3399.0. "DDIF viewer resources?" by KONING::KONING (NI1D @FN42eq) Wed Sep 26 1990 14:55

I'm now running VMS V5.4 rather than V5.3, and noticed that the DDIF Viewer
now understands my "global" Background and Foreground color settings.  Sounds
good... except that I'm using light text on dark background.  My eyes
like that for text, but if you view an image that way, it looks like a 
negative.

Could someone tell me what resource names I would use to get "dark on light"
back again for the DDIF viewer's main window?  I tried the UWS documentation,
but that didn't have anything to say about it either.

3399.1Try something similar to the followingDDIF::MUNYANSteve Munyan, ZK2-2/O23, DTN 381-2264Tue Oct 09 1990 01:2332
    
    Try creating a DDIF$VIEW.DAT resource file and reverse the values for 
    foreground and background.
    
    Here's a copy of one of the test files we use in the group to make sure
    that various resources work properly.  I've commented out most of the
    ones you wouldn't want to set normally:
    
*foreground: black
*background: white
!Viewer.width: 491
!Viewer.height: 276
!Viewer.x:	110
!Viewer.y:	110
!Viewer*DVRpaperWidth: 300
!Viewer*DVRpaperHeight: 500
!*initialState: 3
!*DVRbuttonBox: false
*DVRscrollHorizontal: false
*DVRscrollVertical: false
!*DVRuseComments: false
!*DVRuseBitmaps: true
!*DVRuseTrays: true
Viewer*DVRwatchProgress: true
!*DVRheaderRequired: false
    
    Note the resource names list here are undocumented and are subject to
    change without notice.

That does what I asked for.  It also causes the viewer to croak when you ask
it to view a color DDIF image!

3399.4A change to the resource file I posted earlierEVETPU::MUNYANSteve Munyan, ZK2-2/O23, DTN 381-2264Mon Oct 15 1990 16:529
You most likely want to set the horizontal and vertical resources to true.
Failure to do so could cause the problem you're seeing since the image could
be located in the bottom left hand corner of the display (ie: at the origin).


*DVRscrollHorizontal: true
*DVRscrollVertical: true
