[comp.windows.x] What toolkit/widget-set to use ?

marcel@tnoibbc.UUCP (Marcel Boender) (02/08/90)

Hello there,

I would like to know what toolkit/widget-set to use for the implementation
of a graphical interactive query tool for examining a database containing
model data.
At the moment a student here is working on the specifications for such a tool.
A first implementation will have to be made based on the X window system.
Some of the user interface functionalities required are :

	- the usage of menus
	- the usage of graphical input functionalities (select, dig, etc...)
	- the usage of graphical output primitives (points, lines, arcs, etc...)
	- the usage of an alpha-numeric IO-window.

We would like to know what toolkit/widget-set to use; There are so many.
We know about the existence of xgks and other gks implementations under X
but we would like to know about aother possibilities.
Our preferences goes to a toolkit/widget-set that at least offers the
functionalities given above and that is officially supported.

(We are using X version 11 Release 4)


					Thank you,

						Marcel Boender

I also would like to know which toolkit or widget set to use.  Which ones
look like they are going to have some longevity?  Is there an accepted
standard?
