[comp.lang.eiffel] X graphics

fcaggian@kepler.com (Frank Caggiano) (09/13/90)

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting colors
to work with the Eiffel graphics package.  It appears the hooks
are there but I just can't seem to get it turned on.

Also I feel some concern with the use of numeric constants in
Eiffel.  For example in the x_const.e file the values for the
events are coded in as 
	
		key_press: INTEGER is 2;

with key_press defined in the X include file X.h as 
	
	#define Key_press 2
Now this is the type of coding which has always sent chills up
my spine, for obvious reasons.  Is there any thought of developing
a preprocessor for Eiffel?

I've been having some problems with news here so if this makes it
out could some kind soul email me, thanks.
