We use workstations running X as the environment for teaching our CS
curriculum, including first level programming courses. In an introductory
C course, the X programming model, even with the popular toolkits are
out of reach for this group.

Still being able to do some simple graphics from C programs would be
very motivational. Has anyone done an X graphics library with a very
simple minded interface? I have in mind something like the graphics support
that goes with popular microcomputer Basic and Pascal interpreters.
