I have created a GC with function GXcopy and another GC with GXxor for
drawing rubber-band lines,
I also set the foreground colors for the two GCs. When I 
draw lines with the first GC, I get the correct color.
However, the lines drawn with the second GC don't have
the color I have set, whose colors differ depending on the
objects alreay existing on the screen. Could you give
me a suggestion to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance!

PS: I am very grateful to those people who have given me the hints
about my last post concerning the Motif group. However, there is no
comp.windows.x.motif in my acess, but there are some others 
such as comp.window.x.intrinsic and pex.

This is what I want to do...

XFont = XLoadQueryFont(....)

Now I have an XFont structure

XFont1 = XFont;

deallocate XFont.ext_data,XFont.properties,XFont.per_char
and finally deallocate XFont.

Now I know you are going to say "why?" . 
Well , this is really from a snippet of code in Ada. XFont is a C 
variable whereas XFont1 is an Ada variable. 
This way when Ada program exits,It will Deallocate XFont1 and since
I have already Deallocated XFont, I will have no memory leakage.
This works with a certain compiler(Alsys) and does not with another
(Verdix). So. My question is ,is the above "Safe". Or do I have to
worry about some treacherous garbage collection, or dynamic memory
allocation routine to blow me away?. How about in X11R5 with a font
server? Would that impact me ???

Hi,

Here's the situation:

		+-------------------------------------------+

The outer box is my window.  The dotted ('.') box is the current
GC clipmask.  The small box is the area where I want to blit
an image.

The image could look something like this:

	+--------+
	|xxx/\xxx|
	|xx/  \xx|
	|x/    \x|
	|/      \|
	|\      /|
	|x\    /x|
	|xx\  /xx|
	|xxx\/xxx|
	+--------+

Where x is unknown and the blank part is filled with what I want
to be displayed on the screen.
I also have a clipmask set up to look just like the image except
that the x's are 0's and the blank part is filled with 1's.

How do I blit the image through my clipmask through the GC's
clipmask onto the screen?  I've tried a lot of things and none of
them seems to work.
Here is the final way I tried:
1) Create a 1 bit blank pixmap and a Screen Depth blank pixmap.
2) Create the clipmask image and the data image.
3) Do an XPutImage using the window's gc to put the clipmask
   image into the Screen Depth blank pixmap.
4) Create a 1 bit gc (its drawable is the 1 bit pixmap)
   with foreground 1 and background 0.
5) XCopyPlane the Screen Depth pixmap to the 1 bit blank pixmap.
6) Set the window's gc's clipmask to the 1 bit pixmap.
7) Set the window's gc's cliporigin to where the image is going
   in the window.
8) XPutImage the image into the window.

Somehow, after step 3, the Screen Depth pixmap is still blank (and doesn't
contain the clipmask ANDed with the window's gc's clipmask like it should)
no matter what I try setting the clip origin to.  When I set the window's
gc's clipmask to None though, the Screen Depth pixmap contains the whole
clipmask image.
How can I get the Screen Depth pixmap to contain the clipmask image ANDed
with the window's gc's clipmask?????
Or can anyone tell me a better way to do this whole thing?

What is the accepted way to set DESTDIR. I can't modify the Makefile to
include it since imake will come along sometime and nuke my changes. Other
files that have potential of fixing this say they shouldn't be changed.

I have already fumble fingered once and had to restore some files
because X installed where it wasn't supposed to go. If I have this
problem, what's the poor shmo that comes along after me (and desides
"make install" is a good thing to type) going to do.

To sum up: Do I really have to type "make install DESTDIR=/blahh" every
           time I need to install?

   RTFF (Read The F-word FAQ)

Not a nice way to react.  The original questioner is a little 
clueless.  So what.  Where you brought into this world knowing
everything?

   As Motif 1.1 has it's own Xt library it is not "compatible  
   programming-wise", as you must use it's Xt functions. However,
   I use X11R5 other libraries with it and it compiles fine.
   (I sometimes need the X11 R4 library too, but only on the DECs 
   where my Xm library is built that way.)

Wrongo.  You don't win the prize.  Motif 1.0 had it's own version
of the toolkit.  This was merged into X11r4 and Motif 1.1 and 1.2
use the r4 toolkit.  

   However, as my vague memory tells me, there is a Motif version
   that supports X11R5. Just read the FAQ.

Motif 1.2 is based on r5.

   About the second question , I don't see why not. The window manager
   does'nt know how the program was built.....

Probably OK.  No guarantees from me. 

Lighten up.  You can always ignore the questions.

The problem is that we use NCD x-terminals with an XDM login, so the
console is forced upon us. XConsole has to be run subsequently, and
simply doesn't get any input. Even if it did I suspect it would get
the SERVERs console messages, not the LOCAL ones.

(EG: I am on a machine, TSUNB, which serves the NCDs. The xconsole
     reports for TSUNB. But _I_ need reports for my NCD, tx107:0.0)

No doubt the console situation could be hacked.
But I'm keen to try to get twm to de-iconify on a signal anyway,
for general use.
Here we go...

You will have to go hacking on either the keyboard driver in your
kernel or the X server.  The latter is both easier (probably) and more
aesthetically pleasing (IMO of course).

The description of the StoreColors request in the protocol document

     A Value error is generated if a specified pixel is not a valid

I would guess that the 0x4030afa1 is the pixel value in question, in

Why this is happening is anybody's guess.  Try running your application

reference-oriented so we want to get a manual with a tutorial or some other
more friendly format.  (BTW, our version is for Motif.)

Also, I wasn't able to find a mailing list of users that work with this product.Is there such a group?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just wondering if there exists an application with an oscilloscope
display that can take standard PCM data from a socket and display
it in 'realtime.'  

Basically, has someone hacked x_soundtool or mixview to take its sound
data provided from a socket rather than from the audio device.
Basically, I have an application similar to netfone/vtalk or whatever
and I would like to see the data in a scope display similar to the one
from either x_soundtool or mixview.

Thanks,

Marc

	I would like to read coordinates from a serial device and move the
pointer.  How do you use SendEvent to do this?  Can you send the Events
to the RootWindow?  Does anyone have a code fragment that does this?  Perhaps
with buttonpresses also?

				Thanks,

Well, if you want to do double buffering, you should use the
'Multi-Buffering' extension instead of assuming that there is no
hardware support at all. Or using the usual colormap tricks to do it.

You misunderstood the issue behind it. I was claiming that it makes no
sence to use xengine as general purpose benchmark, since it shows you
only a small (and for most people misleading) portion of the servers
performance. Most people don't know what's going on in xengine at all
and wonder why their visually faster display is slower on xengine than
another one. You seem to forget that not everybody is doing annimation
under X. And if, they have double-buffering in hardware. Your advive of
doing things is quite far away from reality. HW accellerated is faster
on most areas than a dumb framebuffer with a hot CPU. And it's
cheaper. The bad side of this is that you transfers from CPU to Video
Memory will slow down, since normally only the graphics controller has
unlimited access to this memory. I can see nothing bad in this. And
you can even do accelerated double buffering by loading off the work
to the graphics engine. But in most server implementations this
special case is handled by an optimized extension. Why not using this
extension then ?

>The conclusion? xengine *is* a useful benchmark, IMHO.

Sorry, but certainly not for people that do DTP, Spreadsheets and so
on.
