Let me explain what I'm looking for. I wrote some image processing programs in C on a BSD 4.2 Unix machine. The program wroks fine on a Sun 3 as well. On the Sun I wrote a small module to display these images, I link this with the rest of my program via make. I have one call that specifies the X and Y dimensions, and I open up a window of that size. Then I have another call which puts a specified grey-level value at a given x-y location. I can use this same procedure to turn a pixel on and off. Now the only problem is, at home and at work I have Macs, and I am still reading about mac-programming. I am using MacLayers, and everytime I type "layers" it pops up a new window. So I think it should not be too difficult to write a little module in C to do the above. Not much error checking is required. I take care of them in my actual program. This can be really helpful to me and anyone else who use a mainframe more than a text editor. Also it will make a comm program much much prefferable to any existing one. If I am lead in the right direction and with some small/psedo examples then I might be able to take a shot at this myself. Or does anyone know of any product that will do this. I am not trying to display RLE graphics. Reading in raster/gif/array or any other format has already been beaten to death, I can handle that. I just need to put pixels at specified locations while the actual picture is on a Unix host. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Haseen.
