This package is for layout and creation of graphical user interfaces (GUI).
Unlike some other programs like Gadtools, you do not draw your GUI just like
in a paint-program, but you describe the GUI in a kind of description
language. From this description GenGui generates a C-headerfile, wich
is used by the runtime-part of this package to render the GUI to your window.

The basic idea:
===============
The description of the Gui is box oriented. Every box affects the size
and position of the objects inside the box. A box has an orientation, which
determines the positions of the objects in a box, in a vertical box the
first object is on top and all other objects are below this one, in a
horizontal box, the first one is on the most left side. Within a box every
object can have a relative size, a size absolut in characters or a size
absolut in pixels or a mixture of the last two. This object can be a new box,
a gadget or a custom "gadget". This allows an easy generation of resizeable
GUI's.
