The division that I am in is thinking of porting a large amount of software
from NeWS to X. If anybody has made this switch before I would appreciate
any points that you could give me.
Two questions have come up immediately. Is there anything available to
allow our postscript files to work with the X server? The second question
is how can we implement rubber banding? I have coded an obvious method
where for each mouse moved event I restore what was under the current
rubber band lines; do a copy area throung a clip mask to save what will be
under the new rubber band lines; then draw the new rubber band lines. This
works but on our sun 3/60 the server's responses quickly fall behind the
mouse moved events. We need something that will do a better job of keeping
up with the user's actions.
Thank you in advance for any advice that you can give me.
