If you have written a widget, then most of your code would probably be
Xt Intrinsics or Xlib calls. If so, then there should be little or no
change to that code. I ported a widget from HP widgets to Motif with
no problems.

If your widget is a composite widget that uses specific HP widgets, then
you will have to find a similar widget in the Motif set. My feeling is
that there is a *pretty* good match between then two (add your favorite
disclaimer). 

A graph widget most likely uses a bunch of "generic" widgets (like
push buttons) and Xlib routines to draw the interconnections. I
don't see that you will have to change much except for some minor
naming convention differences.
