Morphic (software)
Morphicis an interface construction environment which uses graphical objects called "Morphs" for simplifiedGUI-building which allow for flexibility and dynamism. It was originally created forSelf,but later, was ported to other programming languages likeSqueak,JavaScript,Python,andObjective-C.
History[edit]
Morphic was originally developed by Randy Smith and John Maloney for theSelfprogramming language.[1]
Usage[edit]
Morphic is used inLively Kernel,a web programming environment underMIT License(originally developed bySun Microsystems) which is written inJavaScriptand HTML5 /Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG). On a higher abstraction level Morphic is also used in the enterprise performance management toolkit of doCOUNT, based onRuby on Rails.In order to serve as basis for theSnap!(formerly BYOB), a Morphic environment called Morphic.js[2]was written inJavaScriptby Jens Mönig using only the HTML5 Canvas APIs. Morphic is the basis for the standard user interface ofSqueakandPharoSmalltalk.
