Abstract

This article presents SMCanvas, an extension of the Java Swing toolkit dedicated to prototyping and teaching graphical interaction. SMCanvas uses a simplified scene graph for rendering and state machines for interaction. The use of polymorphism and reification helps combine ease of use and power of expression. We describe our experience of using SMCanvas with Master level students for programming advanced interactions, and propose to evaluate user interface tools with benchmarks.
