Abstract
BuildByWire is a constraint-based environment for specifying and implementing visual notations for environments developed using the MViews framework. Previous approaches to user-interface construction based on constraint propagation approaches have been limited. We describe a new approach that avoids some of these difficulties through the use of the multi-directional constraints of Snart, an object-oriented extension of Prolog
