XTC - The X Tool Collection

Date and Time

Wednesday, February 17, 1999 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Location

MIT Building 3-133

Presenter

Eugene O'Neil - eugene cs umb edu

Summary

Abstract

Eugene O'Neil will be demonstrating the X Tool Collection (XTC), an X Window client library written in pure Java. XTC bypasses the need for native C libraries such as xlib by directly implementing the low-level X Window protocol, taking full advantage of Java's object-oriented, multi-threaded environment. XTC is remarkably efficient for a "pure" Java library, since it relies on the X Window server to do most of the real work. The following topics will be discussed: * the origin and goals of XTC * protocol requests and replies * event handling * polygons and bezier curves * fonts and text * images and pixmaps
