[comp.windows.x] beginner toolkit questions

commike@cs.Buffalo.EDU (Alan Commike ) (02/10/90)

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,
