<para>

The <command>&cmd;</command> interface designer enables you to create and edit

user interface designs for GTK+ applications.

</para>

<para>

The GTK+ library provides an extensive collection of user interface building

blocks such as text boxes, dialog labels, numeric entries, check boxes, and

menus. These building blocks are called <emphasis>widgets</emphasis>.

<command>&cmd;</command> allows you to modify the layout and properties of

these widgets. You can also use <command>&cmd;</command> to add connections

between widgets and application source code.

</para>

<para>

<para>

The user interfaces designed in <command>&cmd;</command> are stored in an XML

format, enabling easy integration with external tools. You can use the

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>libglade</refentrytitle>

<manvolnum>3C</manvolnum></citerefentry>

library to dynamically create GUIs from the XML description.
