re animation with xputimage in article whaley apr sigma kpc com whaley sigma kpc com ken whaley writes one advanage of mit shm is that if your images are large you don t end up growing the size of the server process to hold them correct most x servers use a version of malloc which will not return memory to the os ie the x server might free a pixmap but the heap does not shrink one disadvantage of the mit shm is that in its sample implementation there is no provision for elegantly cleaning up the shared memory segments if the client dies a sudden violent death e g kill you have to be mindful of cluttering up the system with zombie shared memory segments well part of the routines i mentioned do a dirty little trick to get around that problem first i create the shared memory segment attach the client attach the x server and then remove the segment if you read the man pages on removing of shared memory segments you will see that the segment only dies after all attachments are gone now if the client dies that s one attachment gone the os cleans up for you and since the x server notices the client has dies frees up it s resources including detaching from the segment there goes the last attachment no more shared memory segment terrible but it works regards richard gooch

re question regarding overlaying of graphics 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 you could set up a bitmap with a mask in it clear the bitmap draw the rectangle to be deleted with gxor draw the one that is to stay with gxclear then gxxor the entire pixmap with the screen note that this is a pretty effective way of animation if you ever need to do that replace the gxclear with a gxxor joe hildebrand hildjj fuentez com software engineer fuentez systems concepts standard disclaimers apply

re gui study cutsie little macintrash like icons that are an instant recipe for mousitis imho system is undoubtedly the worst gui i have used out of that riscos mswombles and x simply because it does not provide enough keyboard shortcuts windows i must confess i quite like cover your ears because you can actually use it without having to ever touch the mouse stuff delete the user rather than making things easier and there should always be the option to do it your way if you want to which is why i like the unix x combination so much it s so customizable hear hear i agree completely one thing i can t stand about the mac interface is its shear determination to force you to use the mouse what if your mouse breaks your whole system is down i like the mouse it is handy on some occassions such as cut and past and moving icons around etc but for most work the keyboard and hot keys are times faster than using the mouse sure it is a plus to be able to do something simple if you are an inexperienced user but how long is it before your are experienced a month two speaking of pcs at the moment i don t think it is too much to ask that window programmers provide not only a menu mouse interface but also look forward to those who would like to move on to hot keys and command line interfaces which usually allows you to do more in less time if you are experienced all of the above equally applies to windowing systems on unix especially since unix is at least more powerful than dos seth buffington u s s gab i seth cs unt edu seth gab unt edu unix operator

imake 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

re need shading program example in x in article a tgv com mahan tgv com patrick l mahan writes do anyone know about any shading program based on xlib in the public domain i need an example about how to allocate correct colormaps for the program appreciate the help i don t know if this might help but i ve just started playing with a program called povray persistance of vision raytracer that also displays its output via x windows it does a fairly good job of allocating the colormap on my psuedo color plane display i got the source from from a site in canda the person i retrieved them from was david buck dbuck ccs carleton ca i think the original post was searching for existing implementations of f i gouroud shading of triangles this is fairly complex to do with plain x simpler shading models are implemented already f i in x d ask archie where to get the latest version for gouroud a fast implementation will be possible utilizing some extension only either mit shm to do the shade in an image and fast update the window with it or pex opengl which should be able to shade themselves the portable vanilla x way would be to shade in a normal ximage and use xputimage what would be good enough to do static things as f i fractal landscapes or such stuff to speak about povray the x previewer that comes with the original source package is not that good especially in speed protocol friendlyness and icccm compliance have a look on x q my own preview code it is on pub gfx ray misc x q the readme states the points where it is better than xwindow c from povray o o o brain inside o o o o andre beck abpsoft mehl andre beck irs inf tu dresden de o o o

re xt intrinsics slow popups bryan boreham bryan alex com wrote in article minster york ac uk cjhs minster york ac uk writes the application creates window with a button quit and press me the button press me pops up a dialog box the strange feature of this program is that it always pops up the dialog box much faster the first time if i try to pop it up a nd time rd th time it is much slower the shell is waiting for the window manager to respond to its positioning request the window manager is not responding because it thinks the window is already in the right place exactly why the two components get into this sulk is unclear to me all information greatly received thanks for this clue and thanks to derek ho also for a pointer in the same direction one solution due to derek ho when the popup is popped up we setvalue its location which on repeat popups will be unchanged from the previous popup the slow response can be avoided by calling getvalue first and only using setvalue if the required location is different the problem can also be avoided by making a tiny alteration in the location of the popup so that the setvalue really does change the location of the popup we tried this just for a double check on the source of the problem the solutions we have tried successfully are now as follows use twm or mwm rather than olwm use olwm with resource wmtimeout only reset the location of the popup window if it is truely changed this is obviously working around some bug somewhere thanks chris ho stuart

overriding window manager focus processing i am working on an x window based application that needs to override some of the window manager focus processing i am using x r and motif currently although i will also be working with open look in the future what i need to do is under certain circumstances prevent the user from switching from one window of the application to another window let s say for example that window a is on top of window b in the window hierarchy normally if the user clicks the mouse in window b it will be brought to the top of the window hierarchy and placed on top of window a under certain circumstances if the user clicks the mouse in window b i need to beep and prevent window b from being raised on top of window a from the research and testing i ve done so far it appears that this window ordering is handled by the window manager in this case motif i haven t found any way to override this default processing through standard x window functions i can tell when this switching occurs through focus change and mapping notify events but i can t find any way to tell motif not to make the switch the temporary solution i ve currently come up with is very kludgy but it partially works when i detect such a window switch in those cases when the switch is not allowed i manually force the formerly top window back on top with an xraisewindow call and beep with the xbell function this provides the necessary functionality but looks ugly when the windows switch places twice does anyone know how i can tell motif or preferably any window manager when i don t want the window order switch to actually take place respond either by e mail or posting to this newsgroup cheers randall randall severy uunet uunet ge severy ge information services internet ge severy uunet uu net n washington st mc a genie rsevery rockville md usa phone

looking for x window server frequency of operations data hello i m currently designing the architecture of a chip which is intended to help speed up common operations on a windowing system such as x a friend and i are designing the chip as the final course project for an advanced computer architecture course taught by dr fred brooks at unc chapel hill while we feel that we ve got a pretty solid design currently we d really like to get ahold of some frequency data from an x windows server so that we can make the most effective use of our bit budget unfortunately i ve been unable to find anything of this sort in the various x faqs or x manuals that i ve seen does anyone have some type of frequency data like how many copy rectangle operations vs draw lines and things of that sort or barring that a program that records requests to the server into a logfile that i can munge on myself any and all help would be very appreciated many thanks mark mark a deloura deloura cs unc edu u of north carolina chapel hill

re q colormaps with dialog shells dyoung media mit edu david young writes i have an applicationshell which uses a colormap created with xcreatecolormap and uses all of the colors available for my bit display when i popup a dialogshell to prompt the user for some input i want the xmndialogstyle to be set to xmdialog primary application modal the result is that if my cursor is over the dialogshell i get my colormap but if the cursor is over the applicationshell or any window other than the dialogshell i get the default colormap but i d like it so that if my cursor is over any window of my application i get my colormap i think this is correct behavior remember the default colormapfocuspolicy is keyboard meaning the cmap focus follows the keyboard focus since the dialog is modal mwm won t allow keyboard focus onto your main shell and so it won t allow cmap focus either since it sounds as though you have keyboardfocuspolicy pointer i suggest you set colormapfocuspolicy pointer also that way the cmap focus won t slavishly follow keyboard focus but will beat its own path if you have keyboardfocuspolicy explicit you can set cmap focus explicit also but you then need a binding to f focus color probably on mb david brooks dbrooks osf org open software foundation uunet osf org dbrooks showres soote my foote

re gui study in article apr mercury unt edu seth ponder csci unt edu seth buffington writes cutsie little macintrash like icons that are an instant recipe for mousitis imho system is undoubtedly the worst gui i have used out of that riscos mswombles and x simply because it does not provide enough keyboard shortcuts windows i must confess i quite like cover your ears because you can actually use it without having to ever touch the mouse stuff delete the user rather than making things easier and there should always be the option to do it your way if you want to which is why i like the unix x combination so much it s so customizable hear hear i agree completely one thing i can t stand about the mac interface is its shear determination to force you to use the mouse what if your mouse breaks your whole system is down i like the mouse it is handy on some occassions such as cut and past and moving icons around etc but for most work the keyboard and hot keys are times faster than using the mouse sure it is a plus to be able to do something simple if you are an inexperienced user but how long is it before your are experienced a month two speaking of pcs at the moment i don t think it is too much to ask that window programmers provide not only a menu mouse interface but also look forward to those who would like to move on to hot keys and command line interfaces which usually allows you to do more in less time if you are experienced all of the above equally applies to windowing systems on unix especially since unix is at least more powerful than dos and at least more user unfriendly as well

how to see characterset from wchar t we developed a toolkit running on the x window system the toolkit copes with any languages based on x r s i n facility as you know there are kinds of i n implementation from mit s x r release xsi and ximp our original implementation of the toolkit uses xsi our toolkit manages each character s size based on our own font management system in order to do that the wchar t typed character strings must be decomposed to character sets this means that if one wchar t type compound string with ascii and kanji mixed for example is given each element of the wchar t array must be checked its corresponding character set based on a bit layout and application environment s locale in this case if the locale is japanese each wchar t character will be classified either to iso jisx or so we need a function to do this the function must check how many characters from the top are the same character set and what the character set is we could not find any public x r function to do that and inevitably used xsi s internal functions to construct that function the following is the source code of that function decomposecharacterset i n h this may look like c code but it is really c id i n h v iima exp iima ifndef i n h define i n h include x xlib h extern int decomposecharacterset const wchar t wc str in int wc len in char buf out int buflen in out int scanned len out char charset out extern xmstring wchartoxmstring const wchar t wc str extern xmstringcharset charsetofwchar const wchar t wc endif i n h i n cc id i n cc v iima exp include stdlib h include x xlibint h include xm xm h include i n h extern c include x wchar h define xwcdecomposeglyphcharset xxx xwcdecomposeglyphcharset define xmbfscs xxx xmbfscs define xmbctidtocsid xxx xmbctidtocsid include xlocaleint h undef xwcdecomposeglyphcharset undef xmbfscs undef xmbctidtocsid extern int xwcdecomposeglyphcharset xlocale const wchar t int char int int int extern charset xmbfscs xlocale csid extern csid xmbctidtocsid xlocale csid int decomposecharacterset const wchar t wc str in int wc len in char buf out int buf len in out int scanned len out char charset out xlocale xlocale xfallbackconvert int ctid int status charset xcharset status xwcdecomposeglyphcharset xlocale wc str wc len buf buf len scanned len ctid if status success xcharset xmbfscs xlocale xmbctidtocsid xlocale ctid charset xcharset xcharset cs name null else charset null return status an included file above xlocaleint h is also xsi internal and we copied the file to the toolkit directory and compiled a serious issue occured when we tried to compile a toolkit application on our hp machine with its os version of hp ux when we tried to link an application based on our toolkit link errors occured saying that the following functions are missing xmbctidtocsid code xmbfscs code xwcdecomposeglyphcharset code xfallbackconvert code we had used mit release version of x r and its xsi implementation until hp up and ran applications successfully one of the reasons to use xsi was that because hp did not release hp s x r until the os and we had no way to know how hp s r would be implemented we had hoped xsi s popularity and used its internal functions the hp s linker complains that there are no xsi internal functions implemented we observe from hp s libx a they used some ximp implementation but we are not sure if they used mit s vanilla ximp version or their own version of ximp and therefore finding just counter part functions in mit s ximp for xsi does not seem to lead us a solution my question and goal is to know how we can construct a function like decomposecharacterset listed above is there any function to check character set of each element of wchar t type strings depending on locales if it is a public function that is perfect but even if it is not we want to use any internal functions in hp s x r as we did for mit s r in order to render a wchar t type string there must be some machinery to judge character sets and that is how the proper fonts are selected for the string we have no way to find out that without any hp s x r source files we want to know how we can use that for our goal any help or comments would be highly appreciated i also appreciate if anyone tell me about ximp treating around this area even if it is not hp s implementation thank you takeshi inoue inoue crd yokogawa co jp yokogawa electric corporation open systems laboratory

re forcing a window manager to accept specific coordinates for a window in article c xxq m cs columbia edu ethan cs columbia edu ethan solomita writes in article bading apr athene cs tu berlin de bading cs tu berlin de tobias doping bading writes i know that the mwm has an resource to specify if positions are to be used for the border of a window or for the user window maybe other window managers have similar options another way to figure out the difference between the user window position and the window manager decoration window position is to subtract their positions you just have to use xquerytree and remember that the window manager decorations window is the parent of your window unfortunately you can only figure out the decoration width and height after the window has been mapped this way another way would be to use getgeometry to find out where you are relative to the frame and translatecoordinates to find out where your window s upperleft corner really is as i ve said before there s no reliable way to find out the size of the window manager decoration if your window has been reparented you can t assume that the window you re parented to is the window that holds all of the window manager decoration there may be several layers of windows doing multiple xquerytree s until you get to the root will work in most cases but there s no guarantee that the outside decoration window is parented to the root window of the display tvtwm tom lastrange toml boulder parcplace com
