Description

bioLegato is a programmable graphic interface capable of handling a wide range of data types. bioLegato is:

generic - in principle, bioLegato could be used for almost any kind of data
object-oriented - Ideally, each instance of bioLegato will implement an object. The canvas area of the interface allows the end user to view and manipulate the data of the object. The menus represent the methods associated with that object.
programmable - methods are not hard-coded into the bioLegato interface. Rather templates are read at run-time that create menus which, in turn, allow the user to set paramaters and run external programs
lightweight - most functionality is through external program calls. bioLegato is "anti-bloatware"
versatile - almost anything could be run from bioLegato, whether locally-installed programs, or web services

bioLegato takes its initial inspiration from Steven Smith's GDE interface.
