NAME
xforms - A GUI Toolkit for X Window Systems
SYNOPSIS
Forms Library for X (xforms) is a GUI toolkit and builder
for the X Window Systems and runs on all major UNIX plat-
forms as well as OpenVMS and OS2. Forms Library is too com-
plex to be described in the "man" page format. Ask your sys-
tem administrator for the location of the PostScript docu-
ment or follow the links on the Forms Library's home page
for an html or PostScript version of the document.
DESCRIPTION
Forms Library is a graphical user interface toolkit based on
Xlib for X Window Systems. It comes with a rich set of
objects such as buttons, browsers, sliders and menus
integrated into an elegant event/object callback execution
model that allows fast and easy construction of X applica-
tions. In addition, the library has support for image read
and write, format conversion and simple image processing.
The library consists of a flexible set of C-routines that
can be used in C and C++ programs (As of this writing, perl,
ada95, pascal, scheme and Fortran bindings to the Forms
Library are in beta.)
The library is efficient and portable and runs on all major
Unix platforms, including Sun, SGI, HP, DEC Alpha/OSF, IBM
RS6000, Convex, Cray, Linux(i386, alpha, m68k, sparc),
FreeBSD, NetBSD(i386, m68k, sparc, StrongARM, ppc), SCO,
Unixware, OpenBSD (i386, pmax), DGUX (m88k, i386), BSDi,
DecSystem(mips)/Ultrix and others. Non-unix platforms
include OpenVMS, OS/2, and Window/NT.
Bundled with the library is also a Form designer, fdesign,
which can be used to build interaction forms in a WYSIWYG
(what you see is what you get) way and to generate the
corresponding C (or any of the binding languages) code for
you. 50+ demos in source code are distributed with the
library.
OPTIONS
All programs written using the Forms Library recognize the
following command line options
-display host:dpy
specifies the server to connect to.
-bw borderwidth
specifies the border width to use for built-in
objects.
-flversion
prints the xforms version information.
-visual visualName
requests a visual by name such as TrueColor etc. By
default the Forms Library always selects the visual
that has the most depth.
-depth depth
requests a specific depth.
-debug level
generates some info about the state of the XForms.
where level is an integer between 1-5 and controls the
amount of information to output. Depending on the
options used when the Forms Library was built, a level
more than 3 might not be available.
-sync runs the application in synchronous mode with debug
level set to 4.
-private
requests a private colormap for the application.
-shared
requests a shared colormap even if the application
needs more colors than available. For those colors
that can't be allocated in the shared colormap, sub-
stitutions are made so the closest matching color is
used.
-stdcmap
requests a standard colormap.
-name newname
specifies the application name under which resources
are to be obtained, rather than the default executable
file name.
