Xwpick 2.20 (Rev: 20/09/94) =========================== Change: The bar interaction has been removed from the default behaviour of the program; now if you want to have a pause after the window (or rectangular area) has been selected you should use a '-pause' option. Added Feature: '-pause' waits click of the bar; this option gives to the user a possibility to change the selected image just before outputing to a file; Added Feature: '-format' allows to choose the output format without regards to the extention in the file name; when '-format' is in the parameter list and the output file name is omitted, the output is directed to stdout, thus it's now possibile to use xwpick in different bindings, e.g. xwpick -format ps -window root | lpr Enhancement: In previous versions although the program asked to press the bar to start the grabbing process, it responded on pressing of any key. Now the trigger key is restricted exactly to the bar. This allows to display popup menus which appear on the screen only when pressing the Control-Key (or some other keys) together with the mouse button, e.g. the VT options popup menu of xterm. Xwpick 2.10 (Rev: 15/08/94) =========================== Change: Program name has been changed to 'xwpick' to avoid a conflict with 'xpick' by Gerry Tomlinson, which is "...an X11 Athena Widget implementation of pick, from "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike..." Bug Fix: Sometimes 'xpick' produced wrong PostScript files for large windows with a lot of space of the same color. The reason: ClearCode in LZW encoding always was output as a 12 bits code. Change: Option '-' has been changed to '-local'. Added Feature: '-window id' selects window by id number. Added Feature: '-gray' tranfers image to gray scale. It can be used to optimize output on level 1 PostScript printers. On level 2 PostScript printers practically there is no difference in rendering time between color and gray scale images. Added Feature: '-reverse' tranfers image to reverse colors. It can be used to save toner on gray scale printers in case when the image has a lot of dark space. Added Feature: On VAX/Alpha OpenVMS it is allowed to use VMS style of parameter input, e.g. xwpick/gray/window=0x8400 pict.gif (see vms_parser(...) routine in xwpick.c). Added Feature: Help file for VMS. Enhancement: During output to PostScript on gray scale (or B&W) stations it is automatically generated gray scale PS file ('image' operator is used instead of 'colorimage'). Enhancement: Additional check for existence of 'setcolorspace' operator is used to recognize on what kind (level 1 or 2) of PostScript printer the file is being output. Only in case when both 'filter' and 'setcolorspace' operators are known the level 2 LZW/ASCII85 filtes will be invoked, otherwise inline decompression code is executed.
