[comp.windows.x] Printing Motif windows.

ivan@tse.uucp (Ivan Prock) (07/18/90)

We are using SCO's ODT product for Motif development work. We now
have a requirement to print out the contents of windows. We've had
limited success with the xwd and xpr programs - they seem to have
had a hard time mapping colour to viewable greyscale. Does anyone
know of a program that can take a Motif window and generate a file
suitable for printing on, say, a PostScript printer? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you could use black and white colors and instead of
  relying on motif doing the shadow colors, you could set
  shadow bitmaps using the resource manager.  These bitmaps
  would be in only black and white, so they should show up
  in your xwd dumps.  They might not look very good in 
  one pixel width lines though.
