PI

An interface between {Prolog} {application program}s and the

{X Window System} that aims to be independent from the

{Prolog} {engine}, provided that it has a {Quintus} {foreign

function} interface (e.g. {SICStus} and {YAP}). It is mostly

written in {Prolog} and is divided in two libraries: Edipo -

the lower level interface to the {Xlib} functions; and

Ytoolkit - the higher level user interface toolkit.
