A couple of years ago, an XCMD called "DispPICT" (or so) became available. This created a double scrolling window in which a graphics image could be placed. I believe it also had a zoom feature. It returned the coordinates of a click in the window. Unfortunately, it only worked on a Mac II. Would anyone know where I could get a similar command for a Mac plus? The XCMD itself, source, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Walter Wolf waw@cd.rit.edu

The previous article had an incorrect address. It should be: waw@cs.rit.edu Sorry.

I also yanked it from something I didn't like and glued it into my home stack. > I believe it >also had a zoom feature.

It also returns a sometimes-annoying "You didn't click on the picture" message if you don't do so... but it's a minor annoyance that command-m clears up fast. > Unfortunately, it only worked on >a Mac II.

I'm using it almost daily on a Mac SE with only 1MB of RAM... you might have the DisPICT XCMD confused with something else(?). I'll attempt to mail a binhexed copy to your Email address (I know, the correct one's in the next posting). > > Walter Wolf > waw@cd.rit.edu +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Brian Lev/STX (301)286-9514 (FTS)888-9514 | | NASA Goddard Space Flight Center DECnet: SDCDCL::LEV (6153::LEV) | | Advanced Data Flow Technology Office TCP/IP: lev@dftnic.gsfc.nasa.gov | | Code 930.4 BITNET: LEV@DFTBIT | | Greenbelt, MD 20771 TELENET: [BLEV/GSFCMAIL] | | X.400 Address: (C:USA,ADMD:TELEMAIL,PRMD:GSFC,O:GSFCMAIL,UN:BLEV) | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "The ability of a network to knit together the members of a sprawling | | community has proved to be the most powerful way of fostering scienti- | | fic advancement yet discovered." -- Peter Denning | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | DISCLAIMER: THESE STATEMENTS ARE MY OWN AND *NOT* NASA'S OR STX'S! | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
