I have a question to the X10 and X11 experts. I am in the process of porting an existing graphics package that uses X10 to X11. I would like to know the X11 function call that can handle the task done by: XMakePattern(); I need to know this urgently. my e-mail address is : rgk1@unhd.unh.edu

What helped my the most in converting X10 applications directly (without too much thinking :-)) was the list of X11 "equivalent" calls document in mit-dist/doc/tutorials/x10equiv.txt in the mit distribution. Basically, XMakePattern is replaced by setting appropriate fields in a GC. The most common application of the X10 function I can think of is for creating dashed (or dotted lines) to which you must use XSetDashes to set the GC and then call XDrawLine with that GC. Explanations about this are in both the books put out by O'Reilly and Digital Press. Hope this helps, BC
