This step-by-step self-study guide combines the popular technologies of the X Window System and the OSF Motif toolkit to help you write powerful graphical user interface (GUI) programs for the UNIX operating system. For experienced UNIX/C programmers, this book covers all aspects of X Windows and Motif, including: the advantages and disadvantages of a window system; event-driven programming; X functions required for a widget-based program; motif functions needed to create and work with the motif widget set; motif widgets along with X event concepts, X colour concepts, and X graphics concepts; and much more. Completely up-to-date through Release 1.1, each chapter in the guide builds on the concepts and facilities presented in previous chapters, allowing programmers to learn, step by step, the techniques and tools needed to program with the Window X system - a popular window system for workstations and PCs sharing their networks.
