[comp.windows.x] Looking for hit searching examples...

michael@arcturus.uucp (Michael;Wayne D.) (06/11/91)

I am writing an X program which has an application custom display area
composed of vectors and text.

The user of the program needs to be able to select objects (i.e.  small
collections of vectors and text). (Once the object is selected he will
get additional information on that object in seperate window...)

This is not very hard to do, but I am looking for a general purpose way
to implement this, and I am hoping somebody has knowledge of an
"ftp"-able example written in C. (I have looked around a little bit
myself, but came up with nothing)

I have heard rumors that PEX will be able to do stuff like this, but I
can't wait for R5, and besides I need this program to be able to run on
an X11R3 server...

Thanks in advance for any help.
