114.0. "Sixel and GKS on Decwindow" by CADSE::NOTT () Thu Feb 02 1989 16:51

    I am looking for methods to display sixel images and GKS metafile
    on a DECwindow window. Probably not found the right document to
    read to have any clues of how to do it. But i am sure that it is
    possible. 
    
    	Any lead in terms of  references will be appreciated or useful
    examples if somebody else has been working on a similar problem.

114.1Sixels on DECtermUBEAUT::LUKRoger Luk, SWS AustraliaThu Feb 02 1989 21:438
    Sixel images can be displayed in a DECterm window, which is
    VT3xx compatible.  Just TYPE out the sixel file.

    I'm not sure about GKS, but v4.0 supports DECwindows (I think)...

114.2sixel and GKS on created windowCADSE::NOTTFri Feb 03 1989 08:4512
    I know that sixel images can be displayed on a DECterm, what i am
    looking for is to convert to sixel protocol to the bitmap, so that
    it can be displayed on a window i create in my application and not
    the DECterm itself, which is used by the application for a different
    purpose like text etc.
                                                           
    I would like some leads on displaying sixel & GKS metafile on the
    a window created and not on a DECterm.

114.3Try VAXimage App ServicesVIA::BAZEMOREBarbara b.Fri Feb 03 1989 15:395
    You can use VAXimage Application Services (VAS, previously VIS,
    ISL) to convert a sixel image to an X bitmap then throw it up in
    a window.  Check out the Image_Services conference on node Edwin.
    (KP7 and all that)

114.4Oops...NOBOZO::WEBERSat Feb 04 1989 12:346
    VAS will go bitmap => sixel, but not sixel => bitmap. In the scheme of
    things, sixel data is considered "final form", so cannot be "imported"
    for image processing.

    Why not ask the DECterm people?  I have code that does it for UIS
    in MACRO, but they should have a earlier "C" version modified for
    DECwindows.
