Athens is a vector graphics library, its not a GUI API. Athens will not give you buttons, menus, drop down lists and GUI elements. It will give you however the means to draw all those things and much more.�
As far as I understand it, Athens is a vector graphics library that will eventually replace BitBlt for rendering Morphs in Pharo. For a time, there will be some things rendered with Athens and some things rendered with BitBlt. How do I make the transition from BitBlt rendering to Athens rendering?
