APPENDIX A. GLOSSARY

display server n. |Fill this in|

displayed output record n. An output record that corresponds to a visible piece of output,
such as text or graphics. The leaves of the output record tree.

distributing n. (of events) |Fill this in|

drawing plane n. An infinite two-dimensional plane on which graphical output occurs. A
drawing plane contains an arrangement of colors and opacities that is modified by each
graphical output operation.

enabled adj. (of a sheet) |Fill this in|

event n. 1. Some sort of significant event, such as a user gesture (such as moving the pointer,
pressing a pointer button, or typing a keystroke) or a window configuration event (such as
resizing a window). 2. A Lisp object that represents an event.

extended input stream n. A kind of sheet that supports CLIM's extended input stream
protocol, such as supporting a pointing device.

extended output stream n. A kind of sheet that supports CLIM's extended output stream
protocol, such as supporting a variable line-height text rendering.

false n. 1. The boolean value false. 2. The Lisp object nil.

flipping ink n. 1. An ink that interchanges occurrences of two designs, such as might be done
by "XOR" on a monochrome display. 2. A Lisp object that represents a flipping ink.

foreground n. The design that is used when drawing using +foreground-ink+.

formatted output n. 1. Output that obeys some high level constraints on its appearance,
such as being arranged in a tabular format, or justified within some margins. 2. The CLIM
facility that provides a programmer the tools to produce such output.

frame n. An application frame.

frame manager n. An object that controls the realization of the look and feel of an application
frame
.

fully specified adj. (of a text style) Having components none of which are nil, and not having
a relative size (that is, neither :smaller nor :larger).

gesture n. Some sort of input action by a user, such as typing a character or clicking a pointer
button.

gesture name n. A symbol that gives a name to a gesture, for example, :select is commonly
used to indicate a left pointer button click.

graft n. A kind of mirrored sheet that represents a host window, typically a root window.

grafted adj. (of a sheet) Having an ancestor sheet that is a graft.

highlighting n. Changing of some piece of output so that it stands out. CLIM often highlights
the presentation under the pointer to indicate that it is sensitive.
