Abstract
This paper describes a library for the creation and manipulation of geometrically defined graphical objects in The X Window System Objects are arranged in a 2.5D space, and can be transformed, made invisible or visible, or have their priority changed. Transformation of objects occurs immediately and with full damage repair, thus providing an essential requirement for the support of interactive graphics. The paper reports on an experimental implementation of the library and also discusses the implications of graphical objects in the X environment.
