Dear ROOTers, at the ROOT 2000 Workshop Betrand Bellenot volunteered to attempt to port the ROOT native GUI to Windows. After some false starts he is now, since a few months, on the right track and progressing at a good pace. The screenshots at http://root.cern.ch/root/win32progress/Win32GUI.html give a good idea of the current status. The port uses the low level Win32 graphics API and does not make use of any X11 compatibily library and does not require an X server. As you can see the look on Windows is exactly the same as on Unix and MacOS X. Once this work is finished, the ROOT GUI classes can be used as a truely cross-platform GUI framework. Cheers, Fons. -- Org: CERN, European Laboratory for Particle Physics.
