We're starting a large Xwindows based project (3-4 manyears of
windows programming), using HP 9000 series workstations. I'm interesting
in obtaining opinion on which set of widgets we should use. We currently
have the HP release of X11R3, which includes:
The Athena widgets
The Xt Intrinsics "toolkit"
THe HP X widgets
The XrLib "user interface toolbox"
I am familiar with the Athena widgets and with programing using
Xlib directly. I don't really know much about the rest. One of our project
goals is to be as vendor-independent as possible. Which combination of
these do people suggest we use? Whatever we use, I expect to have to write
several 'custom' widgets as well, so having source code available for the
existing widgets in the set is important.
