Title: A graphical user interface for TeX Author: Kaveh Bazargan Affiliation: River Valley Technologies; http://www.river-valley.com; kaveh@river-valley.com Abstract ======== I will demonstrate a graphical user interface that simplifies using global controls in TeX. The software development environment I have used is Revolution (http://www.runrev.com). This is a successor to Apple's HyperCard, which is now unfortunately obsolete. One advantage of Revolution is that it is cross-platform, while HyperCard only ran on the Apple Macintosh. The general idea is that the parameters and variables in TeX (or LaTeX or any other variant) are presented as interactive controls such as scrollbars and pop-up buttons in Revolution. As the user makes changes using these controls, the results are immediately written to a configuration file and the main TeX file is run and preview updated. I will give a brief introduction to Revolution, and then demonstrate the TeX GUI.
