 Animation with XPutImage?
Nntp-Posting-Host: ioas09.ast.cam.ac.uk
Reply-To: 
Organization: Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge
Lines: 27

Hi, I'm new to this group so please bear with me!

Two years ago I wrote a Sunview application for fast animation
of raster files. With Sunview becoming rapidly obselete, I've
finally decided to rewrite everything from scratch in XView.
I put together a quick test, and I've found that XPutImage
is considerably slower  than the
Sunview command pw_rop which moves image data from memory
pixrects to a canvas. This was on a Sparc IPX. It seems that:
 the X protocol communication is slowing things down; or
 XPutImage is inefficient...or both! My question is, what
is the fastest way in X11R5 to dump 8 plane image data to
a window? Can I take advantage of the fact that the client is
running on the same machine as the server? Or am I stuck with
XPutImage ?

All help appreciated...thanks!

Derek

Yet again,

the escape sequences you are speaking about here are non standard and
dangerous. In fact, an ANSI compliant sequence parser HANGS on them.

Why are there such strange ESC sequences instead of compatible DSC ?

Even 24Bit TrueColor machines are in most cases running an emulated
8 bit PseudoColor visual, only to get standard x clients, motif apps and
thelike to run. I strongly suppose you to emulate at least:

  screen on this visual.

I have the exact same problem when running Hewlett Packard's Microwave Design
System  from an HP 380 unix box and running MacX 1.2, Sys 7.0.1*.
Normally, MDS draws a window with a deep blue backround, but occasionally
it becomes a light blue and all the text, etc, inside the window become
"washed out" . I thought that it was just something
brain dead that I was doing or a subtle conflict with another app or INIT.

By slightly moving the window, and forcing a re-draw, the colors get corrected.

 Authorization in OW 3.0 
Organization: NeoSoft Communications Services --  684-5900

Hello,

This is my first net letter, so forgive mistakes!

I have been plagued by problems  with
authorization in Open Windows 3.0 for a long while and
would like some help please!  I generally use strait
MIT X, and so don't use OW much, but when I share 
X software with others - bad news.

PROBLEM:

My friend who logs into his SSII trys to run my 
program that runs fine on my machine, however, 
my friend gets "client not authorized to connect 
to server" .  If OW is started
with the -noauth option all is well, but surely this
is not required in general!

Also, xhost + does not work, becoming root does not 
work, etc... 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanx

 REPOST: XView slider
Organization: The Internet
Lines: 37
NNTP-Posting-Host: enterpoop.mit.edu
To: xpert <>

Hi Xperts,

this is a repost (no one responded to my desperate yell 8-...

I'm using sliders in my XView apps, usually with editable numeric
field. But I seem to have no control over the length of this field.
In some apps it appears long enough to keep several characters,
in some - it cannot keep even the maximum value set by 
PANEL_MAX_VALUE! 

As I understand, PANEL_VALUE_DISPLAY_LENGTH, which controls
number of characters to be displayed in text items, doesn't
work in the case of slider, despite the fact that <panel.h>
contains the following bit:

	/* Panel_multiline_text_item, Panel_numeric_text_item,
	 * Panel_slider_item and Panel_text_item attributes
	 */
	PANEL_NOTIFY_LEVEL	= PANEL_ATTR,
	PANEL_VALUE_DISPLAY_LENGTH	= PANEL_ATTR,

which gives a hint that this attribute can be used for sliders.
But 1) setting this attribute gives nothing, and 2) xv_get'ting
this attribute gives warning: Bad attribute, and returns value 0.

Strange thing is that DEC's port of XView gives plenty of space
in a text fields, but not Sun's Xview...

Can someone share his experience in managing sliders in XView with me,
and clear this problem? 

Any help is very much appreciated.

 Text field in dialog widget doesn't get focus
Organization: College of Engineering, Univ. Of Wisconsin-Madison
Originator: 
Lines: 49

I am using the GLX widget + athena widgets on a mixed-model
application, under 4Dwm, but when the dialog gets popped up, its
text entry field does not have focus. Aimilar code works perfectly if
I use "pure X" . HEre is the relevant portion of
the code.

{
   int n;
   Arg wargs[16];
   Widget Button, PopUpShell, Dialog;

   /* initialize TopLevel here */
   .
   .
   .

   n = 0;
   XtSetArg; n++;
   Button = XtCreateManagedWidget;

   PopUpShell = XtCreatePopupShell;
   XtAddCallback(PopUpShell, XtNcallback, MyPopUp, PopUpShell);

   n = 0;
   XtSetArg; n++;
   Dialog = XtCreateManagedWidget;

   .
   .
   .
}

void MyPopUp
Widget w;
Widget popup_shell;
XtPointer call_data;
{
   XtPopup;
}

---

A way I found to give focus to the text field is to move the
application window around a little bit and place it right behind the popup.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Well, yes and no.  I don't particularly want this discussion to spark
a lengthy debate, but I do think it's worth pointing out that "popular
usage" is not always sufficient excuse.  

In this case, for example, I think an appropriate parallel may be found
in the pronunciation of proper names: if people commonly misspelled or 
mispronounced your name, would you feel compelled to change it?  Probably
not.  

The same is true of X.  "The X Window System", "X", "X11", and related
monickers are proper names in the same sense that any product name is a
proper name.  In fact, some of them are *trademarked* names.  The fact 
that many people get them wrong is largely beside the point.  

As for the trade publications that promulgate things like "X Window" or
"X.windows" or any of the other nonsensical variants one often sees, 
consider the fact that these publications are supposedly written by 
*journalists*.  Would you trust the facts of a journalist who couldn't
be bothered to get the name of his/her source right?  Would you trust
a product review by someone who got the name of the product wrong?

Popular usage is as it may be, but I for one am all for holding people
who claim to be journalists to a higher standard of correctness.

>Indeed, the fact that X won out over NeWS

X11 technically superior to NeWS?  Well, in *some* alternate universe

 GUI Study -- do users want to build solutions?
Organization: The Internet
Lines: 30
NNTP-Posting-Host: enterpoop.mit.edu
To: visual.com!
Cc: expo.lcs.mit.edu!



   ...let me point out that both GUI-based word-processors and text-based
   formatters both have a language; one happens to be mouse- and
   action-based, and the other symbol-based.

True, but that's beside the point. This is a fact about an abstract model
of what the GUI users are doing, not about what they actually *are* doing.
This abstract model is only apparent from the perpective of a *programmer*
of the system. 

I'm not saying that the programmer's perspective is evil or stunted. After
all, that's what I do, too! I am saying that UI designers must carefully
distinguish between the user/programmer conceptual models, and they must
ultimately serve the user of the system, not the builder of the system. 


   I don't recall the actual stats, but something like 1 in 5 people can be
   categorized as a "symbol manipulator".

It would be interesting to know more about the meaning and basis for this
claim. At any rate, I don't think this is evidence that 20% of users think
like programmers. Bankers, financial analysts, structural engineers ---
these are all people whose work you could characterize as primarily symbol
manipulation. But what they do is not programming, and programming is not
required to do what they do. 

To restate my previous point: yes, users want to build their own solutions;
no, they do not want to do programming to accomplish this.

 Why do I need "xrdb -m" when .Xdefaults unchanged?

I'm having an X resource problem using Brian Wilson's wscrawl 2.0

the following defaults in my .Xdefaults file :
  wscrawl.telePointerName:	Kevin
  wscrawl.syncScrollbars:		True
  wscrawl.continuousTelePointer:	True
  wscrawl.showPointerCoordinates:	False
  wscrawl*background:		LightBlue

Naturally, I exited the server and restarted it after adding
those lines to .Xdefaults .

If I run the following from a cmdtool :
  xrdb -m .Xdefaults
and then start up wscrawl, then all those defaults are used
properly.  Wonderful, yes?  Except that I can't get them to be
operative except by *manually* invoking the afore-mentioned
xrdb command.  If I try:
  xrdb .Xdefaults
the defaults "won't take."

So, I tried to change the xrdb call in my .xinitrc file from:
  xrdb  $HOME/.Xdefaults
to:
  xrdb -m $HOME/.Xdefaults

No go.  So I tried adding in:
  xrdb -m /home/kbw/.Xdefaults
at the beginning or end of my .openwin-init file.  Still no go.

Any notions what gives?  Thanks for the help.

 Xarchie-2.0 available on export
Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of Rochester
Lines: 40
NNTP-Posting-Host: enterpoop.mit.edu
To: 

[Please accept the following announcement for comp.windows.x.announce. -gf]

A completely revamped version of the X11 browser interface to Archie,
Xarchie, is now available as
	export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/xarchie-2.0.tar.Z

For those not familar with Archie or Xarchie, I include part of the
manpage intro:

  Xarchie is an X11 browser interface to the Archie Internet information
  system using the Prospero virtual filesystem protocol.  Archie
  provides information about files available for ftp anywhere on the
  Internet; Xarchie displays this information using an easy-to-use,
  point-and-click interface.  Xarchie allows you to further explore ftp
  sites by examining directories returned as query matches, and allows
  you to retrieve files located this way.

Xarchie 2.0 has been extensively tested on R4, R5, and a variety of
other flavors of X, and on a wide range of machines. A summary of the
new features  follows:

  * Major improvements include:
    - Multiple selections allowed in browser for use with other new
      features .
    - Ability to expand directories in browser.
    - Real fully-integrated ftp implementation.
    - Ability to save and reload query results, as well as print them.
    - Ability to resort results, and sort results by user-definable
      pseudo-weights.
    - Online help browser.
    - Color resources, done so that they don't break mono displays.
    - FWF FileSelector widget for local file operations.
    - Makefile.dst's supplied for the imake-impaired.

	Because xterminals do not have a NeWS server.  xterminals have
speed by nature of their limited functionality: once you add NeWS and
everything else, you have a workstation.  There are workarounds, I've
heard, one involving a perl script.  What we are trying to do is
replace programs that need NeWS  with programs that
don't .
	Maybe someone else can elaborate on the perl workaround; I
have no personal experience with it.
