[comp.windows.x] Scrolling Pixmaps & Images

Stuart_Jefferson_Adams@cup.portal.com (09/22/90)

I am building a display window for live sonar data and wan't to
create a scrolling display with the sonar data moving upwards
as I paint new data on the bottom of the window. I am currently
using XCopyArea to perform the scroll and XPutImage to draw a new
line of 8 bit grayscale data on the bottom of the window.  

Is there a faster way to do this ????

Thanks,
Stuart

Take a look at the source code for XDataSlice (to be found via anonymous
FTP on 128.174.20.50/zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu); they set up no less than 15
scrollable pixmaps in one window as part of the 'unfold' feature for 3D 
datasets.  I don't know how... but it might be worth a look.
