I am trying to shape a window in X11R4 using Xlib. I want to make it a round-rect. Anybody know how to do this? -- -- $@2#2OEE5!3t<02q<R(J PA$@#15;#22](J TEL 0422-52-5748 FAX 0422-55-1728 E-mail harkcom@pa.yokogawa.co.jp

Strictly speaking, this is not possible within Xlib. However, the SHAPE extension looks and feels (:-) like part of Xlib. Assuming you accept it as such.... You use XShapeCombineRegion, XShapeCombineRectangles, XShapeCombineMask, XShapeCombineShape, and/or XShapeOffsetShape to manipulate window shapes. (There are other routines as well; see the documentation.) In your case, I would guess that you probably want to use XShapeCombineMask. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

Take a look at mit/lib/Xmu/ShapeWidg.c, particularly the internal function ShapeEllipseorRoundedRectangle. Even if you don't know Xt, you should be able to figure it out.

In article <HARKCOM.90Sep10190140@potato.pa.Yokogawa.CO.JP> I write:

And I got some good answers. please email me if you would like to
know also :-)

I got so many requests for the info that I decided to post a summary :-)
The first reply I got was from:
=} rws@expo.lcs.mit.edu (Bob Scheifler)
=}
=} Take a look at mit/lib/Xmu/ShapeWidg.c, particularly the
=} internal function ShapeEllipseorRoundedRectangle. Even
=} if you don't know Xt, you should be able to figure it out.
I took a look and found many things that are useful to me. Gave me a lot
of new toys to play with :-)
The next came from:
=} der Mouse <mouse@Larry.McRCIM.McGill.EDU>
=}
=} Strictly speaking, this is not possible within Xlib.
=} However, the SHAPE extension looks and feels (:-) like
=} part of Xlib. Assuming you accept it as such....
=}
=} You use XShapeCombineRegion, XShapeCombineRectangles,
=} XShapeCombineMask, XShapeCombineShape, and/or
=} XShapeOffsetShape to manipulate window shapes. (There
=} are other routines as well; see the documentation.) In
=} your case, I would guess that you probably want to
=} use XShapeCombineMask.
Which gave me even more toys to play with :-)
And from:
=} janssen@parc.xerox.com
=}
=} You will need to use the Shape extension.
=} Here's a simple example program:
[edited to be as small as I could make it... Al]
#include <Xlib.h>
#include <extensions/shape.h> /* include file for X extensions */
#define N 100
main (ac, av)
int ac;
char **av;
{
Display *d;
Window w;
Pixmap bmp;
long junk;
d = XOpenDisplay("");
w = XCreateSimpleWindow(d, DefaultRootWindow(d), N, N, N, N, 0, 0, 3);
XReadBitmapFile (d, w, av[1], &junk, &junk, &bmp, &junk, &junk);
XShapeCombineMask(d, w, ShapeBounding, 0, 0, bmp, ShapeSet);
XMapWindow (d, w);
XFlush(d);
sleep(60);
XCloseDisplay(d);
}
I appreciate all of the help, thank you :-)
