Asian Application Developer's Guide

Toolkit Use and Application Interfaces

Two methods are available for programming applications for Asian Solaris software:

  1. Write an application that includes its own direct interface to Xlib.

  2. Use Motif and other X toolkits that incorporate an XIM API in their interfaces to Xlib (usually the simpler method).

For more information, see Common Desktop Environment: Internationalization Programmers Guide. This guide provides instructions on writing international programs.

To write a program that interfaces directly with Xlib, a developer must use the internationalized APIs described earlier in this chapter. For additional information on the APIs, see the X11R6 documentation.
