What about some cool facts? How does a simple Motif program look like?
This XView program creates a window with a demo text:
#include <xview/xview.h>
#include <xview/frame.h>
#include <xview/panel.h>
#define X_SIZE 200
#define Y_SIZE 100
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
Frame frame;
Panel panel;
xv_init(XV_INIT_ARGC_PTR_ARGV, &argc, argv, NULL);
frame = (Frame)xv_create(NULL, FRAME,
FRAME_LABEL, argv[0],
XV_WIDTH, X_SIZE,
XV_HEIGHT, Y_SIZE,
NULL);
panel = (Panel)xv_create(frame, PANEL, NULL);
(void)xv_create(panel, PANEL_MESSAGE,
PANEL_LABEL_STRING, "Hello World",
NULL);
xv_main_loop(frame);
}
I know this program doesn't do anything put it's easy to understand!
I Motif equally easy to understand and what happens when things get
a bit more complicated? My experience with XView is that some things
is very simple and other things is rather complicated - any followups?
