Morphic (software)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Morphic is an interface construction environment which uses graphical objects called "Morphs" for simplified

GUI-building which allow for flexibility and dynamism. It was originally created for Self, but later, was ported to other programming languages like Squeak, JavaScript, Python, and Objective-C
.

History

Morphic was originally developed by Randy Smith and John Maloney for the Self programming language.[1]

Usage

Morphic is used in

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). On a higher abstraction level Morphic is also used in the enterprise performance management toolkit of doCOUNT, based on Ruby on Rails. In order to serve as basis for the Snap! (formerly BYOB), a Morphic environment called Morphic.js[2] was written in JavaScript by Jens Mönig using only the HTML5 Canvas APIs. Morphic is the basis for the standard user interface of Squeak and Pharo Smalltalk
