Editing Glade Interface Designer (section)

==GtkBuilder==
[[GTK#GtkBuilder|''GtkBuilder'']] is the [[XML]] format that the Glade Interface Designer uses to [[Persistence (computer science)|save]] its forms. These documents can then be used in conjunction with the GtkBuilder object to instantiate the form using [[GTK]]. ''GladeXML'' is the [[XML]] format that was used with conjunction with libglade, which is now deprecated.<ref>{{cite mailing list |url=http://mail.gnome.org/archives/devel-announce-list/2009-May/msg00003.html |title=Libglade officially deprecated in favor of GtkBuilder. |mailing-list=Gnome devel-announce-list |date=11 May 2009 |access-date=13 November 2010}}</ref>

Glade Interface Designer automatically generates all the [[source code]] for a [[Graphical control element (software)|graphical control element]].

The "Gtk.Builder class" allows user interfaces to be designed without writing code.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/Gtk-3.0/classes/Builder.html#Gtk.Builder |title=Gtk 3.0 documentation on github}}</ref> The class describes the interface in an [[Extensible Markup Language]] (XML) file and then loads the XML description at runtime and creating the objects automatically. The Glade Interface Designer allows creation of the user interface in a [[What You See Is What You Get|WYSIWYG]] manner. The description of the user interface is independent from the programming language being used.
