Rendering Widgets: The Rendering Widgets provide the ability to display any PostScript image using the Display PostScript system and will automatically control the scale of corresponding interface graphics. These Renderings Widgets can be used in conjunction with all other OSF/Motif-compliant widgets for the creation of application interfaces.
See-Through Controls: For the first time, it is possible to create see-through widgets (i.e., widgets with transparent backgrounds). These see-through widgets allow developers to place a complete graphical user interface on top of any existing PostScript image. As with the Rendering Widgets, See-Through Controls can be used in conjunction with all other OSF/Motif-compliant widgets.
Visual Manager: The Visual Manager widgets allow developers to easily control the display and position of component children (i.e., widgets on top of other widgets). For example, if the PostScript image associated with the parent widget is scaled, all widget children will be automatically scaled to keep them correctly positioned.
The Visual Manager widgets also allow the children to be hidden or displayed to match the current scaled size of the PostScript image (for example, buttons may appear or disappear as the user zooms in and out).
