README for ~4Dgifts/examples/X11/Xlib source code examples
----------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains 10 X Windows programming examples which
implement X11 graphics capabilities. These programs are designed
and commented in such a way as to aid beginning X Windows
programmers.
These programs are set up in such a fashion as to introduce
concepts by building on the previous program. Each program comes
complete with a program.README file explaining in more detail what
has changed since the previous program, and why certain functions
are being called. The .README files will also state which
previous-in-complexity program is being built upon and its place
in the sequence.
All of the programs in this subtree include a queuing construct
that will kill the program by pressing any key. Later programs
like "mouse" and "draw" require pressing a mouse button rather than
a keyboard button.
#1: simplewin Creates a window. Nothing fancy.
#2: placewin Brings up window in a specified position.
#3: colorwin Brings up a window by using colors.
#4: font Shows how to access fonts and display fonts.
#5: colorfont Shows how to apply colors to fonts.
#6: cursor Shows how to alter the appearance of the cursor.
#7: queue Explains queuing concepts.
#8: mouse Explains limiting queue events to mice events.
#9: leftmouse Refines queueing down to the leftmouse.
#10: draw Uses all the previous examples to create
one simple graphics program.
