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??
