For those who do not already know, Tektronix, Inc. has produced a
version of the TekColor(TM) Editor based on the Athena Widget Set
commonly known by its compiled name xtici (pronounced like
xtike or ecstasy) and would like to announce the release of the
source code for use in the X Window System. This source code has a
restrictive copyright and will not be included on the X11
Release 5 contrib software tape.
What is xtici?
-------------
Xtici is an X Window Systems client that is based on the Xcms
enhancement in X11R5 and the TekColor(TM) Human Interface. The
TekColor Human Interface is part of the TekColor Color Management
System which is licensed by Tektronix, Inc. The Xcms API Specification
and implementation is available through the MIT X Consortium.
Xtici provides users with tools to specify, define, edit and manipulate
colors using the TekHVC(TM) color space. This interface is practical and
easy to use. The X Window System version is ICCCM compliant. Xtici
should provide users with new functionality in color management within
the X Window System. A similar system has proved very useful in the
Macintosh environment.
Finally, xtici is a sample client and as such shows how Xcms can be
used for color manipulation. It can be used as an example of how
Xcms can be used by software developers. It can also show how the
client-server model can be used to increase software productivity by making
a clean break between color selection and color usage.
What xtici is not?
------------------
xtici is not the ultimate color editor. It is merely a demonstration
of some of the capabilities that a color editor could have. Further
work on color editors has been left up to the you.
What is is included?
--------------------
There is a reference manual included in postscript format. If you
would like a hardcopy please send your name and address to
the name and address given below.
The complete source code with the needed Imakefiles is included along
with a set of sample resources (xtici.ad). The Widget.Hierarchy
file presents the widgets and their names.
Building xtici:
---------------
In order to build xtici you will need X11R5 Xlib, Xt and Xaw. The
Imakefiles have been tested on SUN and Tektronix workstations. Xtici
has been successfully built on SUN and Tektronix workstations. It
has also been run on Tektronix X Terminals. Any changes needed for
compilation in a particular environment can be made per the
copyright statement.
More information and bug reports:
---------------------------------
You can direct questions, comments, and bug reports to the name given
below. As changes are made, they will be sent to the appropriate news
group(s). General discussions about X and color within the X Window
System should be sent to either xpert@expo.lcs.mit.edu or comp.windows.x.
