Khoros users - 

I have recently obtained Khoros and it looks great.  However, there is one
type of operation that I am particularly interested in (right now), and it
must exist in Khoros, but I cannot find any reference to it in the
Khoros manuals (Volumes 1 and 2 so far).  So, I thought I might get a 
quick response from one of you.

I simply want to load an image and use the mouse to define irregularly-shaped
regions of interest; e.g., clouds, snow cover, etc.  I would then like to
save this mask as a separate file/image, where all pixels within the
region(s) of interest are assigned one value and all pixels outside receive
a different value.  Additionally, I would like to see simple statistics for the
masked areas; e.g., the mean and standard deviation.

I would appreciate any help that I can get on this.  I'm sure I would 
eventually figure it out myself.  On the other hand, it seems as though
an operation like this should be well explained in the manual, which it
isn't. 

Thanks.

Yup, and the display variable has been set.

I have gone over all the stuff going on before the call to xvf_create_form
and I am reasonably sure that no array ends are being over written.

No calls to any xvdisplay routines yet.  Haven't gotten that far 8).


I've tracked down exactly where the error is occuring :

       glyph_button = XtCreateManagedWidget(label, commandWidgetClass,
                                             parent,arg,i);

This is line 795 in KHOROS_HOME/src/xvroutines/Lib/xvforms/wid_util.c.

The stack of calls looks like this :
xvf_form_create_glyph_sel
xvf_build_form
run_enterob
main

It looks as though the widget it is trying to create is the 'Glyph'
button at this point.

At the point of error the values of the arguments are :
label = 0xf46b8 "Glyph"
parent = 0x1326c8  (This is the form->back widget)
arg = (
{
        name  = 0xf4668 "width"
        value = 49
}
{
        name  = 0xf466e "height"
        value = 15
}
{
        name  = 0xf4675 "fromVert"
        value = 0
}
{
        name  = 0xf467e "fromHoriz"
        value = 0
}
{
        name  = 0xf4688 "horizDistance"
        value = 7
}
{
        name  = 0xf4696 "vertDistance"
        value = 7
}
{
        name  = 0xf46a3 "label"
        value = 1001144
}
{
        name  = 0xf46a9 "resizable"
        value = 1
}
{
        name  = 0xf46b3 "font"
        value = 1269496
}
`lxvobjects`xvf_mycreate_glyph_widget`i = 9 (9 args in arg)


And last but not least, the error was :
signal BUS (alignment error) in Get_GC at 0x60e64
Get_GC+0x14:    ld      [%o0 + 4], %o0


Any help is most appreciated.

Folks,
  Well I got such a fast response from my last question, so here's another:
I have a Sun Sparc 10 with 24-bit graphics ("GS" in Sun lingo).  I see
that Khoros has a function to compress 24-bit images to N-plane pseudo
color (vgamut), but I would like NOT to compress it; i.e., to display
three 8-bit planes.  Is this possible?

Hello ,
I am new to this Khoros envt. I just wanted to know whether Khoros has been
ported to Linux OS. Here in my lab, we have a Sun 3/260 with not much of
hard disk space left. We also have Linux running very satisfactorily on IBM
386 m/c with X, we also have enough disk space left there.

As per the FAQ, this satisfies all the three basic reqts of over 100MB disk
space, X windows and UNIX type OS.

Has anyone tried this porting already? If so, please let me know at
anoop@ee.iitb.ernet.in

many many thanks in advance,

Is there a khoros function for handling unsigned integers?
i.e. 8, 16, and 32 bit integer pixels.
For example, one CCD system I have produces 16 bit unsigned
pixels in a FITS file format. The fits2viff conversion program
doesn't like 16 bit FITS files, so I tried raw2viff which treats
the data as 16 bit signed values.

Optionally, you can figure out how to convert from one representation
to another. Im on a Sun Sparc and to convert the number to its
correct unsigned value, I add 2^16 = 65536 to all negative pixels.
So the following takes a raw unsigned short data file and converts
to a VIFF int file.

---------------------------ushort2int---------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
#usage: kscript filename rows cols
#creates: filename.viff

#first convert to int file
raw2viff -i $1 -r $2 -c $3 -t short -o -|\
vconvert -i - -o /tmp/ushort2int.tmp -s 1.0 -t int

#offset only negative pixels
vclip -i /tmp/ushort2int.tmp -l -2e15 -u 0 -o -| \
voffset -i /tmp/ushort2int.tmp -o $1.viff -m - -x 65536

rm -f /tmp/ushort2int.tmp

We WILL join the consortium if we decide to commit to KHOROS.

Subject: A series of simple-ish questions
Date: 24 Dec 92 03:10:39 GMT

(Good grief, I feel ignorant.  Bear with me, please.  I promise I'll
take that Intro to Image Algebra course next semester.)

I have a version of our University seal which I've helped to digitize
into PostScript splines in a drawing package.  It looks good printed 8
inches across at 300 dpi.

(a) I also want to print it 0.6 inches across at 300 dpi for
letterhead.  It looks cruddy that way, as many of the details that are
outlined by splines are smaller than 1/300 of an inch; PostScript
fills in too many dots due to its coloring rule.

(b) If I render the PostScript into a bitmap and have PostScript
shrink and print that, it looks much better, because PostScript is
smart about such things.  However, I think I can do better.

(c) The result I'd rather have is one an artist trained in hand-tuning
bitmap fonts produces; angled lines are suggested by customized
halftones which serve to antialias them.  Features smaller than 300
dpi are "greeked", and so forth.

I'd like to find out how far Khoros can take me to (c).  I can use
Ghostscript or my NeXT to produce a bitmap of the logo at a large
size.  I suspect I can then "blur" or "antialias" or "low-pass filter"
that bitmap with Khoros [details?].  I suspect I can then "dither" or
"halftone" this gray image into a B/W bitmap [details?] which would
look better on my printer than (a) and (b) but not as good as (c).

Am I correct to say:

	A "digital halftone" turns a single gray pixel into a regular
	arrangement of B/W pixels, which are set by a rule called a
	"spot function", which when low-pass filtered by the eye
	approximates the original gray.

	A "dither" turns a single gray pixel into a single B/W pixel,
	but the region around a B/W pixel approximates the value of
	region around the gray pixel when low-pass filtered by the
	eye.  Dither algorithms are usually more clever than halftone
	algorithms, because the job is harder.

	You could combine the above two to make a halftone scheme with
	a clever spot function that eliminates bumps in the gamma
	curve and visual artifacts caused by regular shapes appearing
	in the halftone cells.

	Maybe the difference is best stated as "a halftone never looks
	at values outside the source gray pixel".

I have Khoros v1.0.  Thanks for your time and whatever light you can
shed on this stuff, and Season's Greetings.

undefined references, both from X and KHOROS libs. I have also tried to

I have been thinking :-( about the database issue that has surfaced
periodically. The basic question being how can khoros help with 
the problem of data/results organization.

I am probably going to try using the K2 formats (ie data services)
to store data and processing results. I believe that will be a very
rich palette. 

I'd like to throw out the idea of a utility to tap the comment fields
of all the data files in a directory or registered with the browser.
It could tap the full header. The information could displayed,
held (a catalogue), or processed (ala awk/perl).

This (purposely...honest) is an ill formed idea. I want to see
if we can put it into a useful form. I think this might be a useful
tool that should be easy to implement. 

Ok, it's not really a database, but given viffs within viffs, it could be.
It's more of an organizational tool. (God help those EOS guys!! :-)

Run editimage. Use the annotations capability. Remember to "combine
annotations". Use the "Input/Output" menu entry to save to a file.

Subject: window crashes in editimage
Date: 30 Dec 92 02:47:26 GMT

I'm running Khoros on an SGI Indigo R3000. I'd like to use the
annotation facility but have not been able to access it through
cantata. If I call up editimage in routines, I get the interactive
display pane but annotation commands. I can access editimage through
the shell, but when I open an input file the window crashes and I get
logged out of the system. There is an error message that flashes
by-too quickly to read it. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem? Any
help will be **greatly** appreciated!

Thanks.
