- Hi,
-
- I want to implement a desktop-like application in X11.
- The direct-manipulation routines are ready, the
- last problem (at least I hope it will be the last) is
- how to draw the icons on the desktop. I would like to
- have a finite set of icons that can be drawn into a
- XWindow. My question is: should I use pixmaps or images.
-
- What is the usual way to draw icons in a xwindow? If someone
- could send me a small sourcecode drawing a pixmap into a
- window it would save me a lot of time...
