I'd like to draw some labels/axes around a window ( called viewport in a usual graphics world). For that purpose, I tried to change a clip region using XSetClipRectangles, but it only works for within a window. Is there any way to do that? 2) Rotate text Mainly for the same reason as the above, we need to rotate the text in the specified angle, at least vertically as well as horizontally. 3) Transparent Window (Overlay window) How can we make a transparent window using X? Is it possible? 4) Recently, I heard about X.V11R3 , but do you know when it'll be distributed? What are the major changes in R3 compared with R2? Those issues are very critical for our applications, so I really appriciate your help. Best Regards, Kenzo Hara Schlumberger spar!ascway!hara@decwr1.dec.com
