has been developed for over a decade to be able to deliver the enticing features and superb performance that it brings to your application development. GTK+ is supported by a large community of developers and has core maintainers from companies such as Red Hat, Novell, Imendio and Opened Hand.
Cross Platform

Originally GTK+ was developed for X Windows but it has grown over the years to include backend support for other well known windowing systems. Today you can use GTK+ on:

* GNU/Linux and Unix
* Windows
* Mac OS X

Mobile

The GMAE (GNOME Mobile & Embedded) initiative has advanced the use, development and commercialization of GNOME components as a mobile and embedded user experience platform. It has brought together industry leaders, expert consultants, key developers and the community and industry organizations they represent. As a direct result of this, GTK+ has features pertaining to mobile and embedded platform requirements.

GTK+ has been involved in a number of embedded initiatives over the past few years including the development of:

* Nokia 770 / N800 / N810
* One Laptop Per Child Project
* OpenMoko

Accommodating

GTK+ caters for a number features that today's developers are looking for in a toolkit, they include:

* Native look and feel
* Theme support
* Thread safe
* Object orientated approach
* Internationalization
* Localization
* Accessibility
* Bidirectional text support (LTR/RTL, Left To Right/Right To Left)
* UTF8 support
* Documentation

Interfaces

GTK+ has a comprehensive collection of core widgets which include:

* Windows (normal window or dialog, about and assistant dialogs)
* Displays (label, image, progress bar, status bar)
* Buttons and toggles (check buttons, radio buttons, toggle buttons and link buttons)
* Numerical (horizontal or vertical scales and spin buttons) and text data entry (with or without completion)
* Multi-line text editor
* Tree, list and icon grid viewer (with customizable renderers and model/view separation)
* Combo box (with or without an entry)
* Menus (with images, radio buttons and check items)
* Toolbars (with radio buttons, toggle buttons and menu buttons)
* UI Manager (creating menus and toolbars from XML)
* Selectors (color selection, file chooser, font selection)
* Layouts (tabulated widget, table widget, expander widget, frames, separators and more)
* Status icon (notification area on Linux, tray icon on Windows)
* Printing widgets
* Recently used documents (menu, dialog and manager)

Foundations

GTK+ is built on top of GLib. GLib provides the fundamental algorithmic language constructs commonly duplicated in applications. This library has features such as (this list is not a comprehensive list):

* Object and type system
* Main loop
* Dynamic loading of modules (i.e. plug-ins)
* Thread support
* Timer support
* Memory allocator
* Threaded Queues (synchronous and asynchronous)
* Lists (singly linked, doubly linked, double ended)
* Hash tables
* Arrays
* Trees (N-ary and binary balanced)
* String utilities and charset handling
* Lexical scanner and XML parser
* Base64 (encoding & decoding)

Language Bindings

Language Bindings (or 'Wrappers') allow GTK+ to be used from other programming languages, in the style of those languages. They are relatively easy to create because GTK+ is designed with them in mind.

These projects follow the GNOME Platform Bindings schedule, which guarantees API stability and time-based releases.

If this page happens to be out of date, envelope Contact the Language Bindings Team, but please ask language specific questions on the appropriate project's mailing list. This web page is in the gtk-web cvs module.
