****************************************************************************** XIT -- The X User Interface Toolkit UTILITIES Copyright (c) 1992: Research Group DRUID, Universitaet Stuttgart ****************************************************************************** Various utility programs are distributed with XIT. IDENTIFIER To start: load the file identifier The identifier is used to select a window and to bind it to a variable (default: me) for further inspection or debugging. To identify a window first click left on the identifier button. An XORed frame will then appear, changing when you move the mouse. Click again when you have identified the desired window. MOUSE-DOCUMENTATION To start: load the file mouse-documentation The mouse-documentation is used to continuously presenting the currently available mouse (or keyboard) interactions in a mouse documentation line. The information given may partly be generated automatically from the description of the interaction objects. RESOURCE-SHEET To start: load the file make-resource-sheet The resource sheet is used to view and to edit simple properties of XIT windows, i.e. position, size, border width, and the colors for foreground, background and border. Colors may be specified by calling a color defining sheet (see below). Changed properties may be written to a file in form of CLUE resource definitions. Usage of the mouse-documentation is recommended. COLOR-SHEET To start: load the file make-color-sheet The color sheet is used to change the colors (background, foreground, border) of a window. Several ways of entering a desired color are provided. First, a known color name (as defined by the X windows rgb file) can be entered by keyboard. Second, a color already used by another window can be copied. Finally, the color can be mixed by manipulating two triples of sliders defining the color by its RGB and its HSB values. In this case the color is automatically "rounded" to its nearest predefined value and the corresponding name is presented. Usage of the mouse-documentation is recommended.
