.SH NAME
xview \- xview toolkit information
.SH SYNOPSIS
There is no
.B xview 
command per se, but this manual page will briefly describe XView features and
functions.
.SH AVAILABILITY
XView is available with the OpenWindows distribution.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B XView
(X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for Workstations)
is an Open Look user-interface toolkit which supports development of
interactive, graphics-based 
applications running under the X Window System.
For detailed information 
see the
.I XView Programming Manual
.\" .TZ OREILLY7
and the 
.I XView Reference Manual.

.SS Internationalized Support
XView now has support for internationalization. This includes locale
setting, localized text handling, and dynamic object layout. See the 
.I XView Programming Manual
.\" .TZ OREILLY7
for details. 
.SS Command Line Resource Arguments
XView-based applications display characteristics can be
controlled by supplying command line 
arguments to the applications at start-up.  
The usage is as follows:
.sp
.I % program -argument1 value1 -argument2 value2...
.sp
In the tables below, 
.B Argument(s)
shows the short argument followed by the long argument\(emeither can be used.  
.B Type
describes the type of value the arguments can receive.  
.B Resource
describes the X resource name modified by the arguments.
.B Default
is the default value.
.B Description
describes what the arguments do.
.B Example
shows an example of a command using the argument.

These are controlled by the window manager.
To find out what fonts are available, use the 
.BR xlsfonts (1)
command.
If the
font you specify cannot be found, you will see an error message such as:
.sp
.nf
.I "XView warning: Cannot load font 'galant-24' (Font package)"
.fi
.I "XView warning: Attempting to load font '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' instead (Font package)"

integer integer
.TP
.B Resource:
Window.X and Window.Y
.TP
.B Default:
depends on window manager
.TP
.B Description:
Sets the initial position of the application's base frame in pixels.  The
upper left corner of the screen is at position (0,0), with the
x-axis increasing to the left, and the y-axis increasing
downward.
These values will also be generated 
by the "Save Workspace" option on the root menu into the 
\fB$HOME/.openwin-init\fP file when using the Open Look Window Manager.
.TP

.TP
.B Resource:
Window.Geometry
.TP
.B Default:
depends on application and window manager
.TP
.B Description:
This sets both the size and the placement of the application's
base frame. This option has priority over the 
.B -size 
and 
.B -position
arguments. The size and placement parts of the value are optional.
You can set just the size, just the position, or both.
The size values are measured in pixels, and the position values
use the same semantics as
.B -position.
However, if you use the '-'
in front of an X value, it will be taken as relative to the right
hand side of the screen, instead of the left.  Likewise, if you
use the '-' with the Y value, it will be taken relative to the
bottom of the screen instead of the top.
.TP
.B Examples:
.nf
.B "cmdtool -geometry 500x600"
.fi
(will make the base frame 500x600 pixels, with the
position set by the window manager)

left hand side of the frame 10 pixels from the left
hand side of the screen, and the top of the frame
20 pixels from the top of the screen)
.IP
.nf
.B "cmdtool -WG -10+20"
.fi
(will make the base frame of default size with the

.fi
(will make the base frame 400x300 pixels with the
right hand side of the frame flush against the right
hand side of the screen, and the bottom of the frame
flush with the bottom of the screen)

.sp 
The internationalization features that XView now supports include
locale setting. One of the ways locale can be set is with command line 
options. See the

.SS Command Line Options/X Resources for Debugging
The following switches/resources can be used during development to
avoid the locking up of screens or other effects of X grabs that are
done by XView.
.sp
It should be noted that these options/resources should only be used by 
developers and are not for normal usage.
The X grabs are done for a specific reason, and are not
meant to be customizable.
Without the X grabs, certain features in XView
(those that depend on X grabs) might not function properly.
.sp

.TP
.B Type:
boolean

Fullscreen.Debug
.TP
.B Default:
FALSE
.TP
.B Description:
Enables/disables fullscreen debugging mode during which X grabs
(XGrabServer(), XGrabKeyboard(), XGrabPointer()) are not done.
When using the fullscreen pkg, the X11 server will
be grabbed which prevents other windows on the server from responding
until
the grab has been released by the one window which initiated the grab.
Refer to Appendix F in the
.I XView Manual: Converting SunView Applications

Window.PassiveGrab.Select
.TP
.B Default:
TRUE
.TP
.B Description:
Disables the passive grab that is done on the 
SELECT button.
XView does a passive grab on the
SELECT button to avoid input focus race conditions.
When this passive grab is disabled, input focus race
conditions may be seen.
.TP
.B Example:
% cmdtool -disable_pass_grab_select
.br
This executes a cmdtool that does not perform any 
passive grabs on the SELECT button.
To do the same thing using X resources, add the following entry
to the X resource database:
.br
Window.PassiveGrab.Select:False
.sp
.SS .Xdefaults File
The \fB.Xdefaults\fP file is used to store and retrieve resource settings.
We recommend, however, that you use the
command line arguments described above in order to change display
characteristics. Changing the resources in the \fB.Xdefaults\fP file will modify
the behaviour of the user's session.  Novice users should not
casually hand modify these settings. Before attempting edits to
this file please read the appropriate sections of the
.I Xlib Programming Manual
.\" .TZ OREILLY1
on the file
format and the specific properties you intend to change.
.sp
Note that resources documented below do not have command line arguments.
It is still possible, however, to change them without altering the \fB.Xdefaults\fP
file.  Refer to the command line arguments 
.B -xrm 
and 
.B -defaults 
for instructions on how to to this.  Additional resources that have 
command line arguments are documented in the previous section. For mouseless
resources refer to the
.I XView Programming Manual.

.B Resource:
text.delimiterChars
.TP
.B Values:
string (' \\011!\\"#$%&\\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\\\]^_`{|}~')
.TP
.B Description
This resource allows the user to select the delimiter characters that
are used when doing word level selections in the XView package.  It was
added because of the needs of the international marketplace, and it 
allows the user to define the local delimiters for the character set
that is being used with the current keyboard and Sun workstation.
.sp
Note that the octal characters can be scrambled by 
.B Xrm 
during a rewrite of the value of text.delimiter.Chars. 
.B Xrm 
interprets the text.delimiterChar string when it is loaded.  
Specifically it will
decode the backslashed portions of the string and convert them to
octal representations.  When this is passed to the client application,
the logic will function correctly.  However, this misbehavior of 
.B Xrm
causes the string to be stored incorrectly if the user saves the \fB.Xdefaults\fP
file using the \fBXrm\fP content of the string. The specific
problem(s) that occur are the stripping of the backslash characters
and the expansion of the tab character (\e011).
.sp
To correct this problem, one can put the text.delimiterChar entry into an 
.B .Xdefaults 
file that will not be overwritten when saving the
workspace properties (for example, a system wide defaults file).  Or a
copy of the text.delimiterChar entry can be inserted after \fB.Xdefaults\fP
file saves.
