Interaction of class libraries and widgetsets in Lazarus and Free Pascal
Architecture of the Lazarus Component Library

The Lazarus Component Library, abbreviated LCL is a visual software component library for the Lazarus IDE.

The LCL consists of a collection of units that provide components and classes especially for visual tasks. It is based on the Free Pascal libraries RTL and FCL. By binding platform-specific widgetsets it supports platform-sensitive software development for several operating systems including Android, Desktop Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

Development of a new GTK3 backend is currently in planning status. It is intended to be written from scratch, since the GTK2 backend was not cleanly implemented and inherits GTK1 traits.
