Warning: novice alert.  This may be a stupid question...

I am using wcl to prototype an X version of an application, that has a
large-ish graph and a pop-up control panel.  I am using the Athena
widgets as I don't have motif yet.  The panel part is OK, but I cannot
work out what sort of widget I need to use to get a resizable drawing
surface (like a Canvas in SunView).

Any ideas, pointers to similar sorts of code, pointers to man pages,
etc.  appreciated.

(For the moment, I am using a large Label widget so I can work on the
rest of the project.  Is there some way to access the pixmap of the
label and use that as a drawing surface?)
