LablGTK

It uses the rich type system of Objective Caml 3 to provide a strongly typed, yet very comfortable, object-oriented interface to gtk+. This is not that easy if you know the dynamic typing approach taken by gtk+.

It is still under development, but already fully functional. All widgets (but one) are available, with almost all their methods. The GLArea widget is also supported in combination with LablGL. LibGlade and GdkPixbuf support is also included for both versions. LablGTK2 adds support for gnomecanvas, librsvg and libpanel Many examples are provided.

Objective Caml threads are supported, including for the toplevel, which allows for interactive use of the library.

LablGTK also works under Windows. See the README for details about how to build it for Win32.

Since release 1.2.1, LablGTK contains support for rapid development with glade, through an interface wrapper compiler, and a libglade binding. You can also find code generators in the tools section.

Here are the READMEs for the currents versions of lablgtk and lablgtk2.
