I am writing a multimedia media rendering engine using Motif.
My documents have a very simplified SGML structure.  I need to
exercise very intimate control over character placement on a
text canvas.  I also need to be able to render X bitmaps on the
text canvas.

I have only used "cooked" Motif widgets and other gadgets.  I'm
not sure how to control pixel location on a canvas.  Do I locate
the underlying X window and use Xlib commands.  Could someone
point me in the right direction.  Please reply by e-mail to
liwen@calvin.sbc.com - thanks very much.
