Hi there! I saw at SIGGRAPH in Chicago an AVS -demo that interested me a lot. As far as I understood, in that demo program AVS was able to draw inside a Motif X -window. So there was a normal Motif program that opened a X window. After that AVS was told to draw inside that window and an end user wouldn't even know he's using AVS. If that was possible, I could program my user interface useing Motif. And instead of using some graphics libraries to draw 3D things I could use AVS networks. I'd have all the power of AVS with the flexibility of all other ways to create X applications! It could be something like: Instead of the network like: | | SOME MODULES | RENDER GEOMETRY | DISPLAY PIXMAP I could create a network like: | | SOME MODULES | RENDER GEOMETRY | DISPLAY PIXMAP IN WINDOW (window id) Or the solution could be totally different. Anyway I saw it working!! Does anybody know anything about that?? Ari Jaaksi
