Talk:Xlib

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know how old the version of the O'Reilly book in http://www.sbin.org/doc/Xlib/ is? It mentions X11R5 but not R6. Mostly, though, I'm just amused with the line from the introduction that says "the X11 subroutine library (Xlib) is expected to be stable for several years and to be at least a de facto industry standard." (Heh, think they consider it to have been "several years" yet?) --Dirk Gently 05:00:42, 2005-08-19 (UTC)

Does anyone know where I can get a *download* for Xlib / X11 / X Windoes for my Redhat Linux 9. I was looking for a download for last few days ! Here also I couldnt find the information regarding the download. <skhadar@gmail.com> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.54.85.131 (talkcontribs) 13. dec 2005 kl. 07:01

[edit] To do

  • description on how using Xlib differs from the direct use of the X protocol (which is almost never done)
  • functions that are specific to Xlib (resources, contexts)
  • images (difference with pixmaps)

Anything else? - Liberatore(T) 19:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review of a related article

I submitted X Window core protocol for peer review, as I intend to candidate it for featured status. I would appreciate comments (Peer review page). - Liberatore(T) 18:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GTK

AFAIK GTK is not build over xlib directly but over GDK which is indeed over xlib —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.34.209.95 (talk • contribs) 27. aug 2006 kl. 16:25
