Question:  I am working with XView 2.0 and have had a lot of success so far.
I am now at the point where I need to display 2D 8 bit images in windows.
I need different sized images and sometimes I need several dozen small
(40x40) images on the screen.  I have the raw data in arrays of
unsigned char image[][];

Do i use pixmaps or do I use XImages?  How do I use them?  I understand
some of the differences but I'd like to know the pros and cons of both.


It is my understanding that I use the low level Xlib functions to do the 
dirty work.  I've managed to get bounding rectangles and such up but haven't
had luck with the actual XImages.  

HELP.

We thank you for your support.
