We have a Tektronix 4693DX printer hooked up to an Apollo
network running Domain/OS 10.3.5.  We prf gpr bitmaps to
the printserver to get hardcopy on the 4693DX.

Tektronix is offering an upgrade for the 4693DX to turn it
into a Phaser II PXi for $2K.

If we upgrade the printer, will we still be able to send
gpr bitmaps to the printserver?  Will we have to convert the
bitmaps to postscript?  Will the printserver convert them to
postscript?  Can the Phaser II PXi handle bitmaps in addition to
postscript files?  Can the Phaser II PXi be connected to an
HP 720 running HP-UX and send it HP-GL files?  If so, what do I
need on the HP side to send to the printer?

I would suggest you fill in an array on the client side for the image and then
push it over to the server using XPutImage(), thus setting all the pixels at
once.

You do not *have* to draw into offscreen memory to do double buffered
animation. Another approach which is faster is to draw into the
window and flip the colormap to show the new image.  Of course this
assumes that you have a writable colormap (i.e. GrayScale, PseudoColor,
or DirectColor).

Just run "ico -dbl -p8" to see this method in action.

The OLIT toolkit provides support for this.  It selects for
PropertyNotify on the RESOURCE_MANAGER property (set by xrdb).
Widgets can register callbacks (see OlRegisterDynamicCallback(3))
to be called when this property changes so they can update their
state.

All your editor should need to do is pass your edited resources
to xrdb, and OLIT applications will update themselves
appropriately.

I'm using X11R5, running on a Sun 4 (using SunOS 4.1.2),
and am having problems with the Athena Panner Widget.

The problem is that when I set the "rubberBand" resource
to "true", which allows discrete scrolling, the slider
is incorrectly re-drawn when it is moved using the arrow
keys. It is still re-drawn correctly when it is moved using
the mouse.

I've observed this behaviour in my own code, as well as
in editres and viewres.

Any ideas?

How on a sun-4 keyboard can I set it up so that pressing shift-uparrow in an xterm
gives me the proper vt 100 sequence for this key, while unshifted it works normally.

I've tried 

    ~Shift<Key>KP_9:          string(0x1b) string("Ox") \n\

But it doesn't seem to work. 

Thanks,

XTrappies:

I've been trying for a few days now to incorporate XTrapV3.2 into MIT X11R5.
For those of you who have done it without any problems as the docs says should
happen, could you please enlighten me.

1) Which package of XTrap is current; the one released with MIT contrib tapes
   or the standalone version XTrapV3.2.tar.Z?  I ask this because their
   directory hierachy is different.

[Refering to XTrapV3.2.tar.Z directroy hierachy from here out]

2) Does the ./contrib/extensions/server/xtrap/build/install.XTrap* really
   work?  I have problems with BOTH sets of linking schemes provided.  The
   first set links ok.  But when compiling, the makefile chdir's into
   the linked contrib source directory and then refers to something via dots
   (../) to something in the MIT directory.  With the second set of links, the
   contrib source files are missed by about 1 or 2 directories.

3) Which patch level of X should XTrap be applied to? Does it even matter?

4) I get rejections from 2 of the patches.  After examining the patches, it
   looks like the author's X source is different than that of MIT's.  Just one
   example, in MIT's ./mit/server/Imakefile, there is this:

	XCOMM $XConsortium: Imakefile,v 1.135 91/09/22 10:27:51 rws Exp $
	/*
	 * Server Master Makefile
	 */

	#include <Server.tmpl>

	#define StdSubdirs dix os ddx/mi
	#define MFBSubdirs StdSubdirs ddx/mfb
	#define CFBSubdirs MFBSubdirs ddx/cfb
	#define StdLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(MI) $(EXTENSIONS)
	#define MFBBareLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(FONT) $(MFB) $(MI)
	#define MFBLibs MFBBareLibs $(EXTENSIONS)
	#define CFBBareLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(FONT) $(CFB) $(MFB) $(MI)
	#define CFBLibs CFBBareLibs $(EXTENSIONS)

   But in the author's patches, the lines after `#include <Server.tmpl>',
   which the patch uses as an anchor, don't exist in both the old and new
   sections.

   AND... in the same file, MIT has this line ...`/ospex/libospex.a' while
   in the authors', it has this line ...`/ospex/4.2/libospex.a'.

   Again, this is just to name a few.

5) I found that <sys/time.h> has to be included in chparse.c, correct?

6) I found that prototying problems for non-ANSI C in xtrapchar.c, correct?

Is there something else, last minute bug fixes maybe, that I should know about?
Is there a more plug-n-play XTrap package out there?  Messing with the things
I did just to get it to compile might have screwed something up.

Thanks,
Please email any suggestions to:

A colormap resource looks like a colormap id.  You can create the colormap 
yourself before creating the shell, or the colormap ID could be created by 
another client and the ID passed as a command line argument.  If another client
creates the colormap, be sure the other client either stays up for the length of
time you need the colormap or that the other client calls XSetCloseDownMode.  If
you don't do either of these, the colormap will be destroyed when the creating
client goes away.

Hello Xwindows experts:

I've been using various program examples from Adrian Nye's
"Xlib Programming Manual" to compare behaviors on Sun workstations
vs. RS6000s. One of these is xman, a basic window manager listed
in the book beginning on pg. 411. One of the subroutines, 
move_resize (pg. 426), allows one to move windows around interactively
with the mouse, drawing the outline of the moved window to the
RootWindow, a call to DrawRectangle. On the Sun, evertyhing behaves as
it should; on the RS6000, no rectangles appear, ever. If anyone has
used xman on an RS6000 and has been able to make the program work,
or knows whats going on here, please enlighten me.
thanks!

   A group of computer science seniors here at Auburn University implemented a simple
project management tool a few quarters ago. It provided a memo and scheduling utility
for multiple users and an interactive Gantt chart tool among its features. It was
implemented using the Athena widget set and it provided rudimentary PostScript output.
It also came with a user's manual and extensive project development notes (that was the
point of the course, after all! :)  )
   If anyone is interested, I could try to locate the students and see if they would
mind posting the source code somewhere. It would probably need a bit of cleaning up
before distribution, but it's better than nothing. The version I saw was extremely easy
to use, and actually looked like it would be *FUN* to use...
   By the way, is anyone out there interested in critiquing new widgets??? I've been
writing a few for a research project, and I'd like to get some reviews when they're
done (probably next month)...

Hi,

I administer a few workstations running X.  Yesterday
a new user asked my about changing the colors I had
set as the defaults for xterm.  I showed him rgb.txt
to give him all of the names of colors, and he asked
it there was a program to quickly view these colors.

Is there?

I know about xfontsel and it seems like it would be
nice to have some program to view (or even create and
then see the rgb values for) colors.  Even better if
it would let one see how one color text looks on top
of a different color background.

I modified the R4 cfb to run on a 2-bit display; you may or may not
find the patches useful.  If you want 'em, they're up for ftp from
larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu (132.206.1.1) in X/XNeXT (get the distribution;
it has more than the patches you want, but not a whole lot more, and I
don't have just the patches split out handy anyway).

Unless they've cleaned it up a lot since R4, you cannot change the
depth just by tweaking cfbmskbits.h.  Check out the NeXT patches....

I'm writing a widget which is used as a direct child of a top level
Shell widget. Because of what the widget does, it should be able to
have a border, however somewhere between the initialize procedure and
the Realize procedure the border width gets set to 0, I presume by
the toolkit or the shell widget. 

Is there some easy way I can stop this happening? I have tried the FM,
but it doesn't seem to be anywhere I can spot. I'd like to avoid
creating a custom Shell widget :-).

This is R4 and the Athena widgets. My code doesn't even mention the
border width except to use it to calculate things, so it probably
isn't me.

Hello, all,

I'm installing X11R5p13 on a SUN 4/75 running SunOS 4.1.1 in Taiwan,
but run into a problem that's probably more related to the configuration 
of my machine. When compiling various files, I got the message:

compiler(iropt) error:	write_irfile: No space left on device
 
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `charproc.o'
============================================================

Note that the file system containing the X11R5 is not really full.  As
a matter of fact, it has around 400MByte left.  But it says the root
file system is full.  This makes me wonder if it's some /temp area
that is filled up.  Anyboby who can help?

These are the only files that are causing the problem:

Along similar lines, has anyone considered a 2D Motif widget set (or at
least dynamic libraries that I can use on a sun)?  Alas, I am forced to
use some Motif applications, but I find the 3D appearance very
distracting and wasteful of CPU and screen space.
