A Mascot 3 Paintbox for Aspect

The Aspect project is an Alvey funded research activity in advanced software engineering-Aspect being a basis for future integrated project support environments. The Aspect components are: Presenter HCI; HCI-related tools; Aspect Information Base; Perspective Kernel; and the distributed target model. Each component will be evaluated by carrying out the implementation of an applications tool. The authors describe the implementation of one of these tools, the Mascot 3 Paintbox. The particular Aspect tools used to implement the Paintbox are Presenter, a screen and object management system, along with Doubleview, a related tool used to construct Presenter application templates
