- Hi,
-
- I need to manupilate text fast on a window, in a manner similiar to xterm.
- my implementation is in XLib (and I'd like to carry on using XLib). Any pointersas to how that may be achieved will be greatly appreciated.
-
- At the moment I use the XDrawString and XClearArea routines to write and
- delete text. But they are SLOW.
-
- Any ideas?
