Hi, a couple of queries. 1) I need to do a bit of basic graphics in an XmDrawingArea widget e.g. scatter plots with labelled and numbered axes. Can anyone point me to a set of recipes for such things using the X Primitives, since speed is important... I would prefer not to have to re invent the wheel. None of our currently available plotting packages have X-drivers, so it is no good suggesting GKS / PEX etc. 2) I have recently started working on a colour VAXStation 3100 using VMS (5.3 at present) and have so far not managed to successfully customise my Motif icons. If anyone has successfully done this in a similar environment please email me an example, I have spent too long on this already! UNIX people please ignore... UNIX based recipes don't work, I've tried them. I have managed to ascertain that part of the problem arises from reserved characters under VMS, but nothing I have tried has produced anything other than the default icon pixmap. I would particularly appreciate info on allowed icon sizes under Motif, and how to allow for the depth of 8 for the color screen. This is probably a factor since the standard DECWindows widgets' icons have also lost their pixmaps. Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance... Carolyn Allen Please E_mail any replies. ************************************************************************* * Snailmail: * E_Mail * * * CBS%UK.AC.NERC-MURCHISON.VAXA::E_CMA * * Dr C.M.Allen * JANET: e_cma@uk.ac.nmh.va * * British Geological Survey * * * Murchison House * * * West Mains Road * * * * * * Edinburgh * Tel: 031-667-1000 x277 from U.K. * * Scotland * * * EH9,3LA * * *************************************************************************
