I have struggled all morning trying to get a simple program to draw a grid
working using Xaw's viewport widget. After trying everything I could think
of, I gave up, and thought I would see what happened if I used the HP
widgets WorkSpace widget instead. Well, I should have done it earlier - the
program worked immediately.

It is a very simple program - it creates a viewport/workspace widget, sets
a graphics context, then does a few calls to XDrawLine. Can anyone give me
an explanation why I get no lines with the viewport widget? Is this widget
unsuitable for graphics, and if so, what Xaw widget should I be using? I can
mail the program (with ifdef's for HP) if this will help.

Thanks in advance.
