I understand that an Xview program can incorporate functions written in in bare Xlib, but would like to turn the process around. Obviously, the structure of xview is not such that such a task even seems possible. The only solution that seems feasible to me is to treat the original program and the xview "subprogram" as cooperating processes using some appropriate form of IPC which draw to seperate windows, but resize/rearrange their own "displays" to give the illusion of being one program. Has anyone tried to do anything like this? Does anyone have any better ideas? Note: display above does not mean display in the usual sense of X11; I just couldn't think of a better word. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Woodhouse |We know that the center of the earth gjw@andreas.wr.usgs.gov |is a fiery molten mass...but it's not (415) 329-4694 (office) |good to dwell on it.
