Hello, I have a simple question regarding placing images cut out from a window onto a totally blank screen. If I use icut to get an image how do I display it without anything else? Please reply to my e-mail account as I don't get a chance to review this board quite as often as I would like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Bond - University of Pennsylvania Chemical Engineering Labs Reply to: bond@picasso.seas.upenn.edu "Wherever you go, there you are" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It also has an option for doing the same thing in the 'video area' i.e. the lower-left quarter of the screen. To recap the earlier posting: Several useful image conversion/display routines are available (as exectubles only) from gauguin.princeton.edu int the file pub/pxtools.tar.Z. The utilities read image files in the following formats: TIFF, GIF, SGI, PBM, Xwd, Sun, Alias, Targa, HDF, and sim they can be displayed on the IRIS screen, converted to SGI or TIFF storage formats, or converted to an Encapsulated PostScript page description (rgb or grayscale). There's even a few manual pages. For reasons of fear and loathing the utilities are available only for the SGI platform and only as executables. ---------- David Laur It is absurd to divide people Princeton University into good and bad; people are Interactive Computer Graphics Lab either charming or tedious. dmlaur@princeton.edu - Oscar Wilde
