Using UWS 2.2 with DPS extensions. I have been able to influence most of the characteristics of the PostScript viewer with resources described (or implied) in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/DPSViewer. But I haven't been able to change the fore/background colors of the displayed document, they are always black on white. Also, I'd like to have the viewer come up with a 1.3 scale factor. Can anyone help with the resource specifications for those two? What I'm using now is listed below, including one of my many attempts at setting the colors. DPSViewer*background: black DPSViewer*foreground: wheat DPSViewer*highlight: light blue DPSViewer.geometry: 884x835+129+20 DPSViewer.pixmapCacheSize: 2 DPSViewer.fileNamePrefix: ~/scratch/ DPSViewer*optionsMenu.comments.value: False DPSViewer*optionsMenu.windowDrawMode.value: True DPSViewer*Scrollw.forceBars: off

You can't change the colors from a resource. Only from the PostScript file. Suppose you changed the background to beige rather than white. Then a .ps program wanted to clear an area to background. Guess how it does that... it sets everything to white. So there is a logical inconsistency here...you can't do it. I quick look at the code shows that the scale is initialized to 1.0. It does not look at resources. Burns | |||||

Thanks for checking, Burns. | |||||
| 2822.3 | How can I watch the progress? | FROTHY::TATLOW | The Question | Wed Oct 17 1990 20:47 | 12 |
I haven't been able to set the startup windowDrawMode. I'd like it to
come up watching the progress of the drawing, but I can't seem to
figure out the resource name.
DPSViewer*optionsMenu.windowDrawMode.value: True
doesn't do it.
Any ideas?
T?
