A method and apparatus is provided to generate a plural number of differing data displays, each based upon a multi-information display template that has the information to drive each separate data display. Each data display may be different as regards selected information to appear on each data display, selected placement of the information on each data display depending upon a selected and defined style, an at least one selected and defined mode of information to appear on any one data display, and the utilization of specific display program capabilities (such as a browser). Additionally, a method and apparatus is provided for a user to enter the information into a computing system, and for the computing system to generate the multi-display template.

Configuration of displays for targeted user communities

A method of migrating Cartesian coordinate-based views is disclosed. The method includes providing applet-based templates and associating the templates to Cartesian coordinate-based views. Controls of the applet can be modified according to the requirements of the Cartesian coordinate-based view. The views are used as user interfaces.

Application migration to languages implementing tag fields

A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described for creating a prototype GUI for conversion into an actual GUI whose appearance when displayed matches the appearance of the prototype GUI. In some situations, multiple personnel may participate in the process, such as a non-technical GUI designer that specifies the prototype GUI appearance information and a technical GUI developer that specifies various non-appearance information for a corresponding actual GUI. A prototype GUI is first created based on layout and other appearance information specified for various GUI elements, and corresponding proxy GUI objects are generated that store appearance information but not various non-appearance information used as part of an actual GUI. Proxy GUI objects for a prototype GUI can then be converted into actual GUI objects for use with an actual GUI, and various non-appearance information can be specified for the actual GUI objects in various ways.

Prototyping graphical user interfaces

A facility for improving for performance of an initial user interface for a client-server application is described. The facility selects a proper subset of the user interface elements of the initial user interface. For each selected element, the facility generates a more efficient replacement for the selected element. The facility then generates a revised user interface that includes the unselected elements of the initial user interface, together with the generated replacements for the selected elements of the initial user interface.
