Build Your First Application
1. To create a layout window, select New Layout from the File menu.
2. NTK then displays an empty layout window along with a Tool Palette (see FIGURE 2.21). You create templates inside this layout by graphically dragging them out on the layout screen.
3. To begin, select protoApp in the palette by clicking on its icon or selecting it from the popup menu (see FIGURE 2.21).
4. Once the protoApp is selected, go to the layout window and drag out a rectangular shape (see FIGURE 2.22).
This template shape will correspond to the view displayed on the Newton; it will have the same dimensions and screen location.
