Subject: Prob. displaying PIXMAPS on SUNS
Keywords: Prob. displaying PIXMAPS on SUNS
Organization: The MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA, USA
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 19:19:42 GMT


Hi - 

General Problem:
We're having trouble displaying our pixmaps on Sun platforms.

Hardware:
We are using Sun 470's with Sony monitors and Sun Sparcstation 1+'s
as well as Apollo 400 series workstations. 

What we're doing:
An image of a map is composed in a composition pixmap of depth 8.
It is created from multiple bitmaps that are copied into the pixmap
using XCopyPlane with the GC set to use that bitmap as the clipmask.
This effectively gets rid of the background, and only those bits that 
actually make up the drawn image (in this case map data) get copied
into the composition pixmap. The bitmaps are all cleared with a fill
rectangle upon creation and only drawn to once. The composition 
pixmap is cleared after each usage by having the contents of another
pixmap copied to it, without using a clipmask.


The Problem Specifically:
That all works fine, the problem comes when we do a CopyArea from the
pixmap to the window. Some of the text and lines that the map image 
consist of are missing pixels. For example the upper arc on an "a" 
would be missing a few pixels, the upright line part of a "D" will
be missing a couple of pixels, the same characters are not consist-
ently drawn wrong either. The map boundary lines appear broken too.
The problem is not related to curved lines only, or to sloping lines.
This problem does not occur when the stuff is drawn to the window 
without going to the composition pixmap first. The problem does not
occur on the Apollo either. 


MY QUESTION:
Is this a Sun X-Window implementation (rendering) problem. Am 
I doing something wrong with the bitmaps/pixmap thing or am I
simply hallucinating, and in need of a week in Jamiaca?


Please HELP ME!

A multi-threaded version of Xlib (1.1) based on X11R5 patch 12 is now
available for anonymous FTP from:
        DEC on gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2) in /pub/X11/contrib/mt-xlib-1.1
        MIT on export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in /contrib/mt-xlib-1.1

This version, 1.1, contains many improvements over the 1.0 version,
including the fixes to several race conditions and deadlock bugs.  Also,
a few major performance improvements were put in this version.

The necessary files are:
   3 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp          3046 Jan 21 19:02 README
 112 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp        106235 Jan 21 19:02 mt-xlib-xhib92.ps.Z
1632 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp       1658123 Jan 21 19:03 mt-xlib.tar.Z

And they contain:
README                  - how to unpack and build the library
mt-xlib-xhib92.ps.Z     - the MT Xlib paper presented at Xhibition '92
mt-xlib.tar.Z           - the source code tree

Note:  Another paper was published at the USENIX Winter 1993 Technical
Conference.  It describes, in addition to the technical detail of
this library, the performance improvement and measurement that were
done since the 1.0 release.  The paper is copyrighted by the USENIX
and can be found under the title "Design and Implementation of a
Multi-Threaded Xlib" in the USENIX Winter 1993 Technical Conference
proceedings.

Currently the library supports Pthreads on OSF/1 from DEC and PCR on SunOS.

Chris Wood  (USA: wood.muc@sni-usa.com) asked me to send
the following query.
  #######  Multiple-Click Multiple-Action  #######

New to MOTIF and X-protocol, I see a general defect of
some GUIs. Our (SNI) experts say that the X-protocol
does not provide a solution. Can anybody help?

 If I click multiply on a "button", it is usually
actioned once for each click. This is not good.
Often the action produced by the first click changes
the window so that the second click becomes impossible,
or at least difficult to do. So it is silly to action
the second click just because it comes fast.
The user should be protected against shakey fingers,
(or perhaps he thinks double click is needed).

The widget can be programmed to avoid this, by ignoring
some clicks. But the "right" solution is surely to set
a window asynchronous in most cases.  The X-server would
not send to the widget, further interrupts generated
before the widget responds. Does a window need asynchronous
handling for type-ahead, when the keyboard is being used?

Symptoms are "connection refused" and "can't open display" errors from the

I assume there's something I have to fix in the pctcp.ini file.

The style guide gives :

Undo = Alt + Bkspace
Cut  = Shift + Delete
Copy = Ctrl + Insert
Paste= Shift + Insert

What keys should I bind to for a HP???

I tried the OSF Keysyms from /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but they don't
seem to work - I'm now using the HP specific keysyms eg. Ctrl<Key>InsertChar

Has any one got any advice???

Here is a fairly technical problem:

  If you are running a Motif 1.1.4 program with X11 R4 to a bunch of
MS-Window X-terminals (Xvision 4.1) can you do something that will
reduce X event traffic?  I am worried that when 10 people start
running a Motif program over Ethernet non value added X event traffic
will slow down the machine on which the program is being run.

  I was thinking that some command like XSelectInput() might be usefull.

  Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

We got sample copies direct from Prentice-Hall, since we sell them along with

This is my last call for help for an on-line Motif end-user tutorial.  This
tutorial would take the user through the basics of using the mouse and 
maximizing, iconizing, resizing, moving windows, etc.  It would be very
similar to the tutorials that are part of MS-windows and the MacIntosh 
environment.

I have found only one tutorial to date for Motif, but that is on DECwindows
Motif and we would like this tutorial on a Unix (RS/6000) platform.  I have
called OSF and they do not have anything for "end-users".  I just don't
understand why they don't...it seems like such an obvious need.  The people
we are trying to train have absolutely no computer (much less windowing)
experience.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!   Tom.

Hello, *

I am in the process of creating my own widgets in a library.
For example, I create a dialog form (XmCreateFormDialog) and then
stick various other widgets on to it.  I have also created some
convience functions that set text on various widgets within the
dialog for (XmMyDialogSetTitleText, XmMyDialogSetVersionText, etc...).
The programmer should pass the widget of the dialog form that he
wishes to modify.  My question is: how can I traverse the widget
hierarchy to get to the desired widget?

      DialogForm widget         <<--- programmer passes this widget
          TitleLabel widget
          VersionLabel widget   <<--- I need to get here
          :
          :
          :
          OKButton widget


Also, how could I distinguish between the TitleLable widget and the
VersionLabel widget when going down the tree (they are both of class
xmLabelClass)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

contents of the matrixWidget and then clicks in one of the text widgets, 
I want to force validation of the current edits in the matrixWidget. 
  Problem is, there is no callback invoked in the
matrixWidget for losingFocus. So....I am front-ending my focusCallbacks 
and activateCallBacks for the text and pushbutton widgets with:

   if (matrixCellDirty) {
	XmProcessTraversal(widget_bucket[k_matrixWidget],XmTRAVERSE_CURRENT);
	XbaeMatrixCommitEdit(widget_bucket[k_matrixWidget],True);
	return;
   }

  Well, what I end up with is some VERY strange behavior. When I click in
text widget 'A', there are blinking cursors in BOTH the matrix widget and 
in 'A'. The typing goes to the matrixWidget. If I then click in text 
widget 'A' again, the focusCallback for 'A' is NOT invoked (??it already HAD the focus, sort of?) Is 'stealing' the focus back like this not allowed?
  What obvious thing am I missing here? If this is a FAQ, please forgive and
tell me so.

Subject: How avoid line/line mapping of loaded image (II)

Dear Xperts,

Thanks a lot to David (dbrooks@osf.org), Mark (mark@bhanu.andyne.on.ca) and
gerrit (gerrit@xelion.n) for their suggestions on my "How to avoid line-per-
line mapping of loaded image" problem. I think we "greenhorns" (parden the
expression) are really privileged in having exports like them and others,
coming up with information one couldn't possibly have gathered from books...
  In fact, the experiments didn't take that long but I had few days off.
Apparentlly, the pixmap isn't stored in the server (X11/R4 DecStation 5000/200),
as a "ps -aux | grep ima" before and after the creation of the 512-512 pixmap
reveals:

        USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS TT STAT   TIME COMMAND
        vandamme  3566  0.0  3.7 1676 1252 p6 S      0:00 ima
        vandamme  3566  3.2  5.5 2484 1860 p6 S      0:01 ima

As I destroyed the original image and matrix used to build up the
pixmap from a file, I thought these figures should reflect the net pixmap
difference. Anyway, if pixmaps are stored off-server why should one treat it as
a precious resource. Sure, one could run out of main memory and swap space,
but is that really all what there's to it?

Any suggestions or comments are welcom.
