Motif

Volume 6B, Motif Reference Manual, is a complete programmer's reference for the Motif toolkit. The Motif toolkit provides a complete set of widgets, such as buttons, scroll bars, menus, and dialog boxes, for developing graphical user interfaces. It also includes a library of functions for creating and manipulating those widgets. This book includes reference pages for the widget classes defined by the Motif toolkit and the X Toolkit Intrinsics that describes the widget's functionality, including its new and inherited resources, callback routines, and translations. It also provides documentation on all of the Motif functions and macros that create and manipulate widgets and other Motif data types, such as compound strings and render tables. This book is the only Motif reference a programmer needs.

The Motif Programming Manual describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF). The book goes into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples that will help programmers to develop their own code. Anyone doing Motif programming who doesn't want to have to figure it out on their own needs this book.

Listen to any master musician improvise a solo and you’ll hear a series of musical themes being introduced, developed and then resolved. The process is called motivic development and the themes are referred to as motifs. Motifs are very much a staple of Robben Ford’s creative palette, “Motifs are not only important, they are indispensable in making any kind of music. You can use them for your rhythm playing, use them to develop a solo, a phrase thats played in a different octave, a note thats repeated, some kind of pattern thats established with the use of a note. Motifs are really at the heart of improvisation.”
