Fellow netters:
My group is about to embark on a new X Window System display project
and have decided to explore the various toolkits available. The project
involves both a CAD-like graphics editor and a data analysis display.
Both these tools must have an OPEN LOOK look and feel (by order from on high).
We are likely to do the actual implementation in C++ and have identified
two candidate toolkits for doing the graphics work. One is the SUN widget
set OLIT and the other is the Solbourne/USL toolkit OI. My personal
preference based on reading man pages is OI, but we have nobody here with
personal experience using either library. I need to justify my choice
to my boss and am looking for praise or horror stories about either toolkit.
Please send email and if there is sufficient interest, I will summarize
to the net. Thanks.
