X11

There is not yet a X11 library in Raku but we can write the minimal C mappings for this task.

use NativeCall;

class Display is repr('CStruct') {
    has int32 $!screen;
    has int32 $!window;
 }
class GC      is repr('CStruct') {
    has int32 $!context;
}
class XEvent  is repr('CStruct') {
    has int32 $.type;
    method init { $!type = 0 }
}

sub XOpenDisplay(Str $name = ':0') returns Display is native('X11') { * }

sub XRootWindow(Display $, int32 $screen_number) returns int32 is native('X11') { * }

    Display $, int32 $parent_window, int32 $x, int32 $y,
    int32 $width, int32 $height, int32 $border_width,
    int32 $border, int32 $background
