# Overview

WorkShop Visual is a tool for prototyping a Motif Graphical User Interface - both in appearance and behavior - and then automatically generating the code for the interface.

A Motif Interface consists of a number of windows and each window consists of a hierarchy of widgets (for example, menus buttons and scroll bars).

Try the menu bar options to get a flavor of what is available and try clicking on a few of the widget icons in the Widget Palette down the left edge of the WorkShop Visual Window to see what happens.

If you need help, the Help option on the Help pulldown menu at the top right of the WorkShop Visual Window provides access to all help topics.

Each help item has a list of related topics: double click on the related topic within the list provided.

A full list of all help topics is available by pressing the 'Index' button.
