<h3 class="section">19.3 Low Level X Interface</h3>
<p>A sample program for drawing things on X windows from lisp
is included in the file gcl/lsp/littleXlsp.lsp
</p>
<p>That routine invokes the corresponding C routines in XLIB.
So in order to use it you must ‘faslink’ in the X routines.
Directions are given at the beginning of the lisp file,
for either building them into the image or using faslink.
</p>
<p>This program is also a good tutorial on invoking C from lisp.
</p>
<p>See also defentry and faslink.
