I know someone out there can tell me how to do the following: I want to create a window using a background pixmap that I have generated previously. So the pixmap is in a file and I wish to read it into a buffer and slap it up on a window. The application is a tool that displays floorplans of a building, I figure I first write a little program to draw a floorplan using XLine(), save the window Pixmap using PixmapGetXY(), and write the data to a file. When I fire up the application I suck the file in from disk and make a Pixmap from it with XStorePixmapXY() for use as a Window background. Should be a piece of cake right? Hmmm.... My first attempt has already crashed one mVax and, well... you get the picture. Any guidance from the X-men and X-women out there would be great. Thanks, Doug Turner

I believe the problem might be that you are tiling a pixamap greater than 32 by 32. If you want a larger background, try using the routine XPixmapPut first. The other pixmaps could then be placed on top. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gary Combs garyc@tekecs.GWD.TEK Tektronix, Inc.
