I would like to create an X-Window with no border or title
but I dont want the window manager to do it.  The application
should have the control.  When I use the override_redirect
attribute when my window is mapped, it doesnt change to the 
correct colormap, and when I press a mouse button, I get a
root window popup menu.  Any suggestions/solutions?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any experience with the XRemote software
distributed by UniPress Software. Such as, is it usable for
textediting, schematic editing, waveform editing applications?
(It's supposed to allow X windows over serial lines).

Does it do some sort of compression/optimization to get around
the slow transfer speeds?

Is a 9600V32 modem required BEFORE it gets usable?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am trying to Zoom in on a Pixmap.  The zooming functionality is working fine

Your posting does nothing to help the original poster, whom I have contacted
privately. I resent the fact that it might give the misleading impression that
aXe is difficult to build. To put the record straight I think it should be made
known that you have subsequently successfully built the current version.

No it doesn't. Everything that is required in addition to the Athena widgets is
contained in the distribution.

This is WM-dependent; it'll be true only for reparenting WMs.

Hm.  So "topmost" does not refer to window tree hierarchy.  I assume
what you actually want is the lowest window in the window tree such
that the pointer cursor's hot-spot is within the viewable portion of
the window and that the pixel of the window under the hot-spot is not
obscured by any other window.  (This mouthful is the simplest
descrption I've been able to come up with for what really is a very
simple concept.  If anyone has a simpler, but also precise, way of
saying the same thing, I'd like to hear it.)

Just call XQueryPointer repeatedly, starting with the root, recursing
down the window tree.  Note that there are race conditions; the pointer
must be frozen, and to be fully correct, the server must be grabbed as
well, though if all the windows in question belong to either the window
manager or the client doing the searching, omitting the server grab
would not be unreasonable.

If you don't know which screen the pointer is on (and thus which root
window to start the querying with), pick any screen, and if you get it
wrong, the first XQueryPointer will tell you so (and also tell you
which root window you do need to start with).

Normally, though, you don't need this, because pointer and keyboard
events carry this information with them.  You may be trying to solve
the wrong problem....

Subject: Periodic Alarm Events in X-Windows
Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 00:20:20 GMT


For my final Computer Graphics project, I'm supposed to implement a particle
system.  The actual application is up to me.

I wanted to make an endless animation loop, which can be stopped at the
press of the <escape> key.  To make it even better, I want to implement
a variable frame rate, controllable by the user while the application is
running.

It seems, however, that I've hit a snag.  How do I implement clock interrupts
as X-Windows events?  I could set a separate interrupt catcher that could
get an alarm, draw and display the new frame, and set up the new alarm, but it
would be a lot cleaner if I simply could set up a way to generate an X-Window
event when the alarm timer fires, so I could process frame refresh events and
keyboard events in the same loop.  How do I do this?

As before, my professor doesn't do X-Windows, so he's not of any help.

Hi, there!

Last week we got our IMS video boards IMS1000 and IMS1001 for our
SparcStation. The demo software includes a program that seems to be being
build with some sort of UIMS.

All the *.[ch] files include a line

This file was generated by `gxv' from `video3.G'.

The application itself is an XView application.

The FLAGS (C- and LD) section in the Makefile include references to
-I/sw/tools/guide/sun4/include, -L/sw/tools/guide/sun4/lib, -lguide -lguidexv.

So it seems as if this product is called something like GUIDE.

If there is anybody out there who can give me more information on this
product, please send it to me!

Thanks in advance,
Sincerly,
        Matthias

There are no rules about the lengths of integers except:

sizeof(long) >= sigeof(int)

and

sizeof(int) >= sizeof(short)

i.e. a short and a long can be the same size. I don't know of any
machine that has had an int shorter than 16 bits but my experience
isn't that wide. Int seems to be a data size that is easily implemented
and usefully long. As to which you should use, you must decide that
based upon the range of the data that you plan to handle. If you want
something that is portable then use typedefs that can be adapted for
each environment, perhaps with asserts to ensure that the types are
wide enough. Another approach is to use something like enquire that
comes with gcc to automatically generate the typedefs.

I did something similar, though I don't know
if it's a clean way. It sure looks elegant.

First: set up an alarm signal handler
Second: create your own client event with a unique identifier for the
timer and send it with XSendEvent. XFlush after the XSendEvent.

This is shortly how I did it,
if you wanna see some code, send me some email and I will
send you some simple code implementing this scheme.

BTW: I also tried implementing such a thing with Xt timer callbacks,
but that didn't work well. Some problems: it cannot be used when you are only
using Xlib and it doesn't fit in weel with the normal event lopp thing
of handling X events.

I recall seeing references to "xftp" in this newsgroup recently.
I envision it as an X client with menus and nice fill-in-the-blanks 
dialogs in place of ftp's command line arguments.  It would have
a file-list to show the current working directory of the remote
machine.

Is there such a beast available, based on Motif or lower level X stuff?

I've tried asking archie about anything containing the string "xftp",
but all I could find was somebody's shell script that started a normal
ftp process.

Anyone know of any?
