I wonder if anybody on the net can supply any information or recommend a
decent book on X-windows, for the following application.

I will be a second year computer science student next year and during that
time we will be doing a group project, which will involve displaying a plan 
of the computer science department. We have amiga 2000's that can run the 
X-windows, and I thought it would be a good idea to use them. The main things
that I need to know are how to do pop-up menus, to draw lines, and display
text in them. I am quite a competent c-programmer, having learnt how to program
in C++ this year, so understanding the code shouldn't be any problem.
We use a UNIX system here, so there will be c libraries available. Does 
anybody know which ones are useful? 


Any help or would be greatly appreciated.
