Hi James, the latest version of ROOT fully supports a cross platform GUI (X11, Win32). On Windows use the win32gdk version, which fully implements all TG classes (this will soon become the default win32 version). Then there will later be the version that will use Qt as cross-platform back-end. That is the version Valeriy Fine is currently developing. The main interest for the Qt version is that Qt runs on some other platforms that don't support X11 and Win32, i.e. framebuffer devices. Cheers, Fons.
