Hi everyone,

    I am trying to build an application using Performer 1.2,
IRIX 5.3, and Coryphaeus EasyScene (ES)3.0. We are currently
using a mixture of an ES script file, ES main's loop, and our
own added modules (containing Performer code an other ES API
code). My questions maybe more suited for a Coryphaeus
newsgroup, but I figured I would try hear first.

    Here are the following questions:

    1) I would like my application to contain some type of
       GUI similiar to the style presented in the perfly
       example.

       The examples provided with EasyScene seem to use
       an external Motif application that communicates via
       the ES API with the ES process running the simulation.

       Is there a reason why the Performer GUI (pfGUI) functions
       can't be used with the Coryphaeus EasyScene?

    2) I was able to add a panel with various buttons and slider
       bars from the PfGUI into my ES application, but it appears
       that my mouse events for any of the GUI widgets do not
       seem to be processed. In fact, ES uses the mouse events to
       drive the direction of my simulation. I made the
       pfGUIViewpoint a small section of my screen for where the
       panel is located and I did a pfChanViewpoint for the rest
       of the screen dedicated for rendering my scene.

       Has anyone tried mixing the pfGUI with EasyScene and
       can they help steer me in the right direction. An example
       would be greatly appreciated.
     
    3) Can the pfGUI buttons support a pixmap? I would like
       part of my panel to contains buttons with pixmaps that
       look like buttons on a VCR.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Eng
