Synopsis

Here's a comprehensive exploration of how to implement the X Window System to create user interfaces, along with suggestions for using the facilities provided by X, the Xt Intrinsics, and the OPEN LOOK widget set. Demonstrating typical ways to combine features of Xlib, Xt, and OPEN LOOK to form working applications, the guide walks readers through applying the X resource manager, handling events, the X color model, creating graphics contexts, drawing with points, lines, polygons, and arcs, and more. Assuming knowledge of C and a familiarity with UNIX and the X Window System, this book is intended for Programmers, Software Engineers, and Product Managers working with X and OPEN LOOK.
