MotifCentral:/Home
Motif Central brings together information about Motif, Xt, Xlib and X11: how they fit together, how to program with them, and where to find the manuals, examples and historical material that explain them.
Begin with the X programming stack, build your first Motif application, or explore the programming resources. The history pages describe the libraries' origins, while the archive guide helps you navigate older documentation.
Understand the layers, then build your first application.
◆ The X programming stack How X11, Xlib, Xt, Athena, Motif and the window manager fit together. ◆ Your first Motif application Build a small C program, connect callbacks, and understand its widget tree. ◆ Widget gallery Recognise common Motif controls, try them in a working program, and choose widgets for your own interface. ◆ X resources Use widget names, classes, application defaults and xrdb to change an Xt application without rebuilding it.
Explore the libraries, their history and working examples.
