Graphical toolkits

A core foundation for Rapid Application Development, graphical toolkits in Ubuntu allow building extensible and usable user interfaces through a framework of widgets and an API to give you easy access to their full potential. With them, your application can integrate the widgets in its GUI and include usability, internationationalization and accesibility functionality out of the box.
