- I want to write some very simple X-windows C++ code:
- a few buttons, some interactive graphics (draw
- circles, bitmaps, text, get mouseclicks).
-
- I'm new to C++ and X-windows.
- If you've been through this already,
- maybe I can learn from your experience.
-
- I have athena widgets and g++-2.2.
-
- My question: what approach would you recommend:
-
- (a) Have C++ call C routines using Xlib and/or Xaw.
-
- (b) Ditto with a more complete toolkit than Xaw.
- (Requires installation of the toolkit.)
- If so, which?
-
- (c) Install and use one of the existing C++ class libraries
- mentioned in the X-windows FAQ. If so, which?
-
- (d) Just use "C", no C++.
-
- (e) Other?
-
- Thanks for your feedback.

- Neal
