Window creation
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Display a GUI window. The window need not have any contents, but should respond to requests to be closed.

GLUT
Compile command: gcc -I /usr/include/ -lglut -o window window_glut.c
Note that we aren't registering a painting or drawing callback, so the window will be created with nothing drawn in it. This is almost certain to lead to a strange appearance; On many systems, dragging the window around will appear to drag a copy of what was underneath where the window was when it was originally created.
We are registering a keypress callback, which isn't strictly necessary; It simply allows us to use a keypress to close the program rather than depending on the windowing system the program is run under.
// A C+GLUT implementation of the Creating a Window task at Rosetta Code
// http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Creating_a_Window
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
// This function is not strictly necessary to meet the requirements of the task.
void onKeyPress(unsigned char key, int x, int y)
{
// If you have any cleanup or such, you need to use C's
// onexit routine for registering cleanup callbacks.
exit(0);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
// Pulls out any command-line arguments that are specific to GLUT,
// And leaves a command-line argument set without any of those arguments
// when it returns.
// (If you want a copy, take a copy first.)
glutInit(&argc, argv);
// Tell GLUT we want to create a window.
// It won't *actually* be created until we call glutMainLoop below.
glutCreateWindow("Goodbye, World!");
// Register a callback to handle key press events (so we can quit on
// when someone hits a key) This part is not necessary to meet the
// requirements of the task.
glutKeyboardFunc(&onKeyPress);
// Put the execution of the app in glut's hands. Most GUI environments
// involve a message loop that communicate window events. GLUT handles
// most of these with defaults, except for any we register callbacks
// for. (Like the onKeyPress above.)

Delphi
This first example is a minimalist approach using Delphi's standard Window (form) creation procedure. In Delphi 7, this will create a single Window executable of 362KB.
// The project file (Project1.dpr)
program Project1;
uses
Forms,
// Include file with Window class declaration (see below)
Unit0 in 'Unit1.pas' {Form1};
{$R *.res}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
Application.Run;
end.
// The Window class declaration
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Forms;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm} // The window definition resource (see below)
end.
// A textual rendition of the Window (form) definition file (Unit1.dfm)
object Form1: TForm1
Left = 469
Top = 142
Width = 800
Height = 600
Caption = 'Form1'
Color = clBtnFace
Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -11
Font.Name = 'MS Shell Dlg 2'
Font.Style = []
OldCreateOrder = False
Position = poScreenCenter
PixelsPerInch = 96
TextHeight = 13
end
This second example demonstrates a 'pure' Windows API approach (i.e. NOT using the Delphi Visual Component Library). In Delphi 7, this will create a single Window executable of 15KB.

M2000 Interpreter
Window has title by default the name of variable, here MyForm Window by default has 6000 twips width by 4000 twips height
Here we open MyForm as modal window (with 1 as first parameter, after "Show")
Window show a square in left side of title (we can change this to be at right), so this close the window (if we have proper event function, we can quit the closing). Also using key combination Alt-F4 close window too (also send event).
Window open in the monitor where we see the mouse pointer.
M2000 Windows have own decoration, independent from platform (same to Xp, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Linux using Wine).

Although R cannot create windows itself, it has wrappers for several GUI toolkits. tcl/tk is shipped with R by default, and you can create windows with that.

Tcl
Loading the Tk package is all that is required to get an initial window:
package require Tk
If you need an additional window:
toplevel .top
If you are using the increasingly popular tclkit under MS Windows, all you have to do is associate the tclkit with the extension “.tcl” and then create an empty file with, e.g., with the name nothing.tcl. Double-clicking that will “open a window” (an empty one).

TXR
TXR has no library module for connecting to SDL, X11's Xlib, or GTK2.
All of these examples are completely self-contained, using the FFI capability in TXR, which can bind to any library whose interface is defined in terms of C functions and types.
No C header file is processed, and not a single line of C has to be compiled.
SDL
A wait for a SDL key-up event is added, missing in the C version, so that the window does not just appear and disappear.
Note that SDL's header file uses a enum
for the event constants like SDL_KEYUP
. But then in union SD_Event
, the event field declared as UInt8
. (That's how it appears on my Ubuntu system; newer versions of SDL seems to have switched the type field, and other fields of the event structures, to UInt32
.)
Here, we exploit TXR's capability to define enumerations of specific types: we make the event enumeration based on uint8
, giving it a typedef
name, and then use that typedef
in the SD_Event
union.
(defvarl SDL_INIT_VIDEO #x00000020)
(defvarl SDL_SWSURFACE #x00000000)
(defvarl SDL_HWPALETTE #x20000000)
(typedef SDL_Surface (cptr SDL_Surface))
(typedef SDL_EventType (enumed uint8 SDL_EventType
(SDL_KEYUP 3)
(SDL_QUIT 12)))
(typedef SDL_Event (union SD_Event
(type SDL_EventType)
(pad (array 8 uint32))))
(with-dyn-lib "libSDL.so"
(deffi SDL_Init "SDL_Init" int (uint32))
(deffi SDL_SetVideoMode "SDL_SetVideoMode"
SDL_Surface (int int int uint32))
(deffi SDL_GetError "SDL_GetError" str ())
(deffi SDL_WaitEvent "SDL_WaitEvent" int ((ptr-out SDL_Event)))
(deffi SDL_Quit "SDL_Quit" void ()))
(when (neql 0 (SDL_Init SDL_INIT_VIDEO))
(put-string `unable to initialize SDL: @(SDL_GetError)`)
(exit nil))
(unwind-protect
(progn
(SDL_SetVideoMode 800 600 16 (logior SDL_SWSURFACE SDL_HWPALETTE))
(let ((e (make-union (ffi SDL_Event))))
(until* (memql (union-get e 'type) '(SDL_KEYUP SDL_QUIT))
(SDL_WaitEvent e))))
(SDL_Quit))
X11
One difference between the C original and this one is that the XLib macros for direct structure access, like DefaultGC
, DefaultScreen
or WhitePixel
are not used; rather the correspoding C functions are used via FFI: XDefaultScreen
and so on. The macro approach can be mimiced in detail, at the cost of a significant increase in verbosity (cloning the full declaration of the _XDisplay
struct declaration, and reproducing the macros).
Also, this uses an enumeration for the events, so when the event type is decoded from the XEvent
union, it comes out as a Lisp symbol.
(typedef XID uint32)
(typedef Window XID)
(typedef Drawable XID)
(typedef Display (cptr Display))
(typedef GC (cptr GC))
(typedef XEventType (enum _XEventType
(KeyPress 2)
(Expose 12)))
(defvarl KeyPressMask (ash 1 0))
(defvarl ExposureMask (ash 1 15))
(typedef XEvent (union _XEvent
(type XEventType)
(pad (array 24 long))))
(defvarl NULL cptr-null)

Win32/Win64
This solution is based on the "Your First Windows Program" example in MSDN. It registers a Window class, creates a Window and runs a Windows message loop against a custom WndProc
function that is written in Lisp, which handles WM_QUIT
and WM_PAINT
events exactly like its C counterpart. All necessary basic types, structures, constants and foreign functions are declared using the TXR FFI language.
Note that the CW_USEDEFAULT
constant in the Windows header files is defined as 0x80000000
. This is out of range of the signed int
arguments of CreateWindowEx
with which it is used. Microsoft is relying on an implementation-defined C conversion to turn this value into the most negative int
. When the original constant was used in the TXR translation, TXR's FFI uncovered this little problem by throwing an exception arising from the out-of-range conversion attempt. The fix is to specify the correct value directly as #x-80000000
.

Creates an empty window with ID 'A' near the upper left corner of document area, with height of 20 text lines and width of 80 characters.
Win_Create(A, 2, 5, 20, 80)
Note: if you run this command while in Visual Mode, you should adjust your active window smaller so that the created window will not be hidden behind it (since the active window is always on top).
