[Jprogramming] Is there a standard graphics library for J7?

I still run J6, but recently I have used J7 a bit, and I am impressed. 
I think I can switch over to J7/GTK now.  But then there's this JHS 
thing.  It seems to incompatible with GTK.  Is that right?

I am trying to find a graphics system to use to replace grid for 
dissect.  GTK seems to be what I want - it will support autoscrolling 
controls, which is what is needed to display nouns of arbitrary size.

But then, what about JHS?  Is there going to be a graphics library that 
is supported across all J7 systems?

And, what interface do most people use?  Is it GTKIDE most of the time, 
and JHS occasionally, or the other way around?  Are things different on 
Android and iPhone?

In short: what graphics approach should I take to make dissect run on as 
many J screens as possible?
