I'm looking for a mouse based cut and paste editor I can use with color
gif pictures. [ What implications does this have for pictures with different
color maps? ] I'd prefer something that ran under X11, but a sunview or
openwindows editor would be better than nothing. Unfortunately, tgif doesn't
seem to be quite what I want though. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
Thanks in advance...

Once you have the picture up on the screen, make a box using the middle mouse button, then use the right button to bring up the picture editor. Press the crop button, and then save it. I have no idea where this program was originally received from, but I've seen a lot of references to it in this group. You might check some back posts of this group. (Try the file locator server archie if you want to go the easy way.) Brad

I didn't respond to this posting initially because while xv DOES allow you to cut, it doesn't allow you to paste. You can only crop out sections of pictures. This CAN be handy. I have an xbm picture that was a scan of my autographed photo of Elvira (pant, pant..... er, sorry) that had a small white border around it. I cropped of the border and the size of the image went down considerably. xv CAN save you a buncha disk space if you have a lot of images with wasted space on them. -- +------------------------------------------------------+ |Dave Cochran (cochran@spam.rtp.dg.com) | |Data General Corporation, Research Triangle Park, NC | +------------------------------------------------------+ |Just suppose there were no hypothetical situations... | +------------------------------------------------------+
