Object-Oriented Graphical User Interface Model for Visualization of Ship Conceptual Design

By the help of computer graphics and rapid development of hardwares. GUI(Graphic User Interface) represented by WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) changed user interface from liguistic model(e.g : command, etc.) to spatial model(e.g : pulldown menu, scroll bar, icon, itc.). This graphical user interface model for the ship conceptual design(MBASWIN) adopted event-driven programming technique and object-oriented concepts. Different from traditional design programs, MBASWIN is separate from the design program completely and controls all design modules. This enable a designer to accomplish a flexible designs.
