FLUID
FLUID (Fast Light
User Interface Designer) is a graphical editor that is used to produce
FLTK source code. FLUID edits and saves its state in text .fl files, which can be edited in a text editor for finer control over display and behavior.After designing the application, FLUID compiles the .fl file into a .cxx file, which defines all the objects from the .fl file, and an
.h file, which declares all the global ones. FLUID also supports
localization of label strings using message files and the
GNU gettext or
POSIX catgets interfaces.A simple program can be made by putting all non-interface code (including a main function) into the .fl file, thus making the .cxx file a single source file to compile. Most programs are more complex than this, so other .cxx files can be written that call the FLUID functions. These .cxx files must #include the .h file, or they can #include the .cxx file so it still appears to be a single source file.

Fluid
A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied
shear stress regardless of the magnitude of the applied stress. It is a subset of the
phases of matter and includes
liquids,
gases,
plasmas and, to some extent,
plastic solids.Fluids are also divided into liquids and air. Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by their container) while gases do not. The distinction between
solids and fluids is not so obvious. The distinction is made by evaluating the
viscosity of the matter: for example
Silly Putty can be considered either a solid or a fluid, depending on the time period over which it is observed.
