Xraw

The Remake of The Athena Widget Set

Abstract

    Xraw is derived from the well-known Athena Widget Set called as Xaw (author Chris D. Reterson formerly MIT X Consortium). Some ideas were taken from three-D Xaw called as Xaw3d (author Kaleb Keithley kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov) and from the well-known Free Widget Foundation library called as FWF (the main person is Bert Bos) and from many others public domain product.
    The main inspiration for Xraw comes from OSF/Motif. So, Xraw is my modest attempt to remake Xaw by addding 3d shadow borders in display and, mainly to approach main public domain widget set as the Xaw is toward to OSF/Motif.
    Some new widgets were created.
    Xraw is compatible with R4 and R5. It compiles cleanly on SunOS 4.1.3, Ultrix 4.4, HP-UX A.09.05.

Acknowledgements

    Xraw began as part of work on the LEaP molecular graphics program in the AMBER Project at Peter Kollman's lab at the University of California, San Francisco.
    Bill Ross commissioned the work and provided helpful suggestions. It really could not have been done without him - thanks, Bill!
