I've finally gotten around to writing some of my development tools in X. The question i have is which toolkit to use. I haven't read all the documentation to R4 yet (it's still printing). I know there is the standard intrinsics with the Athena widget set. But what about all the other toolkits in contrib? I realize this is pretty close to "which editor is best". Are there certain toolkits that are better than others? What about the widget sets?? Does it depend on the application. I'm going to be developing some backend graphics tools for pattern recognition systems. View a bunch of images, apply transformations to the images, etc. Nothing very complicated. Any help/advice for a newcomer will be welcome. Thanks much, ...alan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- internet: commike@cs.buffalo.edu | bitnet: commike@sunybcs.BITNET | uucp: ..!{watmath,boulder,decvax,rutgers}!sunybcs!commike Real-Life: Alan Commike - SUNY @ Buffalo, Buffalo NY Q: How many computer scientists does it take to change a light bulb?
