Subject: Arrange graphs in xvgr2.09 not working.
Date: 2 Sep 92 18:23:35 GMT
Organization: University of Rochester (Rochester, NY)

Hi, netters,

 I am finding that the function of "arrange graphs" in the "View" menu of
 the new xvgr2.09 is not working. Also there is no "E" option on the main
 panel as claimed on its manaul. 

 One more thing, I found some times, if I read in data sets and then read 
 in parameter file, the program crashs. 

 Please give me some hints if you do.

 I tried xvgr2.09 with both distributed version and a my own complied version
 on Sun station SLC, 1, 2. Generally speaking, this is very nice program,
 having lots of good ideas, worth of having.  

 Thank you very much.

Hello,
 I recently installed on a Sparc2, SunOS4.1.2,
 the version 2.5 of ghostscript and 1.3 of ghostview,
 compiled with Sun C compiler and linked with X11R5.
 Everything works fine but the zoom : I get the zoom
 window but nothing inside.
 I had before ghostcript2.4 and ghostview1.1, and the
 zoom worked perfectly on the same files.

 Thanks in advance for any help

I've been asked to find some graphics/plotting software for some of our
users. They're currently using TEMPLATE on a mangeframe and are moving
into UNIX ``open systems''.

Some of their data appears to be simply arranged, eg: tables of
values. Some of their programs currently spit out commands like
moveto(x,y), drawto(x,y), and so on. They need to be able to label
graphs; use different plot symbols; do linear, semi-log, log-log
graphs; and run in a non-interactive mode. They also need some
provision for hardcopy.

Anyone have any suggestions? I haven't used GNU Plot, so don't know
how good a fit it is. If there's a package out there which can do all
this, let me know. Failing that, if there's a widget set which could
be extended to provide the missing functionality, that would be fine
too.

If you email, I'll summarize. Thanks.

  The xsetbg command can read in gif file, i.e. xsetbg -view filename.

  And there is a graphic editor package "xv" which can do the viewing.
  You can ftp from phloem.uoregon.edu, directory /pub/src/X11,

I've pulls off the /crontrib/x-source-list from export.lcs.mit.edu, and
this is a very good starter list of available X programs. After going
through the list, I was wondering if anyone else has a list of other
available X programs? export.lcs.mit.edu has many X programs in it
that are not listed in this list, and because not all X programs begin
with an x (for example tvtwm), it's not always obvious which programs
are X, or if it's worth the work to get the programs. Having lists like
x-source-list help weed through all of the programs out there at all of
the ftp sites. You can mail me if you want, but I'm sure others would
like to know of other available x-source-lists (what ever their names
mayb be).

While I'm taking about source-lists, are there other non-x-source-lists
available as well? Thanks!

Vi doesn't realize you have resized the window.
To get a window of a different size, use -geom,
like: xterm -geom 100x40 -e vi file
This is vi's problem, not xterm's.

: vi will set the

The number you give as the argument to "set wrapmargin"
is the number of characters from the right side,
so "set wm=65" means set the margin 65 characters from
the right side of the screen.
Try something like "set wm=10" instead.

SUMMARY: Searching for X-Windows image display programs/widgets

I'm searching for a public domain X-Windows based image display tool for
the visualization of 8 & 16 bit raster scalar data to use as part of a
3rd year computer science project. I don't expect to find anything that
meets all of the requirements (a draft version of which is attached to
the end of this posting), but I hope to be able either extend or use
parts of an existing program/widget for developing a program that does.

Could anyone who knows of any such programs (that are not listed below)
please email me a note with instructions on how to obtain a copy.

I have so far found the following programs but I have decided to
continue searching.

Complete programs :-

      saoimage     - iraf image display tool (X11)
      ximage       - NCSA image display tool (X11)

Widgets/libraries :-

      vimage0.9 - Widget set for raster image display

        Does anyone know when version 1.0 of vimage will be
        released? I haven't been able to contact the author.

Please reply via e-mail and I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance,

      o Images must be displayed in a format suitable for professional
        presentation (ie, at conferences on colour photographics slide
        etc). This will involve :-

            - labeled locational grids (by lattitude/longitude
              or line and pixel depending on the type of image)
            - coastline overlays (for geographically regular
              images using a map such as the CIA world map)
            - legends
            - labels
            - contrast enhancement tools enhanced over multiple
              images using a technique such as histogram
              equalization.
            - pseudo-colour manipulation and display facilities
            - gamma correction
            - image flipping (horizontal/vertical)
            - image zooming (in/out)
            - panning
            - contouring

here is a csh script I wrote.  Because it is a script, it needs to be killed manually
(it doesn't seem to die on logout) however, if it is just executed once manually and
in the background, it will lock the screen anytime xwindows is running on the terminal
When X is not runing, it will try to lock the screen, be unable to, and wait so it
will still work when X is running again.

I put the following line in my .xinitrc

csh screenblank.csh &

Sorry for the delay in posting this.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a question about importing
.eps files into xfig files and then outputing the result
as a postscript file.  xfig 'claimed' to be able
to do it, but I couldn't get it to work.

Anyway, Brian Smith responded to my article and asked me
to send him all my stuff (.eps, .fig, .ps files, etc).

He said I should get the latest xfig and transfig stuff from MIT.
I thought he might be giving me the 'run around', but decided to
get the latest and give it a try before I bug him some more...

And IT WORKS!!!!

xfig and transfig can be ftp'ed from 'export.lcs.mit.edu' under '/contrib'.
If you are having trouble with this problem, get them.  
I think the old ones had some bugs in them as far as loading epsobjects,
but the new ones definitely work!
It is important to get the 'transfig', because it contains the latest
'fig2dev'.  I think it was using an old 'fig2dev' that caused my problem.

I did have a few problems compiling the 'transfig' (it uses 'Imake' and
I needed to contact my local guru to help me out).
Also, I found some eps-making routines do not make a bit-map, so you
can't see the picture in the xfig application.  I found by loading
a image file into the 'xv' image display software, and saving it
from there as a post script file, made a very nice bit-mapped file.
It is supposed to be a PostScript, but works as Encapsulated PS without
any problem.

I got several requests to post a 'summary' of my discoveries with this
problem.  Not much of a summary.  Anyway, if any of you have problems with
this, I think you can e-mail Brian at envbvs@epb9.lbl.gov and he will
probably help you (he seems a very helpful guy).

And a BIG THANKS and hats off to Brian Smith, who was very helpful and

Hello all. 

Thought I'd report a bug in mxgdb version 1.1.4. 
(Sun SPARC, SunOS 4.1.1, X11R5p12, Motif 1.1.4)

When inserting a break in a for loop, i.e.:

for (count = 0; count < num_processes; ++count)
        {
                Foundry *foo = new Foundry;
--> Break Here  printf ("Fubar\n");
        }

stepping through the loop doesn't work. You can step through the first
time, but then the break is deleted and the loop runs to completion.

This same problem does _not_ exist in xxgdb version 1.06.

This may be because you do not have a FPU and did not compile 
with -fsoft-float.
