At the heart of the Eiffel Development Framework is the Eiffel method. Everything else -- the language, the tools, the libraries -- exists because of the method.
|

|

In order for us to communicate effectively about the activities of the method we must have some way to record the products of those activities. That is what Eiffel the language does for us ... with the added benefit that, ultimately, we implement whole running software systems in the language.

The library EiffelTime is built on three notions of time. The absolute notion (for example, what time is it? 3:45 p.m.) is used for events. It may be useful also to deal with an interval between two events (the meeting is between 3:45 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.). Finally EiffelTime has the notion of duration, which is the length of an interval (the meeting will take 2:15). The notion of absolute is linked with duration by the use of an origin.

The EiffelVision library offers an object-oriented framework for graphical user interface (GUI) development. Using EiffelVision, developers can access all necessary GUI components, called [[Widgets|widgets]] (buttons, windows, list views) as well as truly graphical elements such as points, lines, arcs, polygons and the like -- to develop a modern, functional and good-looking graphical interactive application.
|
||||
|
||||
EiffelVision has played a major role at Eiffel Software and provided numerous Eiffel projects with a powerful, portable graphics development platform. EiffelStudio is totally reliant on EiffelVision for its graphical elements and overall interaction with the user.

EiffelVision 2 is a platform independent Graphical User Interface (GUI) library that allows easy, simultaneous development of Windowed applications for both Windows & Unix based platforms. Heavily relying on EiffelBase library, EiffelVision 2 has been designed primarily with ease of use in mind. By reusing EiffelBase structures, existing, as well as new Eiffel users will find EiffelVision to be surprising intuitive and easy to use. In no time, users will be producing good-looking Windowed application skeletons, of which will run on a multitude of platforms with no manipulation of code.
