;Task: Create a simple '''X11''' application, using an '''X11''' protocol library such as Xlib or XCB, that draws a box and "Hello World" in a window.
Implementations of this task should ''avoid using a toolkit'' as much as possible.
ALGOL 68
{{works with|ALGOL 68G|tested with release mk15-0.8b.fc9.i386}}
Using the X11 & plotutil libraries is not part of any of the original UNESCO/IFIP [[ALGOL 68]] reports. As at December 2008 only [[ALGOL 68G]] comes with these built in.
FILE window;
draw device (window, "X", "600x400");
open (window, "Hello, World!", stand draw channel);
draw erase (window);
draw move (window, 0.25, 0.5);
draw colour (window, 1, 0, 0);
draw text (window, "c", "c", "hello world");
draw show (window);

Common Lisp
{{field attention|Common Lisp|X11|This example was written in near-total ignorance of X11 by consulting the [http://www.cliki.net/CLX%20Manual CLX manual] to find equivalents for the parts of the C example. It was also only tested with [[Mac OS X]] X11, which is not exactly normal. — (ps: Testing on Linux (Fedora 21/x86-64), it seems to display black-on-black, so the "Hello" is lost.). Testing new code changes (i.e. adding background and foreground) should fix the issue, it was tested on LinuxMint 17.1/x86-64. Also tested on Debian; with a minor change on the text position it creates a pixel perfect replica of the C example. Could this warning be removed then?}}

GUISS
Graphical User Interface Support Script is really a language for operating a computer, rather than programming one, so we cannot do this via X11 libraries. The example uses leafpad for our open window, and the box symbols to enclose our text:
Start,Programs,Applications,Editors,Leafpad,Textbox,
Type:[openbox]Hello World[pling][closebox]
=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}== Icon and Unicon provide a portable graphics implementation that does not rely upon a toolkit. The intent is to be platform independent and the same code runs on multiple platforms without change and producing results with only minor variations. Icon and Unicon graphics are implemented in X-Windows as well as MS-Windows and others. There are additional 3D graphics capabilities implemented using opengl.

}
Note that this only does enough for this demo. A full adaptation is too long for RosettaCode...
This could then be used like this:
package require xlib
XOpenDisplay {}
set w [XCreateSimpleWindow 10 10 100 100 1]
XMapWindow $w
while {[lindex [XNextEvent] 0] == "expose"} {
XFillRectangle $w 20 20 10 10
XDrawString $w 10 50 "Hello, World!"
}
XDestroyWindow $w
XCloseDisplay
Higher level interface
Just because there is a low level package does not mean that it is pleasant to use from Tcl code. Therefore this second package wraps it up inside a higher-level package that provides a more natural way of interacting.
{{works with|Tcl|8.6}} or {{libheader|TclOO}}
package require TclOO
package provide x11 1
namespace eval ::x {
namespace export {[a-z]*}
namespace ensemble create
variable mask
array set mask {
KeyPress 1
KeyRelease 2
ButtonPress 4
ButtonRelease 8
}
proc display {script} {
XOpenDisplay {}
catch {uplevel 1 $script} msg opts
XCloseDisplay
return -options $opts $msg
}
proc eventloop {var handlers} {
upvar 1 $var v
while 1 {
set v [XNextEvent]
uplevel 1 [list switch [dict get $v type] $handlers]
}
}
oo::class create window {
variable w
constructor {x y width height events} {
set m 0
variable ::x::mask
foreach e $events {catch {incr m $mask($e)}}
set w [XCreateSimpleWindow $x $y $width $height $m]
}
method map {} {
XMapWindow $w
}
method unmap {} {
XUnmapWindow $w
}
method fill {x y width height} {
XFillRectangle $w $x $y $width $height
}
method text {x y string} {
XDrawString $w $x $y $string
}
destructor {
XDestroyWindow $w
}
}
}
This script puts the pieces together to carry out the details of the task.
package require x11
# With a display connection open, create and map a window
x display {
set w [x window new 10 10 100 100 KeyPress]
$w map
x eventloop ev {
expose {
# Paint the window
$w fill 20 20 10 10
$w text 10 50 "Hello, World!"
}
key {
# Quit the event loop
break
}
}
$w destroy
}
Improving this by adding more sophisticated event handling and more window methods is left as an exercise.
