Virtual control panels
Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and Craig Knelsen
Abstract
A virtual control panel is a collection of controls which are
graphically represented on a screen and can be operated
according to the direct manipulation paradigm. A control
management system makes it possible to interactively create
various control panels and interface them with arbitrary
applications. In this paper we describe functions which
should be supported by an interactive control management
system, and present a case study of a system which we have
designed and implemented on the Macintosh microcomputer.
