XRT Professional Developer's Suite (PDS)

World-Class Widgets for Motif Development

XRT PDS is a complete collection of powerful widgets and utilities to help you build improved GUIs quickly, easily and inexpensively so you can focus on the business logic of your application. This Motif component development solution includes a UNIX-based, high-performance object-oriented output engine that you can embed into client- or server-side applications and use to generate print or web-based documents.

  • Build high-quality user interfaces in record time
  • Get a collection of the seven best Motif widgets and utilities for much less than the cost of buying each widget separately
  • Create documents with multiple columns, tables, running headers and footers, multiple fonts, text sizes and colors and embedded images – no knowledge of PostScript is required


  • XRT/graph – The world's most awarded, most popular 2D charting and graphing widget now comes with property pages, more chart types and many enhancements.
  • XRT/table – This handy, multi-purpose, high performance widget allows you to display and edit tabular information.
  • XRT/3d – Easily build stunning, informative and dynamic 3D charts and graphs.
  • XRT/gear – The basic component collection (tab, outliner/tree, progress, tips, printing, icons and much more) that Unix Review Magazine calls "the right choice."
  • XRT/field – Quickly build data-entry fields – no more tedious XmText validation code to write.
  • XRT/gauge – Includes seven highly customizable dial and gauge Motif widgets that measure and display the value of a property or attribute.
  • XRT/pageformatter – Output to PostScript, PCL, or PDF for printed and web-based reporting.
  • XRT PDS also includes:
    • MVC (Model/View/Controller) software you can optionally install for XRT/graph, XRT/table or XRT/3d to easily create multiple dynamic views of a single set of data.
    • Integrations with all popular GUI Builder tools, including Builder Xcessory, TeleUSE, UIM/X and X-Designer and SPARCworks/Visual.
    • Documentation: Over 1,200 pages of high quality printed documentation, plus online (.pdf) docs.

XRT Shared Libraries

XRT components are available in a shared library format on most supported platforms. With shared libraries the XRT component libraries are not stored in each application binary but are dynamically and transparently loaded into memory when the binary is executed. A single shared library can be used by several applications simultaneously, reducing the amount of disc space necessary, and making it easier to administer.

XRT development licenses and shared libraries are available for individual machines, networks of machines or for entire corporations.
