AIPS++ infrastructure graphics is built upon the X Window system, using the Motif widget set, and considerably enhanced by an ``Astronomical Canvas Widget'' written by Richard Gooch of the ATNF. These building blocks are used to construct higher-level software components which may be configured and used in a variety of ways, and in a variety of settings. (Some example Components: a Table browser/editor, an Image display, an x-y plotter.) Each component is derived from the same C++ base class, a ``UIComponent'' modeled after the work of Douglas Young.1
