| Abstract : | Building environments that use visual techniques (visual environments) is still expensive in labour. In this paper we present an object--oriented framework for compound documents, called HotDoc, that can be used for building visual environments rapidly. We give an example by describing a user interface for an extended spreadsheet environment called Simple. We focus on spatial composition control which is supported in HotDoc by layout policies., |
