Recently, I have been using XGKS in place of NCAR graphics GKS system.
This has brought some questions about additional capibilty to mind
(as always is the case).  Maybe someone in wonderful X-Land has also
asked about these capabilities and came up with a solution:

1. I'd like to be able to produce PostScript directly from XGKS' X-Window,
instead of having to go thru this metafile buisness.  It seems all the
information is contained sybolically in XGKS, so producting a PostScript
plot directly from it should (let's underline that word) be straightforward.

2. I'd like some kind of XGKS Widget that you can create which captures
all XGKS input and output instead of XGKS creating its own window.  Its
much better for a GUI to have control over all its widgets instead of
its output being thrown up in some other window.

Well, thats my wish list.  Anyone have any presents for me? (I know its
a little EARLY for Chistmas, but...)

Thanks much,
