Winteracter For Absoft Pro Fortran!

Winteracter

GUI Toolset for Fortran 90/95

Winteracter is a Fortran 9x user interface & graphics toolset, which enables scientists and engineers to implement a modern graphical user interface, within a familiar Fortran-specific context. Available for use with Absoft Pro Fortran on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, it comprises a comprehensive subroutine library and an extensive set of visual development tools. The Winteracter calling interface is totally Fortran based, eliminating the need to resort to compiler specific features, mixed language programming or low level API calls. The same calling interface is supported across all platforms/compilers, allowing a single codebase to target multiple operating systems.

Subroutine Library

The Winteracter library contains several hundred Fortran callable routines, covering a wide range of GUI functionality:

Window management
Messages (events)
Menus and toolbars
Dialogs
Grid controls
Text editor windows
Common dialogs
Graphics primitives
Graphics hardcopy/export
Graphics import
Graphical input
Presentation graphics (numerous 2D/3D plot types)
Memory bitmaps/metafiles
3D Modelling
OpenGL
Operating system interface
ODBC database interaction
Clipboard access
Information functions
Date/time manipulation
Zlib compression
Help file access

Visual Tools

In addition to a comprehensive user-interface and graphics library, Winteracter also includes a substantial set of visual development tools:
