Anybody care to share their experiences and/or code to demonstrate how
Unidraw coexists (maybe not in the same editor) with IV3.1 objects??

I'm stuck with 2.6 objects, since my code heavily uses Unidraw, and would
love to move (read 'have to move') to the 3.1 Widgets.

thanx in advance

Hello again,

How do I make it possible to draw lines on an image?
I am creating a Raster, in an Image, and I notice that
Image has some members that take Canvas as an arg.
Do I instantiate a Canvas and pass it to the image.draw()
member?  I tried creating a deck with an image on the bottom
and a canvas on top, but I need to make the canvas' background
invisible, and I haven't figured out how to do that.

PS, thanks to those who take the time to help with these
kinds of questions.  I got some very helpful replies the other
day.  Without you it would be Really hard to figure IV out.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

One way of doing it is to paste it in to the Paintbrush.

- Press Printscreen, run Paintbrush, go to options within Paintbrush,
select and pels for Units, ZOOM OUT from View, Paste, select Paintbrush
Icon, Zoom In; Presto, now print.

Hope this helps.

I apologise for the poor help.  Since I have the only OpenWindows 3 system
in this office at the moment, so I don't have many playtesters...

I append some mail I sent to someone trying to explain things.

Imagine that you are looking at a map of a minefield.
 
The map  is divided into hexagans, arbitrarily.
 
Certain hexagons represent areas of the minefield which conceal buried mines.
These would explode if you were to tread on them.  Ouch. :-)
 
When you probe a hexagon (press the left pointer button when the mouse pointer
is somewhere near the centre of hexagon, it doesn't matter exactly),
if there is a mine htere, you'll see an explosion (BANG), and the game will
show where all of the mines were hidden in case you wanted to know.
If there is no mine there, one of two things will happen:
(1) you will see a number, which shows how many mines there are in hexagons
    immediately next to this one.
(2) if there are no mines near this one, the hexagon will be drawn blank.
Of course, if there are no mines near this hexagon, you can safely step on it,
and also on all 6 - count them! :-) - beighbouring hexagons.  The program doe
this for you, to save time.
 
When you think you have found a hexagon that must have a mine under it,
press the middle mouse button over it.  This will put a cross on the hex to
neutralise the mine under it and to mark it as a no-go area.  When you have
marked all the mines, you have won.
 
Press the right menu button to get a menu that will let you choose an easier
game (e.g. Dan Quayle mode will probably make the numbers clear).  Dan Quayle
mode does not indicate any political affiliation on my part :-)
 
I hope this helps.

Hmmm..... Motif scroll bars are proportionally sized, and Open Look scroll bars
have a fixed handle, but if you look, the solid line on the scrollbar gives you a
proportional bar....

It's only brain dead window systems that have naff "fixed block" scroll bars

I think I may have an idea what your problem is:

In article 715474078@dufy.mmwb.ucsf.edu, kneller@dufy.mmwb.ucsf.edu (Don Kneller) writes:

This is probably not doing what you expect.  Unless you have explicitly
made /Keyable? an instance variable, or overridden it in your subclass,
this will change the default value inherited from ClassCanvas.  Which
means that -every- canvas which is inheriting that value will think that
it should be Keyable.  (This will take effect when the canvas is activated.)

If you really want to explicitly set /Keyable? in /NewInit, you should
use `/Keyable? true promote', or more cleanly `true /setkeyable self send'.
But a much better approach is to simply put `/Keyable true def' in your
subclass definition.

I don't have the 2.0 sources readily availiable, but it is possible that
we defined /Keyable? as an instance variable in that version.  We later
determined that it was much more optimal to inherit default values from
the class and only override them if they are explicitly changed.  (This
also makes it much easier to dynamically override variables which should
be set from .Xdefaults values.  But don't look at how we did the .Xdefaults
stuff in OW3.0 - it was completely replaced in 3.0.1, with a different API.)

Some Sun France person said me that NeWS is dying, and that OpenWin4
will not include a NeWS server, but just an X11R6 server with Display
PostScript and PEX (?) extensions.

I understood that within a year (ie in middle 1993) NeWS will be dead
(since OpenWin4 will be out in mid93).
Requiescat in pacem.

I still hope (ie dream) that someone will design an X11 extension (much
like SHAPE, or PEX) that will make the server programmable, and that
this extension will become widely available and supported by
toolkits....

Date: 15 Sep 92 03:49:51 GMT

Hiya,
	I've been trying to get an application started with a maximised window,
and so far have had no luck whatsoever.

I can create a full screen window (using getsysmetrics to determine the screen
size).  
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZED) creates the window full screen, but doesn't
change the parameters you get when in the WinMain fn on a WM_CREATE message - the creation struct still has the sizes of the unmaximised window in it.
I've also tried using the WS_MAXIMUM option in the CreateWindow call and this
does not help.

Any sugestions????

	Thanks.

So long as you have the QVT102A model, you can reprogram PF1 to 4 and Shift-PF1
to 4, which correspond to the first 8 function keys on ADM,TVI and larger QVT
terminals. They can have any 8 ASCII characters, and you program them by
enterring SETUP mode (Ctrl-Shift-Setup) and moving the cursor to the last field
of "Set 5 Status Line". Press the key to be programmed (with the Shift key if
appropriate) and then press any key that *won't* be in the string. Enter up to
8 keys, then that same delimiter you typed before.  As with other setup
parameters, save them to non-volatile RAM by Shift-S.

You cannot program Cntrl-PF1 to 4; you cannot program the keys from the host
(unlike the TVI950, etc), and you cannot, it seems, program the function keys
on the QVT102 models other than "A".  

If you don't have the "A" version, and you can't upgrade it easily, it might be
possible to do something with an input filter on the host computer - what do
you want to use the terminal with?

This is correct.  The usually approach is to define variables in
the shell and export them. eg.
	INIT = `tput init`
	CLEAR = `tput clear`
	export CLEAR INIT

Greetings,

This may seem a little weird, but I'm trying to connect an
old Teletype machine (one of those noisy things you see in
early seventies cop shows) to my Unix based PC.  The only
way I can imagine doing this is to get it connected via 
the RS-232 port.  The problem is, the connector cable on
the tty has a 6-pin male connection.  Can anyone of a 
technical nature please tell me how I can cut this thing
off and replace it with a RS-232 plug.  I'd appreciate any
kind of response, even if you're not sure.

Maybe there are adaptors?  I dare not ask the Radio Shack
people... they can only sell musical key chains.

Thanks for listening,

Ps. Does the "RS" in "RS-232" really mean "Radio Shack"?
