[comp.windows.x] memory windows?

Rick.Busdiecker@H.CS.CMU.EDU (07/03/87)

Is it possible/reasonable, in X version 10 or 11, to implement "memory
windows", that is, windows which have an associated pixmap which is
updated by graphical operations on the window (even the obscured areas)
and which handle exposure events by raster-oping from that pixmap?  Has
anyone already done this?

V11 will have rasterops to memory pixmaps.

By "rasterop," do you mean all graphical functions, or just
manipulating rectangular blocks?  Can event handlers be set up such
that a rasterop is done just before an area is obscured?  What happens
when you try to draw a line on an already obscured area of a window.

I guess I don't understand how your reply answers the question that I
was asking.  Does it mean yes? no? maybe?
