hi,
well, speaking of graphic library, tcl/tk fits perfectly my needs and is also available for Linux, Windows ans Mac OSX, so that's not the real problem. Besides, libggi could also be a candidate ...;
The real problem is what embeddable graphic lib can be supported by MAX. i don't know much of MAX so i'd like to know what graphic capabilities are provided for MAX externals ???
Thanx for answering or pointing me to some documents.

Hi Yves, i think flext should definitely provide a possibility for creating GUI objects. I have not yet made a lengthy research on that issue but as Framestein seems to be able to steal a portion of a canvas for DirectX (and i'm sure that the same is possible in MaxMSP), why not give it a try and develop a portable interface for GUI stuff? It seems to me that wxWindows is the best choice for such a thing as it supports Windows, Linux and MacOS and provides a lot of features. Additionally it can also be steered from Python. Would anyone comment on that or recommend other libraries?
I consider the planned multithreading ability of flext a prerequisite for that, so that the GUI generating code be separated from any DSP and message processing code.
greetings, Thomas
