Hello,

I just wrote a program to simulate mass attraction (German:
Massenanziehung) in a simple way and am now concerned with getting
some "visual feedback" rather than looking at plain coordinates.

What I look for is a way to draw geometrical primitives (e.g. points,
lines, circles) to an X11 display. I know there are several bindings
for widget sets and there is CLIM. But these seem to be too complex
for this problem. I just want a black screen where I can draw. :)
Does anyone has suggestions or examples? I mainly use CMU CL.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Julian

PS. No. It's not homework.

CLX should be available from where you got cmucl. Here is a manual for
the CLX API: <http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~unk6/clxman/>

I think the simplest way would be to use xmgrace. This is a 2d-drawing program
for X11 that can be controlled through a pipe.
