xterm problem with input focus shuffle up the situation running a fortran executable that creats an xterm an option in the menu contained in the xterm runs a fortran subroutine that creats a tektronics mode xterm for displaying some graphics typing a ret while the tektronics mode xterm future reference to this will be tek term is active makes the xterm read future keystrokes but does not shift input focus to the xterm i m basing that statement on the fact that the border of the tek term stays the highlighted color and that the tek term stays on top of xterm if what i m describing isn t input focus let me know the xterm can be brought to the top by clicking the mouse button on it subsequent selections from the xterm of the menu item that displays graphics highlihts the border and displays the updated graphics but does not move the tek term to the top if the tek term has been iconized to conserve screen space it stays an icon the desired behavior one of two options whichever of the windows that is active is always on top of the inactive one whenever the tek term is inactivated it should revert to a icon but when it is activated it should become a window on a higher level than the xterm what i think i need a means of specifying that a xterm or tek term will be at the highest level and a way to iconify expand a xterm and tek term these commands would i d guess need to be in the fortran or in the command that starts up the xterm and tek term other information all this is taking place on a vt a dec dumb x windows terminal connected to a vax running vms and motif thanks for your time if you ve got any words of wisdom other than give up please send email to jhcox kodak com

re animation with xputimage in article apr dsd es com pmartz dsd es com paul martz writes in article apr infodev cam ac uk dcr mail ast cam ac uk derek c richardson writes hi i m new to this group so please bear with me two years ago i wrote a sunview application for fast animation of raster files with sunview becoming rapidly obselete i ve finally decided to rewrite everything from scratch in xview i put together a quick test and i ve found that xputimage is considerably slower factor of on average than the sunview command pw rop which moves image data from memory pixrects to a canvas this was on a sparc ipx it seems that the x protocol communication is slowing things down or xputimage is inefficient or both using xputimage your source is maintained by the client and the destination is maintained by the server thus you incur the overhead of transporting through whatever client server communications mechanism you are using is it possible for you to maintain your source images in pixmaps these are maintained by the server so copying them into a window is much cheaper also make sure you are not sending any unnecessary xsyncs or running in xsynchonize mode if you need speed and your client can run on the same host as the x server you should use the shared memory extension to the sample x server mit shm xdpyinfo will tell you if your server has this extension this is certainly available with the sample mit x server running under sunos a word of warning make sure your kernel is configured to support shared memory and another word of warning openwindows is slower than the mit server i have written an imaging tool using xview for the gui by the way which yields over frames per second for bit images running on a sparc ipc half the cpu grunt of an ipx this has proved quite sufficient for animations regards richard gooch

xquerybestcursor semi broken some one asked me recently why they when they used xquerybestcursor to see if they could create of a given size it seemed to imply they could but the server did not create cursors of that size investigation showed that some x servers will happily return any size up to the size of the root window while others return some fixed limit of more reasonable size the interesting thing to me is that the same server binary acts differently on different hardware a sun with a cg will claim cursors up to root window size are ok while a sun with a cg will stop at x so far i ve also seen this behavior on ncd and phase x x terminals and have been told it also occurs on hps actually the ncd is even more liberal sizes much larger then the root winodw are gladly returned as ok is xquerybestcursor semi broken or is this behavior correct i d really like to see a x cursor richard neitzel thor thor atd ucar edu torren med sitt skjegg national center for atmospheric research lokkar borni under sole vegg box boulder co gjo i med sitt shinn jagar borni inn

imake x r cpp problems on aix i am trying to build and use imake x r on an ibm rs running aix v i am having the following problems many of my imakefile s have contructs like this is a makefile at the start of lines to pass makefile comments thru the c preprocessor and into the makefile most of the c preprocessors that i have used will not treat such a as appearing at the start of the line thus the c preprocessor does not treat the hash symbol as the start of a directive however the ibm cpp strips the comment and treats the hash symbol as the start of a directive the cpp fails when it determines that this is not a known directive i have temporarily hacked my imake to handle this situation but would like to come up with a better fix several imakefiles use as a parameter to a macro when a particular use of the macro does not need a value for the parameter the aix cpp gives warnings about these situations but continues to work ok if you are familiar with these problems and have solutions i would appreciate information about on your solutions perhaps this is solved in a later version of imake that i have not reviewed also do you know of other cpp s that behave similarly since i do not have easy access to news a response to white billy po gis prc com would be appreciated

expose configure event handling r vs r i have two questions well probably more about how expose configure events are handled i have an appl which uses window to draw in since i give the user the capability of scaling and zooming as well as allowing the window to be resized i made a translation table for the expose configure events the expose event calls my redraw method while the configure event calls my rescale method the rescale method invokes a fake expose event actually just calls the redraw w an appropriate expose struct to draw the data quest when the appl is compiled linked w r running in either r or r env i get multiple redraws when the window gets uncovered or the size is changed i assume i m getting cascading events is that right any suggestions as to how to handle trap events in a better way quest when the appl is compiled linked w r i get no expose events whatsoever do events and or translation tables act differently in r thanks in advance steve steve kelley umcp cs umiacs captain i protest internet skelley umiacs umd edu i am not a merry man worf

finding out state of state keys eg capslock and numlock hi i ve looked in the faq and the o reilly books and was unable to find an easy means of finding out the state of state keys such as capslock and numlock i can certainly track the events inside of my window and set a boolean there but what if capslock is pressed in another window i looked at xgrabkey and decided it was definitely not what i wanted to do i could find no convenience function to tell me that information my question is this is there a means of determining what the state of capslock and or numlock is an even more pointed question is there an easy means of making an x keyboard act like a pc keyboard ie capslock is active and the user presses shift a i d like to get a lowercase a instead of a any input is greatly appreciated please respond via email i will repost a summary of my findings thanks ralph

store post events store and reply of mouse and keyboard events to produce regression tests or automatic demo s we would like to store all mouse and keyboard events produced by a user it should be possible to filter the mouse and keyboard events from the server s queue an to store them in a file this sequence of events stored in a file should be given to the server s queue as if a user is working exists a tool that is capable to save and reply all mouse and keyboard events where where one can catch these events to store them in our case the server s queue is on a x terminal hp where can we catch all events coming from a given server if this is not possible can we catch all events given to a certain client and how where one can send a stored sequence of events to simulate a user is there a central dispatcher on the clients machine who manages all incoming events from a given server and how can we reach it thanks in advance ron

detecting read only colorcells again poseted for a friend okay i got such great response from my last question thanks everyone lets try again how can i tell if a colorcell is read only i want to use any read only cells that are already in my colormap once i start running out of allocatable cells using some arbitrary nearest color matching scheme to get those cells that come closest to a requested color once i determine if a cell is read only i assume i can then just request an xalloccolor with the exact same color specifications and it will then be flagged as used by my application so that it doesn t later get freed by someone else and allocated again as read write to another application so far the only way i ve figured out to do this is to write my own error handler and just go ahead and request the cells colors once my colormap is all full up it should error out if the cell is non shareable but life would be much easier if i could just detect the read only shareable stuff directly any ideas noel ngorelic speclab cr usgs gov

question regarding overlaying of graphics hello i wonder if some one can suggest an answer to the following question i am a total x novice and would appreciate any suggestions you may have i am trying to create a simple drawing tool let s say i have two rectangles on the canvas see above one intersecting the other now i would like to delete one of the rectangles the way i do it is to create another gc wherein i use the gxxor logical function and simply redraw the rectangle using the newly created graphics context thus deleting it for all apparent purposes a problem with this approach is that at the points of intersection the pixel locations belonging to the other rectangle also become white which is something that should be avoided is there any way i can avoid this problem without having to redraw the other rectangle too i also would not like to generate an expose event for the affected area as this degrades performance very badly thank you gopal

overriding default behaviour usually when i start up an application i first get the window outline on my display i then have to click on the mouse button to actually place the window on the screen yet when i specify the geometry option the window appears right away the properties specified by the geometry argument the question now is how can i override the intermediary step of the user having to specify window position with a mouseclick i ve tried explicitly setting window size and position but that did alter the normal program behaviour thanks for any hints robert ps i m working in plain x robert gasch der erste mai ist der tag an dem die stadt ins oracle engineering freihe tritt und den staatlichen monopolanspruch de meern nl auf gewalt in frage stellt rgasch nl oracle com einstuerzende neubauten

re animation with xputimage in article apr infodev cam ac uk dcr mail ast cam ac uk derek c richardson writes two years ago i wrote a sunview application for fast animation of raster files with sunview becoming rapidly obselete i ve finally decided to rewrite everything from scratch in xview i put together a quick test and i ve found that xputimage is considerably slower factor of on average than the sunview command pw rop which moves image data from memory pixrects to a canvas this was on a sparc ipx it seems that the x protocol communication is slowing things down or xputimage is inefficient or both my question is what the protocol has to move the whole image from process memory to server memory this is the hog the conversions in the xputimage are fast is the fastest way in x r to dump plane image data to a window can i take advantage of the fact that the client is running on the same machine as the server or am i stuck with yes by utilizing the mit shm extension that provides an xputimage derivate that uses shared memory fine fast xputimage in which case i might as well give up now no you can still xputimage all of the frames onto pixmaps thus moving them to server memory and then replay them fastest using xcopyarea but be aware this is a major server memory bummer o o o brain inside o o o o andre beck abpsoft mehl andre beck irs inf tu dresden de o o o

vanishing font problem a colleague has a bizarre font problem on his new mips workstation when he first logs on via xdm he has a single xterm window appear with the mwm window manager running in this configuration x windows applications particularly xdvi work fine however if he opens up a second xterm application suddenly xdvi cannot start in either window giving the error unable to load iso font the only difference between the two xterm windows is that the initial one references a different name in the xsession file with prettier colours and other slight changes further investigation shows that only opening a default xterm causes this behaviour and more significant all x applications can no longer load any fonts if they are invoked from the command line in either window if i start the xterm with a different font using the fn option no problems it would seem that the default xterm is loading a font which somehow causes the server to lose all of its fonts note xlsfonts in either window shows all of the fonts available so there doesn t appear to be a problem in the font directories hash tables other than rewriting the xterm app defaults file to use a different font and hope for the best does anyone have any ideas more info this is the most recent mips workstation r i believe with the most current operating system and running x r it is not mwm s fault as the same problems occur under twm etc

a strange problem with text hello i am testing a port of x r to coherent a unix clone os for intel architecture machines i am seeing a strange problem with text in clients like xvt a simple terminal emulator program the problem manifests it self when the shell echoes typed characters back to the server for display one at a time the characters appear to be too closely spaced with the result being that the nd character echoed destroys the rightmost edge of the first character then the rd character destroys the rightmost edge of the second character and so on it looks like there is an invisible boundary around a character which obscures a portion of the previous character there is no problem between the characters when the shell returns a complete line of text only when the output is a series of individual characters if anyone has any ideas what the problem might be or where i should look to find it it would be much appreciated regards and thanks jon dhuse jon dhuse internet jdhuse sedona intel com intel corp ch phone w chandler blvd any opinions expressed are my own chandler az not my employer s

dynamic squeezetitle configuration in twm i consider twm style squeezed titles indispensable in a window manager i like to have two tall xterm windows visible at the same time with no overlap and since two windows aren t enough i have other xterm windows underneath them with exactly the same positioning in case you re not familiar with squeezed titles here s a crude picture figure title a title b title c this is the window b hides window c but body of the you can still see c s title window window a which is squeezed right figure squeezed titles allow me to have about such windows in each stack with easy access and per stack is usually more than i really need since i also insist on having a virtual wm the only problem is that the title location is static that is it is configured in twmrc and in order to change it you have to edit that file and restart the window manager doing so is cumbersome and time consuming therefore i have implemented f squeeze left center right functions in my own copy of vtwm the idea being that with one click of a button you can change this title a this is the body of the window window a to this title a this is the body of the window window a okay so far so good now how the heck do i get them to put this into the next official twm and the next tvtwm and the next vtwm and the next ctwm and the next xyztwm that i never heard of one way would be to post in comp windows x a description of this enhancement together with an explanation of why i think it is a very good thing and hope that someone reads it in case it isn t already clear why i think it s a very good thing look back up at figure and picture window a moved over on top of windows b and c now window a s title hides window b s title but when you hit f squeezecenter the result is title b title a title c this is the body of the window window a which is on top the rest of this posting explains how to implement it based on my x r copy of vtvwm shar it s just a sketch because posting the full diffs would be too long the key to this enhancement is to add the following lines in the executefunction routine in menus c ifdef shape case f squeezeleft static squeezeinfo left squeeze j left if deferexecution context func scr selectcursor return true tmp win squeeze info left squeeze setframeshape tmp win break and similarly for squeezeright j right and squeezecenter j center endif of course you also have to define f squeezeleft in parse h and add f squeezeleft fkeyword f squeezeleft and so forth to parse c in order to use these functions add something like the following to your twmrc file button m s w v d r i t door f squeezecenter about a year ago i posted this but our news was broken and i think it didn t get out since then blast has appeared in comp sources x volume issue you could use blast to achieve a similar effect by chiseling away at an mwm style wide title better to have a twm style window manager i think ralph betza fm uunet ssiny gnohmon gnohmon ssiny com the question of whether a computer can swim is more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can think lenny dykstra
