Hello

I am new to X programming and am having several problems, I'm using X11R4 on 
Unix.

problem 1: This one I find very unusual.  My program begins by placing several
	   windows and some text (using XDrawImageString) on the screen.  This
	   works fine the first time it is run after compiling but on 
	   subsequent trials the text does not always appear.  I can't find
	   any pattern to when it does and does not appear, however it will
	   appear more often (almost always) if I pause the program before the
	   XFlush call.  Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

problem 2: I tried to do a screen dump following the directions in the faq's
           ( csh% sleep 10; xwd -root > output.xwd & ) but I got a message that
	   xwd was unknown.  Is there either a simple way to fix this or some
	   other simple way to do a screen dump?

problem 3: This one isn't so much a problem (not yet anyway) as a call for ad
	   advice.  The project I'm working on will be using X as the user
	   interface for a data base running on another system.  I would like
	   to be able to display the results from the data base in a specific
	   window.  Right now any information that gets passed goes directly
	   to the decterm window from which my program is running.  Is there
	   some way to change the default for such output to a specified
	   window, and if not can anyone give me any ideas of how to display
	   the information?

Thank you in advance for your help, I really need it!

Try QuarterDeck's product DesqView/X should enable this.  Check out the

InterCon has a product called Planet-X which will allow a X-server (the 
display device) to open a window to a Mac in which a Mac application runs.  
Is this what you hand in mind?

The S3 has built-in graphics like bitblt, fill-polygon, fill-rectangle.
The graphics operators internally can transfer data at 27.5 MB/sec.
The S3 is capable of direct memory access to the CPU. Also, the new
upcoming 928 will be about 2 to 3 times faster than the 911 used
in the Diamond Stealth svga card plus full 32 bit wide data access. S3
also tests their chips with the local bus.

Help :)  Does anyone out there in netland know how to make an _icon_
flash when some event (such as a "write" or a "talk") happens in it?
Running TWM, on an SGI Iris running 4d.4.0.

The d%mn beep keeps on disappearing in TWM, so I want to start using
flashes on the icons so I can notice when someone is trying to get
ahold of me.

Help!

I need to do some colormap manipulation translate an X11
image-processing application from a 24-bit true color platform to an
8/24-bit mapped-color platform.  The application generates 8-bit
grayscale images, which I need to display on a workstation with 8/24-bit
framebuffer.  Currently, it operates on an Ardent machine with a 24-bit
frame buffer, and contains no colormap manipulations.

If anyone has any relevant building block code which I may reference, I
would greatly appreciate it;  any other assistance would also be very
helpful.

There is no legal issue in making a multipage tgif.  The main issue is
time, which all of us do not have much of (I'm trying to support text
of any size work, which I consider more important).  I can provide some
basic multipage capability (such as add, delete, next, previous, goto)
with some effort.  I'll consider adding it to the next patch (2.12-p12).

Hello

I am new to X programming and am having several problems, I'm using X11R4 on 
Unix.

problem 1: This one I find very unusual.  My program begins by placing several
	   windows and some text (using XDrawImageString) on the screen.  This
	   works fine the first time it is run after compiling but on 
	   subsequent trials the text does not always appear.  I can't find
	   any pattern to when it does and does not appear, however it will
	   appear more often (almost always) if I pause the program before the
	   XFlush call.  Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

problem 2: I tried to do a screen dump following the directions in the faq's
           ( csh% sleep 10; xwd -root > output.xwd & ) but I got a message that
	   xwd was unknown.  Is there either a simple way to fix this or some
	   other simple way to do a screen dump?

problem 3: This one isn't so much a problem (not yet anyway) as a call for ad
	   advice.  The project I'm working on will be using X as the user
	   interface for a data base running on another system.  I would like
	   to be able to display the results from the data base in a specific
	   window.  Right now any information that gets passed goes directly
	   to the decterm window from which my program is running.  Is there
	   some way to change the default for such output to a specified
	   window, and if not can anyone give me any ideas of how to display
	   the information?

Thank you in advance for your help, I really need it!
