Thanks for the link. Very well done webpage.

I see that one can use Glade with Ada to design a GUI.

I think, for me, this was always easier to do,
than to layout components directly by writing code. So, good
to know this option is there. ofcourse one needs
to learn GTK Ada also to work with the generated code.

GUI designers can save much time. I now use Matlab,
and it has a nice GUI designer called GUIDE, which I
can use to make GUI's using it very fast, better than
having to code all that myself. Easier to move and change
things on the screen looking at things than using
some layout manager in the code, for me it is anyway.

btw, in your PDF files (very well done btw), the images
seem to not have sharp resolution on them. In PDF
I can zoom in to read the text on the images, but
at normal resolution (100%) or when I printed them,
the images are not sharp. Not sure how to added the
images to your document, but thought to mention this.

thanks again,
