GTK+ is a highly usable and feature-rich toolkit for building graphical user interfaces that is written in C but has bindings to many other languages. It provides stability, cross-platform compatibility, and an accommodating interface. GTK+ is part of the GNU project and relies on supporting libraries like GLib, GObject, GDK, Pango, and ATK. Applications using GTK+ follow a standard structure, initializing the environment, running the main event loop, using data types like widgets, and defining callback functions to handle events.
