Hello Prasad,
Your requirement is understood.
I do not have what you exactly want right now. But there
are a couple of alternatives I can provide.
1) Cint + Tcl/Tk
Cint and Tcl/Tk are integrated as WildC++ interpreter.
This application is included in pure cint package in
lib/WildCard directory. You can use Tk graphics library
and tcshell through Cint.
Right now, there is a minor problem in lib/WildCard/setup.
But basically, you can build the wildc application by
changing /usr/X11/xxx to /usr/X11R6/xxx in setup script.
I'll fix this problem in next release (5.14.86)
After building the wildc application, try
$ wildc wildc.wc
to find out its capability
2) Root
Because of its powerful graphic capability, I recommend
you to take ROOT as a candidate. Although ROOT has many
things that you do not need, it can become a strong fundation
for making your application.
3) Cint + xlib
X11 library is integrated as xlib.dll. This package is
not included in the cint distribution now. I'll add it
to cint 5.14.86. Using Xlib, you need to write your own
graphics classes to make your dream come true.
4) Cint + opengl
A long time ago, I've had integrated part of opengl library
as opengl.dll on Windows. I did not go very far into this
direction. I need to dig my old hard disk for finding this
old code. Anyway, it won't help you much. If you'd like to
work on opengl, it will be better to build a new library.
If you know anything about opengl support in RedHat6.2 Linux,
please let me know. I can take a look at it.
Thank you
Masaharu Goto
