Approaches to a GUI for a Large C Program

In our Bioinformatics lab we've recently been asked to create a GUI for a program written (and optimized) in C. Any GUI we designed would need to be able to feed input to and receive output from the C program, while also being easily portable to both Windows and Mac. What are ways to go about doing this? ...

How do I control the overall size constraints of a panel with MigLayout?

I am testing out MigLayout for a project, and I can't seem to figure out the MigLayout way of controlling the size of the whole panel which is being layed out.

I'm working on a flexible GUI application that can have ~12 varied layouts. These layouts are all well-defined and won't change.

How do I get data from a Simulink block into a MATLAB GUI?

I have a Simulink model that uses an embedded MATLAB function for a block, and I haven't been able to figure out how to move data between the embedded MATLAB block and a GUI in real-time (i.e. while the model is running).

Should I use Perl/Tk, Tcl::Tk or Tkx for a Perl GUI?

I really like Perl/Tk, but have come to the opinion that it's DOA. I think Tcl::Tk and Tkx are better solutions. Assume I drop Perl/Tk. Is the "most supported" route to go with Tcl::Tk (which hasn't been updated since 2007, and whose author seemingly cannot be reached), or Tkx? Are either of these actively used/supported? ...

Would a singleton GUI be good in this case?

I am working on a project where I have lots of classes referring to my GUI (mainly the panels but sometimes the frame itself).
