What are morphs?
Last updated at 4:02 pm UTC on 4 October 1999
Morphs are objects with a graphical representation. Morph in Greek means shape or form.
Any morph can have component morphs (called submorphs).
A morph with submorphs is called a composite morph.
Any morph may be grabbed, moved, rotated, duplicated, resized or deleted.
All morphs are contained within one topmost morph - the
WorldMorph
.
Morphs support drag and drop direct manipulation.
The cursor is represented by the
HandMorph
.
