in other words if i can, for example, have two thread drawing on the same
window.
Yes. You must set the threadsafe option on in the config file.
Due to the way the protocol works between nano-X client and
server, some API calls return data, which require flushing
the output queue and waiting for server data. (These
would be all non-void typed APIs. Most drawing calls
are not this way). I recommend having only a single
thread main loop calls functions that require return values.
That is, getting window sizes etc should be done before
multiple threads are started, and then only use threads
to perform output-only drawing tasks.
