X Toolkit Intrinsics, Vol. 5

The X Toolkit Intrinsics Reference Manual is a complete programmer's reference for the X Toolkit. It provides reference pages for each of the Xt functions as well as the widget classes defined by Xt and the Athena widgets.

This volume is based on Xt documentation from the X Consortium and has been re-edited, reorganized, and expanded. Contents include:

• Reference pages for each of the Xt Intrinsics and macros, organized alphabetically for ease of use.
• Reference pages for the interface definitions of functions registered using other Xt functions.
• Reference pages for the Core, Composite, and Constraint widget methods.
• Reference pages for the Object, RectObj, Core, Composite, Constraint, and Shell widget classes defined by Xt.
• Reference pages for Athena widget classes.
• Reference pages for Xt-related Xmu functions.
• Permuted index.
• Many appendices and quick reference aids.

The third edition of Volume 5 has been completely revised. In addition to covering Release 4 and Release 5 of X, all the man pages have been completely rewritten for clarity and ease of use, and new examples and descriptions have been added throughout the book.

This manual is a companion to Volume 4M, X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual.

Volume 5, "X Toolkit Intrinsics Reference Manual" is a complete programmer's reference for the The X Toolkit (Xt). Xt is a library of C functions that ease the development of graphical user interfaces under the X Window System by using pre-defined interface components called "widgets." This book covers the X Toolkit Intrinsics in depth, and contains reference pages for the Athena widgets. The third edition has been updated to cover both Release 4 and Release 5 of Xt, and each reference page has been revised and reorganized to be easier to use and understand.
This book is designed to be used with Volume Four, " X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual, " which describes how to build applications using the Xt Intrinsics and provides a complete tutorial with programming examples.
