Abstract
The Wigner phase-space distribution function provides the basis for Moyal's deformation quantization alternative to the more conventional Hilbert space and path integral quantizations. The general features of time-independent Wigner functions are explored here, including the functional (``star'') eigenvalue equations they satisfy; their projective orthogonality spectral properties; their Darboux (``supersymmetric'') isospectral potential recursions; and their canonical transformations. These features are illustrated explicitly through simple solvable potentials: the harmonic oscillator, the linear potential, the P\"oschl-Teller potential, and the Liouville potential.
