Virtually all of the functions available on other RAMTEK Package options are available for the X Windows Option. This option has been ported to X11R5 as well as DecWindows.
When the Ramtek package device is initialized, a X window is created with one of several possible standard sizes or a custom size window may be created. Using low-level library calls, the user may also open additional windows in which the rest of the LONGLIB routines may plot. Note that, as of this writing, a specific process for refreshing the windows has not been written. Thus, refresh events can only occur when a Ramtek routine is currently running. This can lead to delays in refreshing the window when an expose event occurs. An event loop routine which may be called by the user has been provided.
Routines have been included which permit writing image mode data in either byte, integer*2, or integer*4 word sizes to the window. Button and key press events can be captured.
