Full Description

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.

"At long last I have finally managed to get my hands on number 4 and 5 in the X Window System Seris of books from O'Reilly & Associates, and while I have only had a chance to read through them for one afternoon, I can already say that they are miles ahead of the documentation that comes on the X tape.

"Just one example. I have spent the last few days on and off trying to figure out how to specify an icon for my Xt based application to use. I was totally unable to decrypt the toolkit documentation, so one of the first things I did was lookup "icon" in the index, and there it was, right on page 278 of volume 4, not just an explanation, but example code that does exactly what I want to do.

"Other goodies: The source code to all the example programs is available on uunet and on the X11R4 contrib tape. The reference manual actually documents the class hierarchy (something you previously always had to dig up in the private .h file when you wanted to subclass something).

"The Acknowledgments section contains an apology for taking so long to get the book into print, but I am more than willing to wait for a quality product like this.

"Warning: As I said above, this is just a first impression, perhaps I will find some nits to pick as I delve deeper into them, but so far, all I have is an unqualified "Bravo!" --Message-ID:
