Window creation/X11
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Create a simple X11 application, using an X11 protocol library such as Xlib or XCB, that draws a box and "Hello World" in a window.
Implementations of this task should avoid using a toolkit as much as possible.

GUISS
Graphical User Interface Support Script is really a language for operating a computer, rather than programming one, so we cannot do this via X11 libraries. The example uses leafpad for our open window, and the box symbols to enclose our text:
Start,Programs,Applications,Editors,Leafpad,Textbox,
Type:[openbox]Hello World[pling][closebox]

Icon and 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.
graphics.icn provides graphics
Additionally, the WOpen procedure and Window.App methods are available.

M2000 Interpreter
M2000 interpteter is a Visual Basic 6 (vb6) gui application, so we can't use X11. When we use Wine, connecting to X11 may occur but this is invisible for interpreter scope.
Ao for this task we use the M2000 way to make a form and do something on it.
\\ M2000 froms (windows) based on a flat, empty with no title bar, vb6 window and a user control.

\\ On linux, wine application run M2000 interpreter traslating vb6 calls to window system.

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 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 SWIG or critcl. This example shows how to do it the latter way:
Low level interface
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);
}
Note that this only does enough for this demo. A full adaptation is too long for RosettaCode...
This could then be used like this:
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
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.
or
package require TclOO
package provide x11 1
namespace eval ::x {
namespace export {[a-z]*}
namespace ensemble create
variable mask
array set mask {
KeyPress 1
KeyRelease 2
ButtonPress 4
ButtonRelease 8
}
proc display {script} {
XOpenDisplay {}
catch {uplevel 1 $script} msg opts
XCloseDisplay
return -options $opts $msg
}
proc eventloop {var handlers} {
upvar 1 $var v
while 1 {
set v [XNextEvent]
uplevel 1 [list switch [dict get $v type] $handlers]
}
}
oo::class create window {
variable w
constructor {x y width height events} {
set m 0
variable ::x::mask
foreach e $events {catch {incr m $mask($e)}}
set w [XCreateSimpleWindow $x $y $width $height $m]
}
method map {} {
XMapWindow $w
}
method unmap {} {
XUnmapWindow $w
}
method fill {x y width height} {
XFillRectangle $w $x $y $width $height
}
method text {x y string} {
XDrawString $w $x $y $string
}
destructor {
XDestroyWindow $w
}
}
}
This script puts the pieces together to carry out the details of the task.
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
}
Improving this by adding more sophisticated event handling and more window methods is left as an exercise.
