- Does anyone know of a (widely [freely] available) graphics library
- that could be used to replace Sun's GKS (Graphics Kernel System).
-
- I have a really great app written using GKS, except that any target system
- MUST also contain the library (although I don't think the lib is a DLL).
-
- Is X considered a graphics lib?
-
- By the way, the app I created is an implementation of the star cluster
- experiment described in Scientific American's Computer Recreations back
- some time between '85 and '87. Since this was for a graphics class and
- the prof was looking for specific things, I added interactivity, allowing
- model editing. The resulting project is really neat! but I can't show anyone
- outside of school!
-
- thanks!
