Hey. I'm looking for a client that can display color xwd format
files. This is how the xwd files were obtained: they were digitized
on a Sharp Chromascanner to produce PICT format files using
ImageStudio. The PICT was converted to GIF. The GIF was passed from
the MacII scanning system to a unix host using a TOPS network. The
GIF was converted to ppm. The ppm was converted to xwd. I used xwud
to display the image. Apparently xwud does want to change the
colormap to the embedded colormap in the xwd file. The image is
clearly discernable in there. Can someone point me to something
simple to display this guy?

I'm looking for a client that can display color xwd format files. The R4 xwud will work better for color.

>> I'm looking for a client that can display color xwd format >> files. As you've noticed color xwd files are not portable. If you have Motif libraries and license you can use my "xim" program directly to view and manipulate a xwd files. Otherwise you could use other xim utilities to convert to the xim format and use the xxim viewer. As easily as: xtoxim -in ???.xwd | xxim If you don't want to wait for the R4 contrib tape you can ftp the utilities from video.mit.edu (18.80.0.45). I will mail you the motif version, but be sure to send a legal address. Quite a few people have asked for it but it bounces back undelivered.

I don't have that (now) but my xloadimage utility (which was posted to comp.sources.x a few weeks ago) can do several other image formats which you can obtain with ppm. It currently is more-or-less braindamaged with respect to shared colormap entries but that will be corrected in the near future by a new patchlevel. If you have internet access, it is available via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/xloadimage.{tar,patch02}.Z. The new patchlevel will be available at expo and over comp.sources.x as soon as available, which basically means as soon as I have a couple of hours to put it together. If anyone has more specific questions, feel free to write to me at the address below. jim frost jimf@saber.com
