---------------------------------------------------------- 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.
