Abstract
This paper mainly introduces a model of the Object_Oriented User Interface Generation Tool (OOUIGT) and describes the procedure of the implementation. The OOUIGT (FasTool) has been implemented on SGI workstation. This enables the UI designing not to be a lower level programming procedure, but to be a higher level description procedure which is formal, convenient, comprehensive and fast.
