The idea is that an application just constructs an graph and lets the display server handling all the dirty work (a little bit like an unbloated svg-counterpart ;-). This would IMHO be a very fine thing to create GUI applications, eg. an webbrowser would simply transform the HTML+CSS to an image graph, load it into a viewport (which handles clipping, scrolling, zooming, etc on its own) and done. Ontop of this an widget toolkit (also a 9p-server) could use a similar approach to model an application's GUI as a graph (of widgets, etc) and transform it into an image graph. Does anyone know if there already had been something like that ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 174 7066481 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
