gplot itself is a system independent cgm interpreter, with the concepts of output devices and controllers. Thus, if gplot has just an XLib output device, it will draw into a window, but will not handle any events. Gplotm is compiled and linked with a Motif-type controller and an XLib output device; it should handle expose events correctly. There's also a gplotxv, etc.. I started on a java implementation of the gplot cgm interpreter (I'm the gplot author), and it doesn't look too difficult, but the java drawing capabilities are a bit too limited for an elegant CGM implementation at the moment. I hear that there's a new drawing package due from Sun, so I'm waiting on that. -Phil Andrews, andrews@psc.edu
