re circular motif widgets if you re willing to do a little work you can make drawnbuttons do what you want more or less one of my colleagues here at ge crd has done just that in our internal lymb system we have a matrix transform class that makes it easy to compute a series of dial positions from a single set of vectors each set of vectors is then drawn into a pixmap clicking the button advances the knob s state and changes to the next pixmap in the sequence using drawnbuttons obviously still constrains you to taking up a rectangular portion of the parent widget but that s normally not a big shortcoming you can make things look circular enough skip montanaro crd ge com why can t x be this easy me after learning about dlopen

macro recorder player for x is there aything available for x similar to quickeys for the macintosh something that will allow me to store and playback sequences of keystrokes menu selections and mouse actions directing them towards another application if so could someone send me information on its availability and if not how hard do we think it might be to send input to other x applications and hopefully deal with their responses appropriately if an application is going to take a few seconds to process i probably have to wait for it to complete before sending another command thanks david

monthly question about xcopyarea and expose events nd posting of the question that just doesn t seem to get answered suppose you have an idle app with a realized and mapped window that contains xlib graphics a button widget when pressed will cause a new item to be drawn in the window this action clearly should not call xcopyarea or equiv directly instead it should register the existence of the new item in a memory structure and let the same expose event handler that handles regular expose events e g window manager driven exposures take care of rendering the new image using an expose event handler is a proper way to do this because at the time the handler is called the xlib window is guaranteed to be mapped the problem of course is that no expose event is generated if the window is already visible and mapped what we need to do is somehow tickle the window so that the expose handler is hit with arguments that will enable it to render just the part of the window that contains the new item what is the best way to tickle a window to produce this behavior

re macx color problem in article kul ux cso uiuc edu kerr ux cso uiuc edu stan kerr writes i have a peculiar color problem with macx apple s macintosh x server i d like to know if others have seen the same problem it s happened with the current version and with version when some types of client windows are displayed parts of the windows are in the wrong color if the window is moved slightly forcing the server to repaint it it is repainted in the correct colors it doesn t happen for xterm windows but has happened for graphic windows and with some motif clients i expect what is going on here is that your colormap is full and when the new application starts up it cannot add the colors that it needs to the colormap it therefore has to pick and choose from the existing colors this makes it look ugly until it s window gets priority then macx changes the colormap so that the selected app is getting the exact colors it wanted but now other applications are having to make do with it s colormap this is a problem with all color x servers or at least all color xservers i have seen when the demands of the applications exceed the size of the colormap my solution is usually to avoid colormap greedy apps and display applications where color is just icing on the cake in monochrome mode rather than in color if this is an option for the application doug shaker voice fax email dshaker qualix com mail qualix group s norfolk st san mateo ca qualix maintains a mailserver with information files and demo versions of products if you would like more information on the mailserver send an email to qfacts qualix com or uunet qualix qfacts the email should take the following form begin send help send index end name address phone

re mix gl with x xlib xt mwm in article aa sparc jade com graham sparc ottawa jade com jay graham writes i am developing an x xt xm application that will include a graphics window of some sort with moving symbols among other things a pure x application could be implemented with motif widgets one of which would be an xmdrawingarea for drawing with xlib but i would like to take advantage of the graphics library gl available on our ibm rs sgi s gl i believe is it possible to mix x and gl in one application program can i use gl subroutines in an xmdrawingarea or in an x window opened by me with xopenwindow there is a widget already defined for gl it is the glxmdraw motif or glxdraw athena widget it is similar to a xmdrawingarea except that it allows you to use gl calls to render into the window look at glxlink glxunlink glxgetconfig and glxwinset in the man pages i have never used gl before but the doc on gl winopen says that the first time winopen is called it opens a connection to the server also most of the gl calls do not require a display or gc unlike most x calls from this initial information it appears that x and gl cannot be mixed easily is this true the glxmdraw widget works pretty well opengl will be an improvement does pex graphigs have the same functionality of gl i think gl is a little easier to use and a little more powerful but that s just an opinion mileage may vary larry d pyeatt the views expressed here are not internet pyeatt texaco com those of my employer or of anyone voice that i know of with the possible exception of myself

re monthly question about xcopyarea and expose events in article buzz apr lion bear com buzz bear com buzz moschetti writes nd posting of the question that just doesn t seem to get answered suppose you have an idle app with a realized and mapped window that contains xlib graphics a button widget when pressed will cause a new item to be drawn in the window this action clearly should not call xcopyarea or equiv directly instead it should register the existence of the new item in a memory structure and let the same expose event handler that handles regular expose events e g window manager driven exposures take care of rendering the new image using an expose event handler is a proper way to do this because at the time the handler is called the xlib window is guaranteed to be mapped the problem of course is that no expose event is generated if the window is already visible and mapped what we need to do is somehow tickle the window so that the expose handler is hit with arguments that will enable it to render just the part of the window that contains the new item what is the best way to tickle a window to produce this behavior to incrementally update the contents of windows i use the following trick set the window background to none call xcleararea display window true restore the window background to its correct value the call to xcleararea does not repaint the window background but still generates exposure events for visible parts of the window in order to let my application know that these expose events must be handled incrementally something is already displayed on the screen and may need to be erased i encapsulate the operations with self addressed client messages which preserve asynchronicity between the client and the server xgrabserver display client message start incremental background none xcleararea restore background client message end incremental xungrabserver display the grabserver prevents other events to be inserted by the server in the critical section vincent prunet sema group sophia antipolis inria bp sophia antipolis cedex france prunet sophia inria fr fax

re xcopyplane question in article buzz apr lion bear com buzz bear com buzz moschetti write in article whaley apr sigma kpc com whaley sigma kpc com ken whaley writes actually i must also ask the faq s most popular reason why graphics don t show up do you wait for an expose event before drawing your rectangle suppose you have an idle app with a realized and mapped window that contains xlib graphics a button widget when pressed will cause a new item to be drawn in the window this action clearly should not call xcopyarea or equiv directly instead it should register the existence of the new item in a memory structure and let the expose event handler take care of rendering the image because at that time it is guaranteed that the window is mapped the problem of course is that no expose event is generated if the window is visible and mapped do you know the best way to tickle a window so that the expose event handler will be invoked to draw this new item what does this have to do with my original question i previously stated that i did an xcopyarea of the depth pixmap to the screen just to make sure that my image had data and it did this is not a problem with expose events it has to do with xcopyplane not working does anyone have a code fragment they could send demonstrating that xcopyplane works this would be very helpful thanks what it has to do with your original question is this many times beginning x users heck experienced x users too write small test programs many times they forget to draw only in response to expose events and thus see unpreditable results whereby sometimes the application s graphics show up and sometimes they don t we re just trying to eliminate all the easy explanations for why you re not seeing your graphics that being said why don t you try copying different planes to your window other than try to see it you get any output since you re dipslaying only a single plane of your data it s possible that all the pixel values in your pixmap have the same value for that color plane ken kenneth whaley kubota pacific computer inc email whaley kpc com walsh avenue santa clara ca

cursors according to the osf motif style guide one should use cursor shapes to give the user a visual clue of what is happening or what is expected of him so a hourglass cursor should be shown when the application is busy or a caution cursor should be shown over an area when input is expected in another defining cursors for widgets has to be done at rather low level so defining a cursor for all widgets in an application but not for a certain subpart of it is a rather complicated matter when cursors have been defined for some windows e g a crosswire cursor for a drawingarea things get even more complicated my intuition says that things should be easier but is this so if anyone has a solid and complete solution to my problem please let me know the topics on busy cursors in the several faq s are not helpful since they only work for applications where all windows have the cursor window attribute set to none hans geurtsen phone nucletron research bv e mail hgn nuclint nl surface waardgelder nl th veenendaal

running x on a pc at home talking to a host over serial line some time back i asked for software recommendations to allow me to run x from my pc at home to my sparc at the office many thanks for all replies the majority of people recommended pcxremote from ncd i received it yesterday and installed it on my sparc and pc with only one hitch the unix install consists of copying files into some local bin directory on the pc side i ordered the windows version which came with a slick windows installation the only problem i had was that my xinitrc in my home directory had the line display hostname export display s t the clients i kicked off connected to my xserver on the sparc console by removing this line from the xinitrc everything worked as planned and the clients connected to the server at hostname some comments on performance i was connected to a sparc thru a netblazer terminal server over a baud line my pc is a dx ati ultra mb bitmap stuff sucked basic editing and compilation stuff definitely usable xmail was very usable at times the first time u typed in an xclient window there was a very noticable delay i put this down to brain damaged windows should not be called a scheduler besides that this will become my remote work environment for a while has anybody tried the non windows version of the product the sales person said they performed about the same given the over head of windows i question this many thanks for help to all who responded gerard
