LXT provides walking menus, canvases, panels containing all of the major item types supported by SunView, and text subwindows. Blocking panels which freeze the display until the user provides critical feedback are also available. All canvases, panels and text subwindows are both vertically and horizontally scrollable. LXT is designed to allow the programmer to use its facilities on an as-needed basis rather than to wrest total control of the application from the caller. While LXT's data objects are relatively opaque, it is possible for the programmer to create other Xlib data objects and manage them at will. Event notification is completely under program control and defers to the LXT event processor only as directed. The entire LXT package was written directly on the Xlib library and does not require the support of any other toolkit. Although the development of LXT was done entirely on Sun workstations, it should be easily portable to any system WHICh provides a working X11 server and the MIT-distributed Xlib programming interface. LXT was originally released in early 1988 under the name 'XView', which was changed in late 1989 after Sun's release of a similar product with the same name. 204707 bytes is the size of this package; possible locations are: ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de - /pub/X.V11R4/net/toolkits/lxt.tar.Z ponder.csci.unt.edu - /pub/mixview/lxt.tar.Z -- comp.archives file verification ponder.csci.unt.edu -rw-r--r-- 1 248 0 205481 May 14 11:11 /pub/mixview/lxt.tar.Z found lxt ok ponder.csci.unt.edu:/pub/mixview/lxt.tar.Z
