Is there an easy way to scroll text in a window? I am not using the tool kits, or widgets. Right now I am using a the sequence: XGetImage, XClearWindow, XPutImage, then draw the new text line. I am hoping there is a better way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | University of California | dbainbri@ics.uci.edu | | Irvine | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now I am using a the sequence: XGetImage, XClearWindow, XPutImage, then draw the new text line. Gaak! I am hoping there is a better way. Yes. Take a look at XCopyArea, and note that it is perfectly reasonable (in fact normal) for the source and destination drawables to be the same.
