It works in AIXwindows enviroment with no problems, in fact not noticing that it is working in the window. You do not have to worry about handling events, it is done by software. Although if you want to handle some events or create some resources yourself, you are free to do it. In manual there is an exaple program showing how to create window using X Toolkit and make graPHIGS use it. /************************************************************************ / _ __ / email: raf@fib.upc.es / / / | __ / / phone: +34-3-4016940 fax : +34-3-4017040 / / /_/ / / -- /-----------------------------------------------------/ / / \ /_/_ / / Disclaimer : / / / / And this is my opinion but I disagree with it. / ************************************************************************/
