Abstract

Building environments that use visual techniques (visual environments) is still expensive in labor. 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.
