Here is the announcement of the HP Widget Set:
Hewlett-Packard is making available through MIT a preliminary version
of the HP X Widget set to be donated for release on the R3 tape later
this year. This preliminary distribution is accompanied by an early
release of the HP X Widget manual and man pages.
Please recognize that both the documentation and the widgets are
preliminary releases; we have performed some QA, but undoubtedly
problems still exist. If you encounter one, or have other comments,
please let us know via the address listed below.
These widgets reflect ongoing visual design that gives widgets a
3D appearance. In implementing a 3D visual representation we have
attempted to emulate real world interactive devices such as buttons
and sliders, rather than an arbitrary proprietary representation.
Sites that have access to Internet can obtain the HP X Widget
distribution using binary, anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu
(18.30.0.212) from the directory pub/Xhpw/. The sizes and checksums
of the files are:
filename bytes checksum
Xhpw.tar.Z.aa 524288 34513 512
Xhpw.tar.Z.ab 235664 26992 231
The files can be reassembled using the command:
cat Xhpw.tar.Z.a[ab] | uncompress | tar xf -
Unfortunately, the widget set is too big for the xstuff server, so
people without Internet access will have to find a friend who does.
The "doc" directory contains a README file explaining how to produce
a printable copy of the reference manual.
We are quite interested in feedback on this set of widgets, as it
will be the basis for a core set of components being spec'ed and
prototyped by the X Consortium. If you have suggestions, constructive
criticism, bug reports, or other comments (including compliments!)
please send them to the following email address:
widgets%hpcvlx@hplabs.hp.com
We will respond to bug reports on a best efforts basis.
This early distribution consists of the following widgets:
Display
-------
Static Raster - display an application created image
Static Text - Format and display text
Editing
-------
Text Edit - single or multi-line text editor, with verification
Selection
---------
Push Button - rectangular button containing text
Toggle - square or diamond button with adjacent text
Layout
------
Bulletin board - post widgets at absolute x,y coordinates
Form - constraint layout manager
Panel - menubar smart manager
Row column manager - lay out widgets in specified number of columns
Scrolled window - vertical and horizontal scrollbars
Title bar - support arbitrary number of text and other widgets
Vertical paned manager - vertically tile panes, allow user to resize
Menus
-----
Pop up - post initial menu panes relative to cursor position
Cascade - used with pop up menu to implement walking menus
Utility
-------
Scroll bar - horizontal or vertical
Valuator - used in scrollbar
Arrow - used in scrollbar
Sash - used in vertical paned manager
The following widgets are not implemented in the preliminary release,
although they are mentioned in the documentation and are planned for
the R3 release:
List manager widget - provide browser-like functionality
Image edit widget - allow users to create/edit images
Other functionality which does not exist in this preliminary release:
ATTACH pseudo-op
Keyboard traversal between widgets
Widget classing
Pull down menu - supported by architecture, but will not be
provided in the public source distributionben@hpcvlx.HP.COM (Benjamin Ellsworth) (05/18/88)

Does anyone know how the latest HP widget set contributed to XV11R2 relates
to the HP Xray toolkit as well as HP's NewWave environment?

Is it still true that the HP widget set is still at V11R2? Is there a version which runs under R3 (not using R2 libraries), or is one expected? Please send replies via e-mail.

Hello all,
I've been reading this newsgroup diligently since I first saw mention of
the HP widget set. I was wondering if someone has the information on where
to find ( read get ) this. I have seen 3 requests for this information
but I have not yet seen a response. ( even in the negative )
We had a 2.5 hour power failure here and it might have slipped by me due
to that, so I apologize if this request is redundant.
Paul F
Disclaimer: Now that I'm at the end of this posting, having read it over
it seems my tone is a bit harsh, but I'm too lazy to rewrite it so I
will simply state that it was not originally meant that way.

At the risk of wasting precious net resources, let me answer this question. The HP widget set was donated by HP to the X Consortium shortly before the release of X11R2. This widget set is part of the official "contrib" release for X11R2 and X11R3. The sources should be available from any X11 archive site. If you have X11R2 or X11R3 sources and you have the contrib stuff, then you already have the HP widget set. Look under the contrib directory. Note, however, that the XToolkit Intrinsics underwent some significant revision between R2 and R3. This revision impacted upon widgets designed and written for R2. As distributed in X11R3, the HP widget set does not work properly. There is documentation that comes with the X11R3 release detailing how to go about converting a widget from R2 to R3 version. Also, i believe, someone has posted a set of patches that will upgrade the HP widget set. This patch should also be available from any X11 archive site. Joel Rives

schuler@palantir.gsfc.nasa.gov (Larry Schuler - RMS) (10/07/89)
I have recently grabbed the HPw.R3 widget set from the expo server,
compiled and installed these widgets on a Sun workstation.
My problem is their appearance. The manual shows nice 3-d widgets, however,
all the test programs I run show bland 2-d widgets.
Have I done something wrong? I notice that the date on the manual is from
November 88, does this mean that back when X11R2 was around, these widgets
were 3-d but not with X11R3 ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
