Covering X11 Release 5, the Xlib Programming Manual is a complete guide to programming the X library (Xlib), the lowest level of programming interface to X. It includes introductions to internationalization, device-independent color, font service, and scalable fonts. Includes chapters on: X Window System concepts A simple client application Window attributes The graphics context Graphics in practice Color Events Interclient communication Internationalization The Resource Manager A complete client application Window management This manual is a companion to Volume 2, Xlib Reference Manual.

Volume 2, Xlib Reference Manual, is a complete programmer's reference for Xlib. Covers X11 Release 4 and Release 5. Contents Include: Reference pages for Xlib functions Reference pages for event types Permuted index to Xlib functions Description of macros and reference pages for their function versions Listing of the server-side color database Alphabetical index and description of structures Alphabetical index and description of defined symbols KeySyms and their meaning Illustration of the standard cursor font Function group index to the right routine for a particular task Reference pages for Xlib-related Xmu functions (miscellaneous utilities) Four single-page reference aids for the GC and window attributes Features in the third edition include: Over 100 new man pages covering Xcms, internationalization, and the function versions of macros. Updating to the R5 spec. New "Returns" sections on all the functions which return values, making this information easier to find.

Describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF), going into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples to help programmers develop their own code. Tips on programming in general are also included. The authors assume competence with C and familiarity with fundamental X Window System concepts. Chapters are marked by uncut tabs for easy location. The manual is updated for Motif 1.2, but still usable for Motif 1.1. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) is a computer-graphics standard defining an interface between an application program and a computer-graphics system. PHIGS has been actively under development since 1980. Much of this development has been performed by Technical Committee X3H3 under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) procedures. PHIGS is also an international standard sponsored by the United States and developed by the international computer-graphics committee, ISO TC97/SC21/WG2. In addition, PHIGS has been selected as the graphics extension to the X-window standard and as part of the Intel i860 P.A.X. standard. The PHIGS standard has received wide acceptance throughout the computer graphics industry. PHIGS libraries are available on most of the high performance three-dimensional graphics platforms. These include IBM, DEC, HP, Sun, Alliant, Stardent, and Silicon Graphics. Despite this acceptance, there are few texts that provide the software engineer with an overview of the standard. The only currently available PHIGS references are in the form of the ANSI functional description, technical papers, and device-specific PHIGS to the novice PHIGS programmer.

The world of workstations changed dramatically with the release of the X Window System. Users could finally count on a consistent interface across almost all makes and models of computers. At the same time, graphics applications became easily portable.Until recently, X supported only 2D graphics. Now, however, by means of the PEX extensions to X, together with the PEXlib applications programming interface, native, 3D graphics have come to the X Window System. PEXlib allows the programmer to create graphics programs of any complexity, and also provides the basis for higher-level graphics systems and toolkits.The "PEXlib Programming Manual" is the definitive programmer's guide to PEXlib, covering PEX versions 5.0 and 5.1. Containing over 200 illustrations and 19 color plates, it combines a thorough and gentle tutorial approach with valuable reference features. Along the way, it presents the reader with numerous programming examples, as well as a library of helpful utility routines--all of which are available online. You do not any need prior graphics programming experience to use this manual.Written by Tom Gaskins--the widely recognized authority who also authored the O'Reilly and Associates "PHIGS Programming Manual"--this book is the only programming guide to PEXlib you will ever need.

This book describes the X Network Protocol which underlies all software for Version 11 of the X Window System. It includes protocol clarifi-cations of X11 Release 5, as well as the most recent version of the ICCCM and the Logical Font Conventions Manual. It can be used with any release of X.
