[comp.windows.x] Large Window size vs position

bfinn@foundation (Bill Finnefrock) (11/21/90)

I am having problems with positioning sub-windows on a very large canvas.


when you create a window (Xlib) the x & y positions are INT and the width and 
height are UNSIGNED INT, but when you do a configure the values for width and
height are INT.

Does anybody have any ideas what to do when you want to make the size of
the canvas larger than an INT or larger than an UNSIGNED INT.

Currently I am only able to create a graph with a width of about 400 - 600
eventually I will need several thousand nodes in the graph.


thanks in advance for any help.
