--------- XPRISM TOOLBOX --------------
This toolbox contains a new xprism3 program. This version of xprism3 has
a file update mechanism added.
Suppose that while you are displaying an datafile (plot) with
xprism3, the datafile being plotted is over-written. Xprism3 will
automatically register the fact that the input file has been changed,
and update the currently displayed plot accordingly. Using this argument, you can determine how often the input file is checked for any potential
modifications. It must be specified "-update floatvalue", where float-
value is a floating point value which must be greater than zero.
The cantata form will now contain 2 xprism3 glyphs, the regular xprism3 and
the new xprism3 with the file update mechanism added.
This directory contains a tar file in which is a toolbox named
"xprism", containing a new xprism3 application.
In addition to the tar file containing
the toolbox is this README. This README provides instructions for
setting up and compiling the toolbox.
First, acquire the "xprism.tar.Z" file with "binary" mode set to
TRUE on ftp. ( ftp> bin ).
Next, create a location for toolboxes if you have not already done
so. It doesn't matter where, but don't put it in $KHOROS_HOME/src.
You may want to create a $KHOROS_HOME/toolboxes, or some such location.
Move the tar file to that directory.
Next, untar the toolbox with the command:
% zcat xprism.tar.Z | tar -xfoB -
-OR-
% uncompress -c xprism.tar.Z | tar -xfoB -
TO COMPILE AND INSTALL:
INSTALLING TOOLBOX:
This is a same procedure one would for installing any toolbox
1) Use kraftsman to add the "xprism" toolbox to your Khoros Toolbox file
2) modify the {XPRISM}/repos/config/src_conf/xprism_mf file.
- substitute your user name as the KHOROS_USER on line 32.
- substitute the absolute location to the LOCAL_SRC_TOP on
line 39. Use "\pwd" in the toolbox/src directory to
get the absolute path, and replace the existing path
with this new path.
3) cd {top dir}/src
4) make Makefile Makefiles
5) make install
You may want to copy the new xprism3 binary into your KHOROS_HOME/bin
directory and access this through the regular cantata form, rather than
keeping the binary in the XPRISM toolbox bin directory. If you want
to put the xprism3 binary into your KHOROS_HOME/bin follow the
instructions below. Otherwise add {XPRISM}/bin to your path so that you
will be able to execute the new xprism3. Also, remember to run cantata
with the XPRISM/repos/cantata.form file.
INSTALLING in KHOROS_HOME
1. Compile and install xprism3 in the XPRISM toolbox. Do Not copy
this version into KHOROS_HOME/src.
2. cp XPRISM/bin/xprism3 $KHOROS_HOME/bin/xprism3
3. cp XPRISM/repos/cantata/subforms/plot.sub.khoros
$KHOROS_HOME/repos/cantata/subforms/output_plot/plot.sub
4. cp XPRISM/repos/cantata/subforms/*.pane
$KHOROS_HOME/repos/cantata/subforms/output_plot/
Execute cantata and try it out!!!!
