Re: The discussion about using images directly rather than going
    through XPutPixel.

I also would like to simply load the raw data into an array and
display it in a window - simple no?

I tried the following but got structured garbage instead of my
graphic:

	xi = XCreateImage(display, DefaultVisual(display, screen_num),
		1, XYBitmap, 0, image, width, height, 8, 0);

	XPutImage(display, win, gc, xi, 0,0, 0,0, width, height);

image is an array holding the data
the platform is a b+w Sun 4 running OpenWindows


I have tried dozens of combinations and permutations - am I doing
something totally silly? I have scoured Adrian Nye vols 1 and 2 but
they don't give much away.

The resulting font is still a derivative work.  It may or may not be
redistributable; it depends on the restrictions the copyright holder
has imposed.  (If there is any copyright holder, that is; some fonts
are public-domain and hence have no restrictions.)  If you can
redistribute, you usually do have to preserve the original notice; read
it carefully, and if it really makes any difference, go ask a lawyer
who knows copyright law.  (If you can find one who also knows
computers, that's better - and count yourself lucky.)

Organization: The Internet
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1992 15:01:17 GMT

Version 5.02 of CLX (the X library binding for Common Lisp) is now
available on export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/CLX.R5.02.tar.Z.  The
differences between this version and the version distribiuted with R5
are described below.  Please report any problems with this version of
CLX to bug-clx@expo.lcs.mit.edu.

- - - - - - - - - -

Changes in CLX 5.02:

Replace LCL:ENVIRONMENT-VALUE with LCL:ENVIRONMENT-VARIABLE.

Fix a declaration in the DEFINE-ERROR macro.

Quote type argument to TYPE-CHECK consistently.


Changes in CLX 5.01:

Support for MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authorization has been added.

All VALUES declarations have been changed to CLX-VALUES declarations.
VALUES is a CL type name and cannot be used as a declaration name.

All ARRAY-REGISTER declarations have been removed as Genera no longer
needs them.

Many type declarations have been corrected or tightened up now that some
Lisps look at them.

Print functions have been defined for bitmap and pixmap formats.

The DISPLAY-PLIST slot will be initialized to NIL.

When debugging, don't optimize SPEED in the buffer macros.

Make the CARD8<->CHAR and the window manager code work for sparse
character sets (where some codes do not have corresponding characters).

The default gcontext extension set and copy functions will take the
correct number of arguments.

PUT-IMAGE will now work for 24-bit images.

The buffer accessors for MEMBER8, etc., will use the standard mechanisms
for reporting type errors.

Typographical errors in SET-WM-PROPERTIES, SET-STANDARD-COLORMAP, and
POINTER-CONTROL have been fixed.

Symbolics systems will do lazy macroexpansion in the buffer macros.

A variety of changes for Symbolics Minima systems have been made.

Some system-dependent code has been added for CMU Common Lisp.

I would like to load 8-bits color images into a user interface built

What I need is being able to read an image file (Sun Raster format preferably,
but I can transform them to otherformats ) and put it into an X pixmap

use then XcopyArea to put the pixmap on the drawable.

Can anybody help ?

I don't know if these is relevant since I missed the original
question. But I just learned the following interesting things about X
on a Sun-4:

1) xterm and xload need to be owned by root and have the set-user-id
   bit set.

2) Programs run as root will ignore LD_LIBRARY_PATH and will only
   look in "safe" directories (such as /usr/lib) for dynamic libraries
   (to avoid an obvious security risk).

3) When dynamic loading takes place, /usr/lib is not searched;
   instead, the loader looks at a cached list in /etc/ld.so.cache.  To
   view the cached libraries, use 'strings /etc/ld.so.cache'.
   Installing a link in /usr/lib or changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
   insufficient in getting xterm and xload to work -- you must update
   the cache.  You do this by running /usr/etc/ldconfig as root.

Caveats: This information may or may not be relevant to the original
question.  It may not even be completely correct.

Simple yes...  Look at routine XMakeImage in X.c of contrib/ImageMagick.tar.Z
on export.lcs.mit.edu.  It loads image data directly to an X image without
XPutPixel.  It handles all depths, byte orders, visuals, etc.  Been using

Subject: X11/R4 Shared Memory Extensions -- Server Error
Date: 10 Sep 92 16:55:40 GMT
Organization: Media Cybernetics, Inc.

I've recently encountered an X Error while using the Shared Memory extensions.
The message is as follows:


X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
 Major opcode of failed request: 129 (MIT-SHM)
 Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
 Serial Number of failed request: 12615
 Current serial number in output stream: 12642


Briefly, the approach is as follows:

		image = XShmCreateImage()

		shminfo->shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, image->bytes_per_line * image->height, IPC_CREAT|0777);
		if(shminfo->shmid > 0)
		{
			shminfo->shmaddr = image->data = shmat(shminfo->shmid, 0, 0);
			if(shminfo->shmaddr != ((char *)-1)) 
			{
				shminfo->readOnly = False;
				XShmAttach(display, shminfo);
			}
		}


The code above would not do a XShmAttach if creation or attachment to the
segment fails.  Therefore, why is the XShmAttach causing a server error
every so often?  If anyone has encountered this before I'd appreciate
your feedback.



Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I am trying to move a widget around within a window (maybe later
between windows).  After dragging the widget around and deciding
to drop the widget, I will capture the x,y coordinates of the
pointer and XtMoveWidget the widget and drop it.

The problem is that the widget w does not drop where I point!
I did this -

    x = event->xmotion.x;
    y = event->xmotion.y;
    XQueryPointer( XtDisplay(w), XtWindow(w), &root, &child,
    &root_x, &root_y, &win_x, &win_y, &mask);
    XtMoveWidget(w, win_x, win_y);

I am also not sure what the x,y coordinates used in XtMoveWidget
represent - is it with respect to the screen, root, window etc.

Would appreciate any kind of help.  Thank you.

     Openlook is simply layered on X11R4 (or X11R5 whetevr the case of Sun OS is)

 So you can use 
1) OpenLook and X11Rx as it comes out of the box
   or
2) Use X11Rx as it cokmes out of the box
   or
3) Rebuild X11Rx and use that if you want to...

   I've ported XView to different platforms and all went relatively well, the only
problem I had was certain files missing in other X11Rx platforms ( which were
supposed to be standard and these were standard X11Rx files ) so I ftp'd them
from X11R5 at MIT. These files were always on Sun Machines (maybe that is why 
their system is so big???)

to get a nice unix box and hang about 4 x terminals off of it. If we did
this we would go with Autocad.  Can anyone give me opinions on Autocad
for unix?  Can I get some advantages of Autocad on unix over autocad
on dos?  The president of our company would like to stay with dos machines.
So I need to make a good case if I want to get unix.  (we were looking
at a sparc II running solaris.)

  Thanks

Hi again,

 I hope someone from OSF is reading this, because I can't find 
anything anywhere about this problem: 

I have a SelectionBox.  Some of the items in the SelectionBox's List 
widget child are in a bold font, and the rest are in the default font. 
Whenever I try to select an item that is in bold font, it doesn't 
get selected; i.e. it doesn't appear in the SelectionBox's
Text widget child. 
 
I realized earlier today that I wasn't loading the bold font
into the Text widget child (like I was doing for the List widget 
child) - so I did that, and *still* no dice. 
 
Please tell me that I don't have to implement my own SelectionBox!!!
 
Thanx,
Ron
