View source for Window creation/X11

{{task|GUI}}{{requires|Graphics}}

;Task:
Create a simple '''X11''' application, &nbsp; using an '''X11''' protocol library such as Xlib or XCB, &nbsp; that draws a box and &nbsp; "Hello World" &nbsp; in a window. 

Implementations of this task should &nbsp; ''avoid using a toolkit'' &nbsp; as much as possible.

{{field attention|Common Lisp|X11|This example was written in near-total ignorance of X11 by consulting the [http://www.cliki.net/CLX%20Manual CLX manual] to find equivalents for the parts of the C example. It was also only tested with [[Mac OS X]] X11, which is not exactly normal. — (ps: Testing on Linux (Fedora 21/x86-64), it seems to display black-on-black, so the "Hello" is lost.). Testing new code changes (i.e. adding background and foreground) should fix the issue, it was tested on LinuxMint 17.1/x86-64.
Also tested on Debian; with a minor change on the text position it creates a pixel perfect replica of the C example. Could this warning be removed then?}}

This example uses CLX, which is the de facto standard X11 library for Common Lisp. CLX is not a binding to Xlib; it is a Lisp library implementing the X11 protocol.

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}==
Icon and Unicon provide a portable graphics implementation that does not rely upon a toolkit.  The intent is to be platform independent and the same code runs on multiple platforms without change and producing results with only minor variations.  Icon and Unicon graphics are implemented in X-Windows as well as MS-Windows and others.  There are additional 3D graphics capabilities implemented using opengl.
<syntaxhighlight lang="icon">procedure main()
   W1 := open("X-Window","g","size=250,250","bg=black","fg=red") | stop("unable to open window")

=={{header|Tcl}}==
Tcl does not come with a low-level connection to the X protocol, as it has long been distributed with [[Tk]] which offers a [[Simple Windowed Application|much higher-level interface]] (and which is portable to other platforms too). This means that the interface has to be crafted directly. This can be done with either [http://www.swig.org/ SWIG] or [[critcl]]. This example shows how to do it the latter way:

===Low level interface===
{{libheader|critcl}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">package provide xlib 1
package require critcl

critcl::clibraries -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11
critcl::ccode {
    #include <X11/Xlib.h>
    static Display *d;
    static GC gc;
}

# Display connection functions
critcl::cproc XOpenDisplay {Tcl_Interp* interp char* name} ok {
    d = XOpenDisplay(name[0] ? name : NULL);
    if (d == NULL) {
	Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "cannot open display", NULL);
	return TCL_ERROR;
    }
    gc = DefaultGC(d, DefaultScreen(d));
    return TCL_OK;
}
critcl::cproc XCloseDisplay {} void {
    XCloseDisplay(d);
}

# Basic window functions
critcl::cproc XCreateSimpleWindow {
    int x  int y  int width  int height  int events
} int {
    int s = DefaultScreen(d);
    Window w = XCreateSimpleWindow(d, RootWindow(d,s), x, y, width, height, 0,
	    BlackPixel(d,s), WhitePixel(d,s));
    XSelectInput(d, w, ExposureMask | events);
    return (int) w;
}
critcl::cproc XDestroyWindow {int w} void {
    XDestroyWindow(d, (Window) w);
}
critcl::cproc XMapWindow {int w} void {
    XMapWindow(d, (Window) w);
}
critcl::cproc XUnmapWindow {int w} void {
    XUnmapWindow(d, (Window) w);
}

# Event receiver
critcl::cproc XNextEvent {Tcl_Interp* interp} char* {
    XEvent e;
    XNextEvent(d, &e);
    switch (e.type) {
	case Expose:	return "type expose";
	case KeyPress:	return "type key";
	/* etc. This is a cheap hack version. */
	default:	return "type ?";
    }
}

# Painting functions
critcl::cproc XFillRectangle {int w int x int y int width int height} void {
    XFillRectangle(d, (Window)w, gc, x, y, width, height);
}
critcl::cproc XDrawString {int w int x int y Tcl_Obj* msg} void {
    int len;
    const char *str = Tcl_GetStringFromObj(msg, &len);
    XDrawString(d, (Window)w, gc, x, y, str, len);
}</syntaxhighlight>
Note that this only does enough for this demo. A full adaptation is too long for RosettaCode...

This could then be used like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">package require xlib

XOpenDisplay {}
set w [XCreateSimpleWindow 10 10 100 100 1]
XMapWindow $w
while {[lindex [XNextEvent] 0] == "expose"} {
    XFillRectangle $w 20 20 10 10
    XDrawString $w 10 50 "Hello, World!"
}
XDestroyWindow $w
XCloseDisplay</syntaxhighlight>
===Higher level interface===
Just because there is a low level package does not mean that it is pleasant to use from Tcl code. Therefore this second package wraps it up inside a higher-level package that provides a more natural way of interacting.

	method text {x y string} {
	    XDrawString $w $x $y $string
	}
	destructor {
	    XDestroyWindow $w
	}
    }
}</syntaxhighlight>
This script puts the pieces together to carry out the details of the task.
<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">package require x11

# With a display connection open, create and map a window
x display {
    set w [x window new 10 10 100 100 KeyPress]
    $w map

    x eventloop ev {
	expose {
	    # Paint the window
	    $w fill 20 20 10 10
	    $w text 10 50 "Hello, World!"
	}
	key {
	    # Quit the event loop
	    break
	}
    }

    $w destroy
}</syntaxhighlight>
Improving this by adding more sophisticated event handling and more window methods is left as an exercise.
