<para>
The <command>&cmd;</command> interface designer enables you to create and edit
user interface designs for GTK+ applications.
</para>
<para>
The GTK+ library provides an extensive collection of user interface building
blocks such as text boxes, dialog labels, numeric entries, check boxes, and
menus. These building blocks are called <emphasis>widgets</emphasis>. 
<command>&cmd;</command> allows you to modify the layout and properties of
these widgets. You can also use <command>&cmd;</command> to add connections
between widgets and application source code.
</para>

<para>
<para>
The user interfaces designed in <command>&cmd;</command> are stored in an XML
format, enabling easy integration with external tools. You can use the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>libglade</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>3C</manvolnum></citerefentry>
library to dynamically create GUIs from the XML description.
