Application Layer Provides Quick LightWorks Integration The LightWorks Application Layer is a suite of high-level C and C++ modules, providing software developers with all they need to quickly build and easily maintain their LightWorks-based products. It includes a range of well-designed workflow styles, for developers to provide productive and easy-to-use graphical user interfaces graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to (GUIs). The predefined user-interface element classes can be integrated instantly and are highly customizable through function overriding. The developer also can easily change the visual appearance of the user-interface elements, to match the application's look-and-feel. Material and Light Studio archives included with the LightWorks Application Layer make it easy for users to create high-quality images. The wide-ranging library of high-quality predefined materials gives users instant material settings, which can be assigned to models using drag-and- drop.
