Gorm is a graphical interface builder application. It is part of the developer tools of GNUstep. GNUstep is a free software implementation of NeXTs OpenStep Objective-C libraries (called frameworks), widget toolkit, and application development tools not only for Unix-like operating systems, but also for Microsoft Windows. ...


"'Gorm'" ("Graphical Object Relationship Modeller") is the equivalent of Interface Builder that was originally found on NeXT first, OPENSTEP then and finally on MacOS X. Interface Builder was believed by many who have used it to be far ahead of its time. Interface Builder formed together with Project Builder (now rewritten as Xcode in MacOS X versions after 10.3/Panther) one of the most productive, clean and coherent programming environments and was surely part of success of the various Operating Systems that used it. A user interface builder is a computer software program that allows easy and visual creating and editing of a graphical user interface to be used in a program. ... The NeXT logo, designed by Paul Rand. ... OpenStep is an open object-oriented API specification for an object-oriented operating system that uses any modern operating system as its core, principly developed by NeXT. It is important to recognize that while OpenStep is an API specification, OPENSTEP (all capitalized) is a specific implementation of this OpenStep developed... Mac OS X is the latest version of the Mac OS operating system for Macintosh computers. ... A user interface builder is a computer software program that allows easy and visual creating and editing of a graphical user interface to be used in a program. ...


Gorm and Project Center represent the heart of the suite for GNUstep. Gorm follows Interface Builder so closely that using tutorials written for the latter is possible without much hassle and thus brings the power of Interface Builder to the open source world being part of the GNU project. GNUstep is a free software implementation of NeXTs OpenStep Objective-C libraries (called frameworks), widget toolkit, and application development tools not only for Unix-like operating systems, but also for Microsoft Windows. ... A user interface builder is a computer software program that allows easy and visual creating and editing of a graphical user interface to be used in a program. ... Open source refers to projects that are open to the public and which draw on other projects that are freely available to the general public. ... The GNU logo, drawn by Etienne Suvasa GNU is a recursive acronym for GNUs Not Unix. The GNU project was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman with the goal of creating a complete operating system -- called the GNU system or simply GNU -- that is free software, meaning that users...


Gorm allows developers to quickly create graphical applications and to design every little aspect of the application's user interface: using drag and drop all types of objects like menus, buttons, tables, lists and browsers are easily added to the interface. With the mouse it is possible to resize, move or convert the objects or connect them to functions as well as to edit nearly every aspect of them using Gorm's powerful inspectors.

Molecular Evolution: Distance-Based Methods for Phylogenetic Reconstruction (2195 words)
The overall fit of the tree is found by (1) computing the difference between each observed distance and the corresponding patristic distance, (2) squaring this difference (this way we are sure to obtain a positive number, regardless of whether the observed or the patristic difference is bigger), (3) adding all the squared differences.
Finally, compute the patristic distance between each pair of species on the tree by adding up the branch lengths of branches lying on the path between the two taxa.
In this case we are computing the fit between the observed pairwise sequence-distances and the branch lengths found by neighbor joining.
Computing Languages List (17532 words)
The language was further extended to use computational reflection to manage distributed computing and other language extensions in a way that is as seamless as possible to the user.
The algorithmic language has three different kinds of representations- reference, hardware, and publication, and the development described is in terms of the language are represented by a given set of symbols and it is only in the choice of symbols that the other two representations may differ.
OCTAVE- GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations.
