[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Is Xwindows as flexible as SuperCard??

Hi Xworld,

I have an application that uses intelligent graphic objects in SuperCard.
I am thinking of porting it to Xwindows Motif or Openlook.

Is it possible to do *animations* in Xwindows??
Also, Is it possible to create graphic objects like 

	a) RoundRects (Rounded rectangles)
	and
	b) Polygons
	c) Triangles

in Xwindows??

For people not familiar with Hypercard/Supercard, it is possible to
attach a script to any graphic object in Supercard.
So you can do stuff like click on a polygon or a triangle and change its 
shape to a rectangle or double click on it and change its color to red!

How can I do this in Xwindows. Are there any widget sets out there that will 
support stuff like triangular widgets or widgets with *NON-RECTANGULAR* shapes??

E-mail will be MOST appreciated!!
