Does anyone know if there is a PD/shareware version of GeoClock (a world map that displays light and dark - ala the $1300 clock of te same name) that runs under X (I'm running SCO's OpenDesktop). Thanks! Clay Jackson

Get sunclock.tar.Z with anonymous FTP from the contrib directory on
export.lcs.mit.edu.

First of all, just wanted to say that I like the program myself. But,
it seems odd that it cannot be resized. I assume this has something
to do with the fact that it was exported from SunTools source.
My question is: are there any other similiar programs available which
do allow resize and basic X11R4 command line options?
Thanks for any pointers.
JC

It isn't a list of vectors. One thing you can do (which I did) is to grab the source, resize the bitmap (using xv, pbm, or similar), clean up the bitmap (using your favorite bitmap/pixmap editor), change the bitmaps.h include file, and recompile. If anyone wants a hacked 320x160 or 1024x512 world bitmap for sunclock, let me know, and I'll mail it/them to you. (Default is 640x320.) (Sorry, I did not create 1152x576 or 1280x640 versions.) | My question is: are there any other similiar programs available which | do allow resize and basic X11R4 command line options? Sunclock is a wonderful program! One of the best programs of its kind that I've seen in X-land. Be happy with it! Roger roger@hpnmd.hp.com

Sir, I am just a new commer to the world of X. As usual I have got myself initiated into Oliver Jones and Young's book. So far I did not get a chance to look into a code which deals with bitmaps/ pixmaps. I have just started on the chapter on bitmaps/pixmaps in Youngs book. I find the best way to learn xXZ is to go through lot of example programs rather than just reading the books. I could not understand much about what you were talking in terms of the Geoclock etc. but I would like to see the source code if possible and also the bitmaps so that I can play with them. Is that a software for [A[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[CMay I have that program or does it have some copyright etc protections. BTW I have used a bitmap editor but where should I look for a pixmap editor? I am using SONY NEWS/SUN SPARC/IBM 6000 machines. Ignore any question which appears to be dumb because I am still an infant as far as X goes. Thank you Sincerely (NB: today is the first day of my subscription to this newsgroup so I am ignorant of whatever hapepened/happens here )

You can resize the window and the map will redraw to fit the new size. It even draws in the borders. Unfortunately, the borders look messy when iconified, and it's just too slow on my Sun 3/60. -greg -- -- Gregory A. Gulik mcdchg!motcid!gulik || greg@gagme.chi.il.us || gulik@depaul.edu

OK, I got a copy of the Sunview version (thanks to Dale Arends). Since I don't have Sunview on my HP workstation, I'm reading the source to try to figure out why it's better than the recently posted sunclock program. Could somebody give me a hint: What did Sunview's sunclock do that the X sunclock doesn't? | | ...and the Open Windows demo technochron (sp?) is even better! | | | | You can resize the window and the map will redraw to fit | | the new size. It even draws in the borders. Now this sounds impressive. What else does it do? Color? Zoom? AM/FM/Cassette? 5 speed? Turbo? Could somebody e-mail me the source to TechnoChron?
