I am going to be prototyping an object-oriented requirements analysis tool
this year.  We are presently planning on using an expert system shell to do
it but I would also like to investigate whether there are modules to do much
of the windowing and graphics editing.  The target is the Sun 3 using Sun
View and eventually X.

The questions are: 1)are there X or SunView windowing modules/bindings with the
usual capabilities (slide bars, buttons, pop/pulldown menus, etc) and 2)
modules to draw graphs with primitive objects/icons (such as circles, dots,
rectangles and freeform) and directed arcs (emanating from and going to icon
centers, general edges and specialized locations), and 3) advanced goodies
such as snapping and rubberbanding.  Any help on data structures for graphic
networks would also be appreciated.

My hidden agenda is convincing myself that doing it in Modula-2 with adequate
module support would be superior to prototyping using the expert system
shell.  Any recommendations on modules is appreciated.  They can be
commercial or public domain.  Experiences doing similar projects also welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.  Flames welcome.
