I am a new Unidraw/InterViews user, and I am trying to build a graphical editor (obviously). I am having a lot of trouble understanding what is going on--partly because I am using InterViews 3.1beta, and Unidraw seems to still depend on InterViews 2.6 backward-compatibility. A few of my (hopefully easy) questions: (1) Can I use the 3d InterViews WidgetSet with Unidraw? (2) (Most important) I am trying to define new Components for my editor. John Vlissides' thesis states that the easiest way to do this is to compose existing Components. Sounds great to me, but I can't find any examples in the distributed applications where this is done. All components seem to be atomic. Could someone please point out a composed Component in one of the distributed tools (idraw, ibuild, etc), or send me a simple example? (3) I fetched schem from interviews.stanford.edu, but I am having trouble compiling it. Has anyone compiled this with 3.1b? (4) Is there a tutorial somewhere on creating new Components for Unidraw editors? Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Sanjay Mehta.
