Morphic
Last updated at 12:35 pm UTC on 8 June 2018
Morphic is a direct-manipulation User Interface (UI) construction kit based on display trees. It works with graphical objects called Morphs. It replaces the original Model View Controller graphics toolkit of Smalltalk-80.

Where does Morphic stand out?

How Morphic works internally


In a Morphic project the desktop is a graphical object which is accessible through a global variable called 'World'.
The UI process repeatedly calls World doOneCycle. It uses the ActiveHand (instance of HandMorph).
