   If you have never written a widget, you better use XmDrawArea
   to accomplish what you want. For any specific input, you can
   always use XtAddActions. Trying to learn how to write a widget
   in two days is ... ambicious.
   
   But if you really want to do it, use Dave Young's book. There is
   nothing terribly Motif-dependent in your widget. You don't even have
   to subclass of XmPrimitive, since you won't use any of its resources
   anyway. The only things that make Motif widgets writing a sorrow
   experience are related to Motif traversal - I doubt you need it.
