Hello all,
I'm trying to develop a RT control system for the temperature and level of a
tank. I have to develop also the graphical interface to the control system
using Ada and X11, and here come the problems.
I'v tried to write this GUI using two libraries: first, with AdaTk (tash800),
I have not been able to draw a simple rectangle on a toplevel window. I've
tried using the 'Button' widget, but I think it's not a good solution. Second,
with GtkAda, I'm on the same problem. I discarded X11Ada for other reasons, so
I have to use GtkAda or AdaTk. 
I really don't believe there is no way to draw a simple rectangle changing
its level when calling functions, because I've seen both libraries are
flexible and, well, let's call them 'powerful' (for example, writing the code
for a sophisticated group of buttons packed all together is very easy). I
really think my problem is only due to my inexperience with Ada.
Does someone know of a good reference for AdaTk or GtkAda? The only 
documentation I've seen is the source code for .ads's, and some small examples
for AdaTk. I'm looking desesperately for a book, an URL, an article... 
explaining the use of both libraries , or at least for more source code using
some of them.

Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
				Toni
