【 摘 要 】

Direct manipulation interfaces already employ a weak analogy to the use of physical tools in the real world.Despite certain tradeoffs, a stronger application of tool-using principles can lead to improvements in the design of software interfaces.I outline here some of the theory behind such an approach, and describe the design of systems that follow these principles, with emphasis on a tool-based drawing application called HabilisDraw.
