You might like to have a look at InterViews, a C++ user interface
toolkit.  InterViews includes a structured graphics library that
does all that you mention and much more.  InterViews is currently
implemented on top of X (both X10 and X11) on SUN and MicroVAX
workstations, but it is designed to be easily ported to other window
systems.

You can get InterViews several ways

    1.	From the X Window System (X11R2) tape, in the 'contrib' directory

    2.	Via anonymous ftp from lurch.stanford.edu (36.22.0.14)

	You can get the binaries (choose your machine and X version) or
	the sources.  There are also PostScript versions of a couple of
	papers there.  Manual pages are in with the source files.

    3.	By sending a stamped, self-addressed tape (Sun, TK50, or 1/2") to

	    Prof. Mark Linton
	    CIS 213
	    Stanford University
	    Stanford, CA 94305

	You will get a hardcopy of the documentation, too.

    4.	From the C++ USENIX distribution tape (does anyone know if this
	has been released yet?)
