Abstract
Building environments that use visual techniques (visual environments) is still expensive in labour. We present an object oriented framework for compound documents, called HotDoc, that can be used for building visual environments rapidly. We give an example by describing a user interface for an extended spreadsheet environment called Simple. We focus on spatial composition control which is supported in HotDoc by layout policies
