I'm interested in manipulating large X-window bitmaps, around 1000x1000 pixels. I was wondering if there are any applications available that allow on-screen editing, and have a format representation suitable for image processing programs. The program 'bitmap' does not seem to be adequate for the task. Kamran Rafieyan

>I'm interested in manipulating large X-window bitmaps, >around 1000x1000 pixels. There's a suntools program called "touchup", but it largely dumps core for me. There's a new "bitmap" program in the contrib directory on expo that's much better for big images, although it too seems to like to core dump. It does zooming, but the redraw of the unzoomed image is pretty slow, because it seems to use XDrawRectangle() to draw the bits. XDrawPoint() or zotting an image would no doubt be faster, but such mods are beyond my ken. The "raster" program from the Andrew suite (x11r4 tape 4 + 8 patches) is decent, but limited. -- -- Vertical justification -- just say NO!
