GTK (formerly GTK+) is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, making it suitable for both free and proprietary software.
Purpose and Usage: GTK is primarily used for developing applications with a graphical user interface. It provides a set of widgets, such as buttons, labels, text boxes, and menus, that developers can use to build their applications. It's commonly used with languages like C, C++, Python (through PyGObject), and others.
Architecture: GTK is built upon the GObject object system, which provides a base class for creating objects and managing their properties. It also relies on the GDK (GIMP Drawing Kit) for low-level graphics operations and platform-specific functionality.
Bindings: While primarily written in C, GTK offers bindings for numerous programming languages, making it accessible to a wider range of developers.
GTK Versions: GTK has evolved through several major versions (GTK 2, GTK 3, GTK 4). GTK 4 is the latest major version and includes significant improvements in performance, rendering, and API design.
GNOME Desktop Environment: GTK is the primary toolkit used to build the GNOME desktop environment.
