An overview of the X Window System is presented, focusing on the system substrate and the low-level facilities provided to build applications and to manage the desktop. The system provides high-performance, high-level, device-independent graphics. A hierarchy of resizable, overlapping windows allows a wide variety of application and user interfaces to be built easily. Network-transparent access to the display provides an important degree of functional separation, without significantly affecting performance, that is crucial to building applications for a distributed environment. To a reasonable extent, desktop management can be custom tailored to individual environments, without modifying the base system and typically without affecting applications.
