The examples from this book are available as working code in the Andrew

This book describes a toolkit for conversion to and from the ODA
architecture.  The toolkit is not supported, though we can still supply
it.  There are tools in the toolkit for conversion to and from ATK
formats;  however, the rest of ATK does not rely on the ODA toolkit.

I'm running unpatched ATK 5.1 compiled with the bundled compiler on a Sun IPX
running 4.1.3.  The cmenu help file sez:

PopupForegroundColor: black	(MenuForeground)
Determines the color to use for the foreground when drawing the menus.
The default value for the foreground color is black.  This attribute
is only consulted if the menus are being drawn on a color monitor.

Well, the menus seem to have decided that I don't have color hardware since
PopupOverlapPct: 80 and
PopupItemFont: -adobe-times-medium-i-normal--12-0-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1

both work in preferences (a link .Xdefaults), but PopupForegroundColor: red
doesn't. The following two do work, though:

help.ForeGroundColor: cyan
help.BackGroundColor: gray18

This is certainly not normal behavior.  Which version of Andrew are you
using?  (5.1 is the latest public release)  Check that
$ANDREWDIR/lib/compchar exists and contains the single readable file
comps.    It should start out like below...

# Standard composites file for CompChar, contains mappings for
# most ISO language characters and symbol and symbola font characters.

a^ 226 a\*(l^

a: 228 a\*(l:

Unfortunately ATK applications running under X are set up to send most
error messages to the ATK console program, so there may be a message
explaining the failure which isn't being displayed.  To avoid this you
could edit xim.c so that the first statement in xim_Establish console is
"return;"  This way most error messages will appear on stderr, usually
the tty the program started from.

I rather doubt it can be built as an application without building the
rest of Andrew, as it's built atop ATK.

You can fire it up as a separate program.

>Is it a full-functioning spreadsheet, or basic token spreadsheet, to be

Dunno what a "basic token spreadsheet" is, but, as spreadsheets go, it's
not exactly a power user's spreadsheet; it comes across to me as more of
a "proof of concept" spreadsheet, demonstrating that you can build an
ATK view/dataobject combination, usable as an inset, that offers some,
well, basic spreadsheet functionality for simple applications.

I suspect it wouldn't be screamingly fast for sufficiently large
spreadsheets, given that, as I remember, it parses the expression in a
cell every time it's evaluated.

Beats me whether any government has developed any spreadsheet.  There's
a freely-available spreadsheet for UNIX called "sc", and the GNU
project's Oleo may now be out, although, of course, while Oleo is
freely-available, it's definitely *not* public-domain - it's copylefted.

(It might be an interesting project to try to make Oleo into an ATK
dataobject and an ATK view, to replace "table".)

The table/spreadsheet inset is fully operational in several ways.  Any
object can appear in a cell.  The table prints.  And the set of
equations is updated as in any other spreadsheet.  However, the code
does not support automatic generation of graphs and charts.

Doing graphs and charts from table is tantalizing close and would take
a programmer only a month or so, but the Consortium members have not
had this as a priority.  There are two ways it could be added:
either an outsider can do the code and contribute it, or existing or 
new members may express it as a priority project, in which case the
Consortium staff could undertake the work.

Hello Khoros new readers, we are exploring the use of Khoros
for large geo-referenced data sets.  We would like to be able
to take data referenced in equal lat/lon space (i.e., the
data may be on a 1 by 1 degree grid) and be able to warp the
data to standard map projections (mercator, molleweide, etc.)
and then overlay lat/lon contours and geographic (eg.,
coastlines) boundaries.  Has anyone done this in Khoros??

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you are going to have to write your own version of raw2viff.

Jeff,

Both put_update and editimage understand the 24-bit visual.  If you have a
3-band viff of colormap type genericRGB or ntscRGB, pumping it to either
of these display routines should produce a true color image.  If you still
get the prompt to allow compression to 8 bits by an internal call to vgamut,
this probably means you've started up your X server in 8-bit mode.

BTW, I don't have a Sun GS, but rather a Parallax XVideo board, which is
also a 24-bit frame buffer (also has a true color RGB digitizer!).  Mine
works as noted above.

Hope this helps.

Wade

Heres the only way I can think of.
1) From within editimage annotate the image with, say, filled 
polygons. 
2) Save the image to disk (Dont forget to combine annotations first)
3) Map the image through the colormap and take one of the bands with 
   vbandspt1, i.e. vmapdata -i yourfile -o -|vbandspt1 -i - -o tmpfile
4) threshold the resulting file using vthresh.

This will not work if the original image has high intensity values that
match those produced by the annotation

You can stats on the selected image using vstats. It allows you to
specify a masking image.
