Hi Ingo,

Thanks for the response!  I need a fast drawing way to represent a real time
data acquisition (as far as I could test, SDL is the best option to this),
so I think that two threads should be a good idea.  The only that I need is
a place into the window to draw this data and not to exchange information
between SDL and FOX.
May you have some example from the project that you mention?

Thanks,

Best regards,

Luis
