What is Motif and how does it relate to the X Toolkit
and X
Answer: Motif is a widely-accepted set of user interface guidelines
developed
by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) around 1989 which specifies how an X
Window System application should "look and feel". Motif includes the Motif
Toolkit (also called "Xm" or the "Motif widgets"), which enforce a policy
on
top of the X Toolkit Intrinsics ("Xt"). Xt is really a "mechanism not
policy"
layer, and Xm provides the specific "look and feel". For example, Xt does
not
insist that windows have titlebars or menus, but it provides hooks for
developers of specific toolkits (Motif, OpenLook, Athena widgets) to take
advantage of. In addition to widgets, Motif includes the Motif Style Guide
document (as well as several others listed in my FAQ) which details how a
Motif user interface should look and behave to be "Motif compliant".
