lib is a library of Xwindows routines for windows management, event
handling, etc. It is quite powerful and pretty universal -
most Unix boxes run some form of Xwindows. Unfortunately, there is
a relatively steep learning curve when it comes to learning how to
use it...
Capabilities
- Create, destroy, move, resize, etc. windows
- Includes a complete set of event handling routines
- Includes a full set of image types (1-bit to 24-bit)
- Lets you display images as overlays, backgrounds, across networks, etc.
