GTK+ (hereafter gtk) is a cross-platform GUI framework that was created in C. Being cross-platform, applications that are developed using gtk can run on all major platforms, such as Windows, Linux, or MacOS. The gtk project was originally created to develop GIMP, image manipulation software for Linux, and was later open sourced. gtk is also used by many other software projects, such as the Gnome desktop environment on many Linux distributions, which uses it for building its utility software. Architecture-wise, gtk is composed of several libraries that work together to handle various details that are needed to render and facilitate interaction with windows and widgets by the user in the application. Some of these components are as follows:
- GLib: This is the basic core library and provides several data structures, wrappers for portability, and interfaces for runtime...
