GUI Frameworks
AmigaOS has a number of GUI frameworks (or toolkits) available. Many other GUI frameworks may exist but only the ones which are installed by default are documented here.
Each framework has its own strengths and weaknesses. Frameworks may also be combined and elements may even be shared between them. It is up to the programmer to choose the GUI framework that works best for their application and end customers.
The following GUI frameworks are installed and available by default on AmigaOS:
- Intuition
- GadTools
- BOOPSI
- ReAction
- MUI
Intuition
Up until Release 1.3, the only way to program a GUI on the Amiga was to use basic Intuition elements. Intuition is the collective name for the function libraries, data structures and other elements needed to create a graphical interface for Amiga applications. It is described more fully in the Amiga Graphical User Interface.
