What I CAN do: Draw squares, hexes, grids in a window's presentation space. Vary the size or number of such figures when the window is resized (the entire presentation space is redrawn with graphics primatives when this happens). Create and manipulate scroll bars. What I WANT to do: Draw a fairly complex figure once in a virtual presentation space and use the window on the screen as a view into the complex figure. I think I have two questions, one how to do this in concept (presentation space, graphics segments, retained graphics...I don't understand them very well), the other what routines to call to accomplish it. The Technical Reference Library should answer the second one, but even having read _Programming Guide, Vol III_, understanding the first still eludes me. Any illumination would be greatly appreciated, be it in news or e-mail. Thanks, -bcl Brian C. Ladd Graduate Student & *NIX Court Jester University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill P.S. - I am using G++-EMX and attempting to extend the API; if anyone who has the IBM OS/2 header files could send me the information on value sets or slider bars (and maybe even the index numbers for their functions? Or a way to figure that out without any of the *Set/2 tools), it would probably make my life a lot easier.
