- Hi netters,
-
- I should implement an X application displaying a rectangular map divided in
- many (actually about one hundred) nonrectangular zones.
-
- The zone boundaries are non-orthogonal lines.
-
- The application should get zone-enter/leave mouse event, and clicking.
-
- The only solution I have figured out is to use the NonRectangular Window Shape
- Extension provided by MIT X11R5.
-
- Is it feasible?
- Is it the unique solution?
-
- Any help by skillful programmers?
-
- Thanks in advance, please reply by e-mail and a summary will be posted.
