I need a motif widget similar to the bitmap program that comes with X. Before I go off and write it, is there anybody who has something similar and is willing to share code? Assuming I have to work from scratch, is be better to be a sub-class of the BulletinBoard or Manager classes? Let me briefly describe what I am planning: BitmapEditor / \ Pallette ScrolledWindow | | |\ DrawingArea |\ Button \ Button Button Where Palette is probably really a RowColumn, and the buttons in it are the usual sort of Mac-painting tools, and color choice. The bitmap would be displayed in the DrawingArea. Does any of make sense? Also, for the buttons in that pallette, what's the best way to indicate which of them is "active?" The mac draws that tool in inverse. I can't find any advice in the Style Guide. Consume Scott Draves Be Silent spot@cs.cmu.edu Die
