From Dr.Volker.Zell@oracle.com Tue Nov 4 16:26:00 2003 From: Dr.Volker.Zell@oracle.com (Dr. Volker Zell) Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2003 16:26:00 -0000 Subject: New package: gv-3.5.8-1 Message-ID: <87ad7cqeym.fsf@vzell-de.de.oracle.com> The gv-3.5.8-1 package has been added to the Cygwin distribution. o http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/ Description: `gv' is a comfortable viewer of PostScript and PDF files for the X Window System. It uses the `ghostscript' PostScript(tm) interpreter and is based on the classic X front-end for `gs', `ghostview'. It is more comfortable and more powerful than `ghostview'. -- Volker Zell To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "XFree86" and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Nov 9 23:30:00 2003 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold L Hunt II) Date: Sun, 09 Nov 2003 23:30:00 -0000 Subject: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22 Message-ID: <3FAECC48.5020706@msu.edu> Announcement ============ The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. Links ===== Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/server/xwin-20031109-1622.tar.bz2 (130 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against 4.3.0-20 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/server/xwin-4.3.0-20-to-4.3.0-22.diff (17 KiB) Changes ======= 1) win.h, winkeybd.c, winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winwndproc.c - Remove winStoreModeKeyStates () function and stop storing mode key state within the hw/xwin layer. Instead, query the internal X Server mode key state, when we know that no key press/release events are pending, and send key press/release events to get that state in sync with the Windows mode key states. This removes the possibility that the hw/xwin and internal X Server mode key state vectors would get out of sync. This is also a general cleanup that utilizes more existing code and removes some Cygwin-specific code. (Takuma Murakami) 2) winwndproc.c - Catch WM_ENDSESSION message and perform clean shutdown. (Takuma Murakami) 3) winwndproc.c - WM_*KEYDOWN - Discard key presses generated from Windows auto-repeat (these sorts of auto-repeats are handled by X). (Takuma Murakami) 4) winmouse.c - Remap mouse buttons here when XFree86Server and XINPUT are defined, since this combination of flags prevents a lower layer from performing such remapping. The end result is that remapping mouse buttons works for the first time. (Takuma Murakami) 5) winconfig.c - Load the US keyboard layout for Japanese keyboards. This ensures that WM_KEYUP messages are sent for the Caps Lock key. (Takuma Murakami, Kensuke Matsuzaki) 6) win.h, winengine.c, winmultiwindowwindow.c, winmultiwindowwm.c, winpfbdd.c, winshaddd.c, winshadddnl.c, winshadgdi.c, winwindow.h - Add an engine-specific function that is called after a Windows-window is created in -multiwindow mode. This is a start for adding DirectDraw support to -multiwindow mode. However, I got a little confused here and thought that one primary surface would need to be created per window, which is not correct. There will be one primary surface with a clip list that causes blits to stay within the region of all of our visible windows. In any case, this is a step in the right direction. There code is currently disabled since the engine setting code only allows the GDI engine when -multiwindow is being used.

From j_tetazoo@hotmail.com Thu Nov 13 18:04:00 2003 From: j_tetazoo@hotmail.com (Thomas Chadwick) Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 18:04:00 -0000 Subject: New Package: x2x-1.30-1 Message-ID: Version 1.30beta of x2x has been added to the Cygwin distribution as a new package, x2x-1.30-1, and marked as a TEST release (more about that in the "installation" section below). DESCRIPTION: Allow me to quote from the x2x-1.30 man page: x2x allows the keyboard and mouse on one ("from") X display to be used to control another ("to") X display. Since x2x uses the XTEST exten- sion, the "to" X display must support XTEST. If x2x is built under Cygwin (on Windows XP or Windows 2000) then the -fromwin option may be specified to allow the "from" display to be the Windows desktop. (The Cygwin build also supports use of an X display for the "from" screen). Use of -fromwin sets the default behaviour as if the -big -west -capslockhack options had also been given. Unless the -nosel option is specified, x2x relays X selections from one display to the other. (If -fromwin is specified then the X selection is relayed to and from the Windows clipboard as text strings). TO UPDATE YOUR INSTALLATION: 1) Visit http://cygwin.com and click on the "Install Cygwin Now" link to download setup.exe to your system. 2) Run setup.exe and make you way to the "Select Packages" screen. 3) Find the "XFree86" category and expand it by clicking the "+" symbol. 4) Find the "x2x" package and click (repeatedly if necessary) in the "New" column until "1.30-1" appears. 5) Check the box(es) in the "Bin?" and/or "Src?" columns to choose the binary and/or source package(s) respectively. 6) Proceed with the install by clicking the Next button.

It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file. This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers. gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place, unless you are installing a required library in order to run an application. gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics package, but version 2.0 does include most frequently requested features, including both truecolor and palette images, resampling (smooth resizing of truecolor images) and so forth.

The software is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers (including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is easily extensible to include new devices. [ The 'GNU' in gnuplot is NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a coincidence (and a long story; see the gnuplot FAQ for details). Thus gnuplot is not covered by the Gnu copyleft, but rather by its own copyright statement, included in all source code files.] Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3 dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles, including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses (crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key. The interface includes command-line editing and history on most platforms. Enjoy!

TCM offers editors for techniques used in Structured Analysis as well as editors for object-oriented (UML) techniques. For some of the behavior specification techniques, an interface to model checkers is offered. More in particular, TCM contains the following editors. * Generic editors for generic diagrams, generic tables and generic trees. All available icons can be used and no syntactic diagram constraints are checked. * Unified Modeling Language (UML) editors for static structure (i.e. class and object) diagrams, use-case diagrams, activity diagrams, statecharts, collaboration diagrams, component diagrams and deployment diagrams. * Structured Analysis (SA) editors for entity-relationship diagrams, data and event flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, function refinement trees, transaction-use tables and function-entity type tables. * Miscellaneous editors such as for JSD (process structure and network diagrams), recursive process graphs and transaction decomposition tables. These editors are no longer updated but they will remain available within TCM. -- To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
