Genero supports the graphical user interface (GUI) to provide a real graphical look and feel, for desktop workstation, web browsers and mobile front-end platforms.
When set to 1, the FGLGUI environment variable defines the graphical mode usage. This is the default. In graphical mode, the application forms are displayed on the front-end workstation identified with the FGLSERVER environment variable. Application forms will be rendered with real graphical widgets providing a nice look-and-feel as shown.
Figure 1. Graphical mode rendering
To simplify migration from text mode to graphical mode with legacy applications, you can use the traditional GUI mode option to render application windows in a single front end GUI window.
