“…Below, conform this scheme, two such GEC τ s are created in the function apply2GECs such that the call-back function of GEC A employs GEC B. With these definitions, apply2GECs toBalancedTree [1,5,2,8,3,9] pst, results in two GEC τ s. One for a [Int], and one for a Tree Int. Assuming that toBalancedTree is a function that transforms a list into a balanced tree, any change made by the user to the displayed list 6 will automatically result into a corresponding re-balanced tree being displayed (see Fig.…”

Abstract. It is important to be able to program GUI applications in a fast and easy manner. Current GUI tools for creating visually attractive applications offer limited functionality. In this paper we introduce a new, easy to use method to program GUI applications in a pure functional language such as Clean or Generic Haskell. The method we use is a refined version of the model-view paradigm. The basic component in our approach is the Graphical Editor Component (GECτ ) that can contain any value of any flat data type τ and that can be freely used to display and edit its value. GEC τ s can depend on others, but also on themselves. They can even be mutually dependent. With these components we can construct a flexible, reusable and customizable editor. For the realization of the components we had to invent a new generic implementation technique for interactive applications.
