Designing usable systems is difficult and designers need effective tools that are usable themselves. Effective design tools should be based on proven knowledge of design. Capturing knowledge about the successful design of usable systems is important for both novice and experienced designers and traditionally, this knowledge has largely been described in guidelines. However, guidelines have shown to have problems concerning selection, validity and applicability. Patterns have emerged as a possible solution to some of the problems from which guidelines suffer. Patterns focus on the context of a problem and solution thereby guiding the designer in using the design knowledge. Patterns for architecture or software engineering are not identical in structure and user interface design also requires its own structure for patterns, focusing on usability. This paper explores how patterns for user interface design must be structured in order to be effective and usable tools for designers. A structure for user interface design patterns is proposed and is illustrated with an example.
- Welcome to Eclipse 0
Eclipse is a platform that has been designed from the ground up for building integrated web and application development tooling By design, the platform does not provide a great deal of end user functionality by itself The value of the platform is what it encourages: rapid development of integrated features based on a plug-in model - User interface design. Bridging the gap from user requirements to design Wood L.E.
This book grew out of a workshop held at CHI'97 in Vancouver in April 1997 on "Transforming User-Centered Analysis into Concrete Design" The workshop was motivated by the lack of published accounts of how experienced designers use the results of user work/task analyses and other tools and resources to produce Graphical User Interface (GUI) designs (i - VHDL reference manual 0
This manual describes the VHDL portion of Synopsys FPGA Compiler II / FPGA Express, part of the Synopsys suite of synthesis tools FPGA Compiler II / FPGA Express reads an RTL VHDL model of a discrete electronic system and synthesizes this description into a gate-level netlist - Xr.Cross-device rendering for vector graphics Worth C.
Xr provides a vector-based rendering API with output support for the X window system, local image buffers and plans for PostScript and PDF files Xr is designed to produce identical output on all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration through the X Render Extension
