MesaDrawingArea - An Xt widget for Mesa/X with richer
       semantics


DESCRIPTION

       The MesaDrawingArea widget is an extension of the
       GLwDrawingArea widget which takes advantage of some
       features of the Mesa/X implementation of the OpenGL API.

       It also simplifies programming by associating a drawing
       context transparently to the widget.  This feature is
       particulary convenient in applications that have to deal
       with multiple instances of a MesaDrawingArea widget.


Resources

       The following X resources are available in addition to the
       GLwDrawingArea resources:

       Boolean ximage
           Is False by default, setting it to True will cause
           Mesa/X to use an Ximage (in contrast to a pixmap) as
           second buffer.

       Boolean shareLists
           Is False by default, setting it to True will cause
           Mesa/X to share display lists among all widgets that
           have this ressource set to True.

       Boolean shareListsWith
           [Caveat: This resource is not honored yet.]

           Is NULL by default, setting it to another
           MesaDrawingArea widget will cause the two widgets to
           share display lists.


Utility functions

       The following utility functions are available

           switches the Mesa/X context to the one associated to
           the widget w.
