Ubuntu Manpage: xview - xview toolkit information

NAME

       xview - xview toolkit information

SYNOPSIS

       There  is  no  xview  command  per  se,  but  this manual page will briefly describe XView
       features and functions.

AVAILABILITY

       XView is available with the OpenWindows distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for Workstations)  is  an  Open
       Look  user-interface  toolkit  which  supports  development of interactive, graphics-based
       applications running under the X Window System.  For detailed information  see  the  XView
       Programming Manual and the XView Reference Manual.

USAGE

Compiling XView Programs
XView programs are compiled with the following command line:

cc sourcefile.c -o outputfile -lxview -lolgx -lX11

Generic XView Functions
xv_init() Establishes the connection to the server, initializes the Notifier and the
Defaults/Resource-Manager database, loads the Server Resource-Manager
database, reads any passed attributes, and installs a default X11
Errorhandler.

Xv_Server
xv_init(attrs)
<attribute-value list> attrs;

Note: attrs is a NULL terminated attribute-value list.

xv_create() Creates an object.

Xv_object
xv_create(owner, package, attrs)
Xv_object owner;
Xv_pkg package;
<attribute-value list> attrs;

xv_destroy() Destroys an object.

int
xv_destroy(object)
Xv_opaque object;

xv_find() Finds an object that meets certain criteria; or if the object doesn't
exist, creates it (default behavior which can be defeated using
XV_AUTO_CREATE, FALSE).

Xv_opaque
xv_find(owner, package, attrs)
Xv_object owner;
Xv_pkg package;
<attribute-value list> attrs;

xv_get() Gets the value of a single attribute.

Xv_opaque
xv_get(object, attrs)
Xv_object object;
<attribute-value list> attrs;

xv_set() Sets the value of one or more attributes.

Xv_opaque
xv_set(object, attrs)
Xv_object object;
<attribute-value list> attrs;

Internationalized Support
XView now has support for internationalization. This includes locale setting, localized
text handling, and dynamic object layout. See the XView Programming Manual for details.

Command Line Resource Arguments
XView-based applications display characteristics can be controlled by supplying command
line arguments to the applications at start-up. The usage is as follows:

% program -argument1 value1 -argument2 value2...

In the tables below, Argument(s) shows the short argument followed by the long argument—
either can be used. Type describes the type of value the arguments can receive. Resource
describes the X resource name modified by the arguments. Default is the default value.
Description describes what the arguments do. Example shows an example of a command using
the argument.

Argument(s): -Wx, or -scale
Type: string ("small", "medium", "large", "extra_large")
Resource: Window.Scale
Default: medium
Description: Sets the initial scale of the application (larger or smaller). small is 10
pixels, medium is 12 pixels, large is 14 pixels and extra_Large is 19
pixels. The font.name resource will override the scale.
Example: cmdtool -scale extra_large

Argument(s): -Wt, -fn, or -font
Type: string
Resource: Font.Name
Default: lucidasans-12
Description: Sets the name of the font used for the application. Does not set the font
for frame header and frame menu header. These are controlled by the window
manager. To find out what fonts are available, use the xlsfonts(1)
command. If the font you specify cannot be found, you will see an error
message such as:

XView warning: Cannot load font 'galant-24' (Font package)
XView warning: Attempting to load font '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-
sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' instead (Font package)

Example: cmdtool -fn fixed

Argument(s): -Ws, or -size
Type: integer integer
Resource: Window.Width and Window.Height
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets the width and height of the application's base frame. The values are
in pixels.
Example: cmdtool -Ws 400 500

Argument(s): -Ww, or -width
Type: int (number of columns)
Resource: window.columns
Default: None
Description: Specifies the width, in columns, of the application.
Example: cmdtool -width 40
(starts a command tool 40 columns wide)

Argument(s): -Wh, or -height
Type: int (number of columns)
Resource: window.rows
Default: None
Description: Specifies the height, in rows, of the application.
Example: cmdtool -height 40
(starts a command tool 40 rows high)

Argument(s): -Wp, or -position
Type: integer integer
Resource: Window.X and Window.Y
Default: depends on window manager
Description: Sets the initial position of the application's base frame in pixels. The
upper left corner of the screen is at position (0,0), with the x-axis
increasing to the left, and the y-axis increasing downward. These values
will also be generated by the "Save Workspace" option on the root menu into
the $HOME/.openwin-init file when using the Open Look Window Manager.
Example: cmdtool -Wp 100 200

Argument(s): -WG, or -geometry
Type: string of the format <width>x<height>{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>
Resource: Window.Geometry
Default: depends on application and window manager
Description: This sets both the size and the placement of the application's base frame.
This option has priority over the -size and -position arguments. The size
and placement parts of the value are optional. You can set just the size,
just the position, or both. The size values are measured in pixels, and
the position values use the same semantics as -position. However, if you
use the '-' in front of an X value, it will be taken as relative to the
right hand side of the screen, instead of the left. Likewise, if you use
the '-' with the Y value, it will be taken relative to the bottom of the
screen instead of the top.
Examples:
cmdtool -geometry 500x600
(will make the base frame 500x600 pixels, with the position set by the
window manager)
cmdtool -WG +10+20
(will make the base frame of default size with the left hand side of the
frame 10 pixels from the left hand side of the screen, and the top of the
frame 20 pixels from the top of the screen)
cmdtool -WG -10+20
(will make the base frame of default size with the right hand side of the
frame 10 pixels from the right hand side of the screen, and the top of the
frame 20 pixels from the top of the screen)
cmdtool -geometry 400x300-0-0
(will make the base frame 400x300 pixels with the right hand side of the
frame flush against the right hand side of the screen, and the bottom of
the frame flush with the bottom of the screen)

Argument(s): -WP, -icon_position
Type: integer integer
Resource: Icon.X Icon.Y
Default: depends on window manager
Description: Sets the position of the application's icon in pixels. Uses the same
semantics as -position for base frames.
Example: cmdtool -WP 400 20

Argument(s): -Wl, -label, or -title
Type: string
Resource: Window.Header
Default: N/A
Description: Sets a default label for the base frame's header. However, the application
can overwrite this setting and display its own header.
Example: cmdtool -Wl "Header Text"

Argument(s): -Wi, and +Wi
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.Iconic
Default: +Wi
Description: Controls how an application will come up, open or closed (iconified).
Examples: cmdtool +Wi (will make the cmdtool come up open)
cmdtool -Wi (will make the cmdtool come up closed)

Argument(s): -depth
Type: integer
Resource: Window.Depth
Default: Depth of server's default visual
Description: Specifies the depth of base frame. If this depth is not supported by the
server, the default depth will be used instead. If this is specified in
conjunction with -visual, then the exact visual will be used.
Example: cmdtool -depth 4

Argument(s): -visual
Type: string (one of the values: StaticGray, GrayScale, StaticColor, PseudoColor,
TrueColor, or DirectColor).
Resource: Window.Visual
Default: Server's default visual
Description: Specifies the visual class of the base frame. If this visual class is not
supported by the server, the default visual class will be used instead. If
this is specified in conjunction with -depth, then the exact visual will be
used.
Example: cmdtool -visual StaticGray

Argument(s): -Wf, or -foreground_color
Type: integer integer integer
Resource: Window.Color.Foreground
Default: 0 0 0
Description See Description in -Wb below.

Argument(s): -Wb, or -background
Type: integer integer integer
Resource: Window.Color.Background
Default: 255 255 255
Description: These options allow the user to specify the foreground color (e.g., the
color of the text in a textsw), or the background color (e.g., the color
that the text is painted on) of an application. The three values should be
integers between 0 and 255. They specify the amount of red, green and blue
that is in the color. See -fg and -bg below for information on similar
functions.
Example: cmdtool -Wf 0 0 255 -Wb 100 100 100
(would come up with a blue foreground, with a gray background)

Argument(s): -fg, or -foreground
Type: string (color name, or hexadecimal color specification)
Resource: Window.Color.Foreground
Default: black
Description: See Description in -bg below.

Argument(s): -bg, or -background
Type: string (color name, or hexadecimal color specification)
Resource: Window.Color.Background
Default: white
Description: These options are similar to the -Wf and -Wb options, except that they take
a color argument in the form of a predefined color name (lavender, grey,
goldenrod, etc.) from $OPENWINHOME/lib/rbg.txt, or a hexadecimal
representation. The hexadecimal representation is of the form pound sign
(#) followed by the hexadecimal representation of the red, green and blue
aspects of the color.
Examples: cmdtool -fg blue -bg gray
(comes up with a blue foreground, with a gray background)
cmdtool -fg #d800ff -bg white
(comes up with a purple foreground, with a white background)

Argument(s): -WI, or -icon_image
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Pixmap
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets the default filename for the icon's image. However, the application
can overwrite this setting and display its own icon image. The file must
be in XView icon format. The program iconedit(1) will allow one to create
an image in the icon format. Several icons have been provided in the
directory $OPENWINHOME/include/images. By convention, icon format files
end with the suffix .icon.
Example: cmdtool -WI /usr/include/images/stop.icon

Argument(s): -WL, or -icon_label
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Footer
Default: depends on application
Description: Sets a default label for the base frame's icon. However, the application
can overwrite this setting and display its own icon label.
Example: cmdtool -WL "Icon Label"

Argument(s): -WT, or -icon_font
Type: string
Resource: Icon.Font.Name
Default: depends
Description: Sets the name of the font used for the application's icon.
Example: cmdtool -WT '*century schoolbook*'

Argument(s): -Wd, or -default
Type: string string
Resource: given by the first string
Default: none
Description: This option allows the user to set resources that don't have command line
equivalents. The format is -default resource-name value . The XView
resources without specific command line arguments are discussed in the
following section.
Example: cmdtool -default OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement left

Argument(s): -xrm
Type: string
Resource: given in the string
Default: none
Description: This option allows the user to set resources that don't have command line
equivalents. This is similar to the -default option, but it takes only one
argument, a string in the form of resource-name:value.
Example: cmdtool -xrm OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement:right

Argument(s): -WH, or -help
Type: none
Resource: none
Default: none
Description: Prints a description of the valid xview command line arguments for the
application.

Argument(s): -sync or -synchronous, and +sync or +synchronous
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.Synchronous
Default: +synchronous
Description: These options allow you to make the connection that the application has
with the X11 server either synchronous (-sync) or asynchronous (+sync).

Argument(s): -Wr, or -display
Type: string (host:display{.screen})
Resource: Server.Name
Default: taken from the DISPLAY environment variable
Description: Sets the name of the X11 server on which to connect. host is the name or
address of the machine on whose server you have permission to display.
display is a number corresponding to the server on which to display for
that machine, and screen corresponds to which screen for the server. See
reference manual page on xhost(1) for more details on adding to permissions
list.
Examples: cmdtool -display foobar:0
(will bring up a cmdtool on the default screen of the display #0 of host
foobar)
cmdtool -display foobar:0.1
(will bring up a cmdtool on screen #1 of display #0 of host foobar)

Argument(s): -Wdxio, or -disable_xio_error_handler
Type: boolean
Resource: none
Default: enable xio handler—this option disables it
Description: This option is useful for debugging an application. Whenever there is a
fatal XIO error, the server will print an error message before exiting.
XView installs a error handler to keep those messages from appearing. If
you would like to see these messages, use this option.

Argument(s) -rv (or -reverse), and +rv (or +reverse)
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.ReverseVideo
Default: False
Description: These options control whether the foreground and background colors of the
application will be reversed. If True, the foreground and background
colors will be swapped. The -rv flag will set this to True, while the +rv
will set it to False. This is really only useful on monochrome displays.

Argument(s): -name
Type: string
Resource: None
Default: argv[0]
Description: Specifies the instance name of the application. This name is used to
construct the resource name used to perform lookups in the X11 Resource
Manager to look for the values of customizable attributes.

Internationalized Command Line Resource Arguments
The following command line arguments are relevant to internationalization. Locale refers
to the language and cultural conventions used in a program. Locale setting is the method
by which the language and cultural environment of a system is set. Locale setting affects
the display and manipulation of language-dependent features.

The internationalization features that XView now supports include locale setting. One of
the ways locale can be set is with command line options. See the XView Programming Manual
for details on other methods.

Argument(s): -lc_basiclocale
Type: string
Resource: basicLocale
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the basic locale category, which sets the country of the user
interface.

Argument(s): -lc_displaylang
Type: string
Resource: displayLang
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the display language locale category, sets the language in which
labels, messages, menu items, and help text are displayed.

Argument(s): -lc_inputlang
Type: string
Resource: inputLang
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the input language locale category, sets the language used for
keyboard input.

Argument(s): -lc_numeric
Type: string
Resource: numeric
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the numeric locale category, which defines the language used to
format numeric quantities.

Argument(s): -lc_timeformat
Type: string
Resource: timeFormat
Default: "C"
Description: Specifies the time format locale category, which defines the language used
to format time and date.

Command Line Options/X Resources for Debugging
The following switches/resources can be used during development to avoid the locking up of
screens or other effects of X grabs that are done by XView.

It should be noted that these options/resources should only be used by developers and are
not for normal usage. The X grabs are done for a specific reason, and are not meant to be
customizable. Without the X grabs, certain features in XView (those that depend on X
grabs) might not function properly.

Argument(s): -Wfsdb, or -fullscreendebug
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debug
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables fullscreen debugging mode during which X grabs
(XGrabServer(), XGrabKeyboard(), XGrabPointer()) are not done. When using
the fullscreen pkg, the X11 server will be grabbed which prevents other
windows on the server from responding until the grab has been released by
the one window which initiated the grab. Refer to Appendix F in the XView
Manual: Converting SunView Applications for further details.

Argument(s): -Wfsdbs, or -fullscreendebugserver
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugserver
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables server grabbing (XGrabServer()) that is done via the
fullscreen pkg. Refer to the Appendix F in the XView Manual: Converting
SunView Applications for further details.

Argument(s): -Wfsdbk, or -fullscreendebugkbd
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugkbd
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables keyboard grabbing (XGrabKeyboard()) that is done via the
fullscreen pkg. Refer to the Appendix F in the XView Manual: Converting
SunView Applications for further details.

Argument(s): -Wfsdbp, or -fullscreendebugptr
Type: boolean
Resource: Fullscreen.Debugptr
Default: FALSE
Description: Enables/disables pointer grabbing (XGrabPointer()) that is done via the
fullscreen pkg. Refer to the Appendix F in the XView Manual: Converting
SunView Applications for further details.

Argument(s): -Wdpgs, or -disable_pass_grab_select
Type: boolean
Resource: Window.PassiveGrab.Select
Default: TRUE
Description: Disables the passive grab that is done on the SELECT button. XView does a
passive grab on the SELECT button to avoid input focus race conditions.
When this passive grab is disabled, input focus race conditions may be
seen.
Example: % cmdtool -disable_pass_grab_select
This executes a cmdtool that does not perform any passive grabs on the
SELECT button. To do the same thing using X resources, add the following
entry to the X resource database:
Window.PassiveGrab.Select:False

.Xdefaults File
The .Xdefaults file is used to store and retrieve resource settings. We recommend,
however, that you use the command line arguments described above in order to change
display characteristics. Changing the resources in the .Xdefaults file will modify the
behaviour of the user's session. Novice users should not casually hand modify these
settings. Before attempting edits to this file please read the appropriate sections of the
Xlib Programming Manual on the file format and the specific properties you intend to
change.

Note that resources documented below do not have command line arguments. It is still
possible, however, to change them without altering the .Xdefaults file. Refer to the
command line arguments -xrm and -defaults for instructions on how to to this. Additional
resources that have command line arguments are documented in the previous section. For
mouseless resources refer to the XView Programming Manual.

The resources are documented in the following format:

Resource: Resource Name ( If the resource can be modified by the OpenWindows Property
Sheet, the word Props will be present.)
Values: Possible Values, and/or Format of Values to be Assigned to Resource
(Default Value)
Description Description of Resource.

Resource: window.synchronous, +sync -sync
Values: True, False (False)
Description Useful when debugging or tracking down a problem since the error codes
emitted from Xlib will correspond to the immediate request made. Running
in a synchronous mode will cause the application to run significantly
slower.

Resource: mouse.modifier.button2
Values: Shift, Ctrl, any valid modifier keysym (Shift)
Description When using a mouse with less than three buttons, this resource gets an
equivalent mapping for the second button which is the ADJUST button on a
three button mouse. For more information on keysyms, see the xmodmap(1)
reference manual page, Xlib documentation, and the include file
$OPENWINHOME/include/X11/Xkeymap.h.

Resource: mouse.modifier.button3
Values: Shift, Ctrl, any valid modifier keysym (Ctrl)
Description When using a mouse with less than three buttons, this resource gets an
equivalent mapping for the third button which is the MENU button on a three
button mouse. For more information on keysyms, see the xmodmap reference
manual page, Xlib documentation, and the include file
$OPENWINHOME/include/X11/Xkeymap.h.

Resource: OpenWindows.beep (Props)
Values: never, notices, always (always)
Description When the value is notices, the audible bell will ring only when a notice
pops up. When the value is never, the audible bell will never ring. When
the value is always, the audible bell will always ring when the bell
function is called by a program.

Resource: alarm.visible
Values: True, False (True)
Description When ringing the bell in an XView program, flash the window as well to
alert the user.

OpenWindows.windowColor (Props)
Values: any valid X11 color specification (#cccccc—80% grey)
Description Specify the base color for control areas for 3-D look. Takes hexadecimal
representation. Three other colors used for shading and highlighting are
calculated based upon the value of the specified control color. The actual
calculated values are done by the OLGX library to provide a consistent
color calculation between XView and OLWM. The desktop properties program
allows a full range of customization and previews what the chosen 3-D look
will look like. Does not apply to monochrome displays.

Resource: OpenWindows.workspaceColor (Props)
Values: any valid X11 color specification (#cccccc—80% grey)
Description Specifies the color for the root window and the background color for icons
that blend into the desktop.

Resource: xview.icccmcompliant
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, tells XView to set window manager hints in a way that was used
before the ICCCM was adopted. Useful for window managers that were
released before X11R4. Not needed with the Open Look Window Manager
provided with Open Windows.

Resource: OpenWindows.3DLook.Color
Values: True, False (True on all but monochrome screens)
Description When False, do not use the 3-D look on a color or greyscale screen.

Resource: OpenWindows.dragRightDistance (Props)
Values: N (100)
Description Used by menus to determine when a pullright submenu would display when
dragging over the menu item near a submenu. N is an integer greater than
0. A reasonable value might start at 20 and go to 200 or so. May need to
try different values to see what feels best to each person.

Resource: Selection.Timeout
Values: N (3)
Description: Selection timeout value. N indicates the number of seconds that a
requestor or a selection owner waits for a response.

Resource: OpenWindows.GotoMenu.RecentCount
Values: integer between 0 and 15 (8)
Description: Specifies the number of recently visited directories shown in the Go To
Menu of a File Chooser.

Resource: OpenWindows.GotoMenu.UserDirs
Values: string-list (NULL)
Description: new-line (0 separated list of full-path names to directories that is added
to the top of the Go To Menu of a File Chooser.

Resource: OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.*
Description: These resources determine mouseless semantic action and its corresponding
key binding. Refer to the XView Reference Manual for a complete listing and
explanation of the OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.* resources. Refer to the
XView Programming Manual for information on the mouseless model.

Resource: OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands
Values: SunView1, Basic, or Full
Description: Controls the level of mouseless operation. All of the
OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand resource mappings may be modified by users, or
by specifying one the the three values for OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands.
For detailed information see the XView Programming Manual

Resource: OpenWindows.MenuAccelerators
Values: True or False (True)
Description: Specifies whether or not to activate all keyboard menu acceleration defined
by applications. Menu accelerators are keystrokes that can be used to
invoke menu commands directly. They can be seen on the right side of
frequently used menu items as a set of keyboard qualifiers (with a
graphical diamond mark representing the meta key) and an accelerator key.

Resource: OpenWindows.MouseChordMenu
Values: True, False (False)
Description: Turns on the mouse chording mechanism. Mouse chording was implemented to
allow XView to work with two-button mice. Pressing the SELECT and the
ADJUST buttons at the same time will act as MENU button.

Resource: OpenWindows.MouseChordTimeout
Values: N (100)
Description: Mouse chording time-out value. N is in micro-seconds.

Resource: OpenWindows.SelectDisplaysMenu (Props)
Values: True, False (False)
Description When True, the SELECT button (usually left mouse) will display the menu as
well as the MENU button (usually right mouse).

Resource: OpenWindows.popupJumpCursor (Props)
Values: True, False (False)
Description When False, do not warp the mouse to the notice when it appears.

Resource: notice.beepCount
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer to specify how many times to ring the bell when a
notice appears.

Resource: OpenWindows.scrollbarPlacement (Props)
Values: Left, Right (Right)
Description When set to Left, put all scrollbars on the lefthand side of the window or
object.

Resource: OpenWindows.multiClickTimeout (Props)
Values: N (4)
Description Where N is an integer greater than 2. Set the number of tenths of a second
between clicks for a multi-click. A click is button-down, button-up pair.

Resource: text.delimiterChars
Values: string (' \011!\"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~')
Description This resource allows the user to select the delimiter characters that are
used when doing word level selections in the XView package. It was added
because of the needs of the international marketplace, and it allows the
user to define the local delimiters for the character set that is being
used with the current keyboard and Sun workstation.

Note that the octal characters can be scrambled by Xrm during a rewrite of
the value of text.delimiter.Chars. Xrm interprets the text.delimiterChar
string when it is loaded. Specifically it will decode the backslashed
portions of the string and convert them to octal representations. When
this is passed to the client application, the logic will function
correctly. However, this misbehavior of Xrm causes the string to be stored
incorrectly if the user saves the .Xdefaults file using the Xrm content of
the string. The specific problem(s) that occur are the stripping of the
backslash characters and the expansion of the tab character (\011).

To correct this problem, one can put the text.delimiterChar entry into an
.Xdefaults file that will not be overwritten when saving the workspace
properties (for example, a system wide defaults file). Or a copy of the
text.delimiterChar entry can be inserted after .Xdefaults file saves.

Resource: scrollbar.jumpCursor (Props)
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, the scrollbar will not move the mouse pointer when scrolling.

Resource: scrollbar.repeatDelay
Values: N (100)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 2. Specifies the time in milliseconds
when a click becomes a repeated action.

Resource: scrollbar.pageInterval
Values: N (100)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 2. Specifies the time in milliseconds
between repeats of a single page scroll.

Resource: scrollbar.lineInterval
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is some integer greater than 0. Specifies the time in milliseconds
between repeats of a single line scroll. How long to pause scrolling when
holding down the SELECT button on the scrollbar elevator. Scrollbar sets
up a timer routine for repeats.

Resource: text.maxDocumentSize
Values: N (2000)
Description Where N specifies the bytes used in memory before a text file is saved to a
file on disk. Once this limit is exceeded, the text package will send a
notice to the user to tell them that no more insertions are possible. If
the file being edited is saved to a file, or it is a disk file being
edited, then the limit does not apply.

Resource: text.retained
Values: True, False (False)
Description If True, retain text windows with server backing store.

Resource: text.extrasMenuFilename
Values: filename (/usr/lib/.text_extras_menu)
Description Where filename is an absolute location to a file. Can also be set via
environment variable EXTRASMENU. This file is used for the text package's
Extras menu. The commands specified in the extras menu are applied to the
contents of the current selection in the textsw window and then it inserts
the results at the current insertion point.

Resource: text.enableScrollbar
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, do not put a scrollbar on textsw objects.

Resource: text.againLimit
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer between 0 and 500. Number of operations the "again
history" remembers for a textsw.

Resource: text.autoIndent
Values: True, False (False)
Description When True, begin the next line at the same indentation as the previous line
as typing in text.

Resource: text.autoScrollBy
Values: N (1)
Description Where N is an integer between 0 and 100. Specifies the number of lines to
scroll when type-in moves insertion point below the view.

Resource: text.confirmOverwrite
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, do not give user confirmation if a save will overwrite an
existing file.

Resource: text.displayControlChars
Values: True, False (True)
Description When False, use an up arrow plus a letter to display the control character
instead of the character that is available for the current font.

Resource: Text.DeleteReplacesClipboard
Values: True, False (False)
Description This resource controls whether text that has been selected and then deleted
by the delete key or replaced by any other keystroke will be copied to the
clipboard. If the value is True, then the selected text will be copied to
the clipboard. If the value is False, then the text selected does not
replace the clipboard.

This resource also applies to the text selected for the filter function.
If the resource is True, then the text selected for a filter function will
replace the clipboard when the filter successfully finishes. If the
resource is False, then the text selected does not replace the clipboard.

Resource: text.undoLimit
Values: N (50 maximum of 500)
Description Where N is an integer between 0 and 500. How many operations to save in
the undo history log. These operations will be undone when you press the
"Undo" key in the text window.

Resource: Text.LineSpacing
Values: N (0)
Description Where N is an integer which is the percentage of the maximum height of a
character in the Textsw window font to use as interline spacing. Setting
Text.LineSpacing to a nonzero positive number will increase the size of a
Textsw proportionally. xv_set() of WIN_ROWS will still yield the correct
number of rows. However, the window will be taller as compared to a Textsw
with Text.LineSpacing set to 0. This resource allows XView to conform to
TUV requirements. To meet TUV requirements, set Text.LineSpacing to 15 or
greater.
