ThingLabII: Constraint-based user interfaces

areas/constrnt/systems/thinglab/
ThingLab II supports the exploration of constraint-based user interfaces. It consists of a set of classes that define constraints and constrainable objects called things. It also includes an incremental constraint satisfier, a module compiler, a construction-set style user interface, various tools, and an extensible set of primitive user interface building blocks.
