SCO Skunkware: Open Source Software
|
Welcome to the Skunkware 7 Graphics Viewers / Editors section.
The programs here can be used to view and edit a broad range of graphics
file formats. There is a very powerful image editor (the GIMP) and several
viewers. Most of these files require that you install the Skunkware 7
graphics libraries package.

a complete web browsing and authoring environment
Amaya is a complete web browsing and authoring environment and
comes equipped with a WYSIWYG
style of interface, similar to that of the most popular commercial
browsers. With such an interface, users do not need to know the HTML
or CSS languages.
Features of Amaya include the following:
- Amaya lets users both browse and author Web pages
Using Amaya you can create Web pages and upload them onto a
server. Authors can create a document from scratch, they can
browse the web and find the information they need, copy and paste
it to their pages, and create links to other Web sites. All this
is done in a straightforward and simple manner, and actions are
performed in a single consistent environment. Editing and browsing
functions are integrated seamlessly in a single tool.
- Amaya maintains a consistent internal document model adhering
to the DTD
Amaya always represents the document internally in a structured
way consistent with the Document Type Definition (DTD). A properly
structured document enables other tools to further process the
data safely.
Amaya allows you to display the document structure at the same
time as the formatted view, which is portrayed diagrammatically on
the screen.
- Amaya is able to work on several documents at a time
- Amaya helps authors create hypertext links
The editor helps you create and text out links to other
documents on the Web from the document you currently are working
on. You can view the links and get a feel for how the information
is interconnected.
- Amaya is easily extended.
Several APIs and mechanisms are available to change and extend
its functionality with the least modification to the source
code.

Generic Navigator Plugin
X Swallow is a plugin ive cobbled together to allow any X program to be used
as an inline viewer for any appropiate mime type. So a mime type like vrml
for which there does not exist, as of the moment, a plugin for linux netscape
can be viewed inline to netscape with ordinary vrml viewers such as
vrweb/liquid reality. Also it has all the abilities of mimeplugin by Carl
Shimer & Michael J Long on which Xswallow is based and can be therefore be
used to handle mimetypes that are handled by programs with no graphical
interface, audio formats for the most part.

ImageMagick 4.0
ImageMagick is a very powerful image viewing and animation tool.
It supports a myriad of graphics file formats, and has several useful
tools aside from the viewer. ImageMagick can animate any number of
images (depending on your system resources) and can easily create
montages of image collections. It is also possible to use ImageMagick
from within Perl scripts by using various extensions to Perl.
Due to its ongoing development, ImageMagick is the author's viewer
of choice. While XV, the ever-popular viewer, has many fine features
which ImageMagick does not, the sheer number of file formats which
ImageMagick supports makes it a more useful tool for every day usage.
The ability to convert from one graphics format to another, almost
seamlessly, further enhances the usefulness of ImageMagick.

POV-Ray - Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer
POV-Ray is a free, full-featured ray tracer, written and
maintained by a team of volunteers on the CompuServe GO GRA-
PHDEV Forum and on the Internet. On the Unix platform
POV-Ray can be either a text-mode only program, or can
optionally have preview capabilities using the X Window System.

XV 3.10a - with patches
XV is the ever-popular viewer for X11, and has a very large user
base. The only unfortunate aspect of XV is it has not been updated in
quite a long while, and therefore does not support the more modern
file formats. It doe, however, have an excellent user interface, and
has very good image enhancing algorithms. This version has had the
semi-official patches applied to enable it to work with PNG files and
the more modern JPEG and TIFF libraries. Overall, a most excellent
tool.
NOTE: XV is not free software. It is distributed under
"shareware" conditions. If you use XV regularly, you are required to
register it. John Bradley has put a great deal of effort into this
program, and it is strongly recommended that you register your
copy of XV, in order to help fund further development of this fine
program.

collection of freely available X11 fonts
This is a collection of 79 freely available fonts. All of them were found in
the CICA archives for Windows.
Some of them are missing special characters, some only contain capitals,
some contain special alphabets. Be careful and check!
The collection was motivated by the lack of good fonts for Linux especially X11
and ghostscript. Scaled bitmaps look really ugly!
The Skunkware 7 GIMP distribution uses some of these fonts as the default
fonts for Logos.

The GNU Image Manipulation Program
The GIMP is a very powerful image editing tool, styled loosely
after Adobe Photoshop(tm). It has many fine features, and many
useful filters for all kinds of image manipulation. This current
version is still a beta version, and it does have some problems,
but as soon as version 1.0 is released, the Skunkware team will
update the on-line Skunkware.

A PostScript(tm) Viewer
Ghostview is full function X11 user interface for ghostscript 2.4 and later.
Brief list of features:
- Ghostview parses any known version of Adobe's Document Structuring
Conventions.
- Page size is automatically determined from the Document Structuring
Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments.
- Window size is set to the bounding box for Encapsulated PostScript figures.
- Default page size is Letter and can be changed via Xresources or
application defaults file to A4 (or any other valid size) for our
European friends.
- Scrollbars appear when necessary.
- Page orientation is automatically determined from the Document Structuring
Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments.
- Ability to view at 4 orientations: Portrait, Landscape, Upside-down,
and Seascape (for those who rotate landscape the other direction).
- Ability to restrict rendering to grayscale or monochrome.
(Requires ghostscript 2.6.1.)
- Ability to mark pages for printing, or saving. (Good for people that
printed a 100 page document and lost page 59 due to a printer jam.)
- Can popup zoom windows at printer resolution
(1 display dot = 1 printer dot).
Ghostview was written by Tim Theisen <ghostview@cs.wisc.edu>.

An Interactive Plotting Program
Gnuplot is a command-driven interactive function plotting program.
If files are given, gnuplot loads each file with the load
command, in the order specified. Gnuplot exits after the
last file is processed.
Here are some of its features:
Plots any number of functions, built up of C operators, C
library functions, and some things C doesn't have like **,
sgn(), etc. Also support for plotting data files, to compare
actual data to theoretical curves.
User-defined X and Y ranges (optional auto-ranging), smart
axes scaling, smart tic marks.
Labelling of X and Y axes.
User-defined constants and functions.
Support through a generalized graphics driver for AED 512,

- Description
- VRweb is a freely available browser for 3D worlds and scenes modeled
in VRML (the Virtual Reality Modeling Language). It was developed by the
Institute for Information Processing and Computer Supported New Media (IICM)
of Graz University of Technology, Austria. For information about the IICM,
visit http://www.iicm.edu/.
VRweb is the only free VRML browser available in full source code which
does not require commercial packages such as Inventor or Motif and which
will run on (almost) any Unix or Windows platform.
- Productivity
- This program displays VRML 1.0 files for the user to manipulate. When
used with a web browser, such as Netscape or Mosaic, this 3D viewer allows
access to the increasing number of web sites offering virtual reality content
and to the advanced HyperWave servers (formerly known as "Hyper-G").
HyperWave servers represent the next generation web solution for publishing
rich hypermedia documents in the Internet's World Wide Web and internal
TCP/IP networks. For more information about HyperWave, visit
http://www.hyperwave.de.
- Work Planned
- None
- Documentation
- To view the VRweb User Guide, visit
http://www.iicm.edu/vrweb/help.
- Verification
- Run "vrweb-mesa filename &", where filename
is any VRML 1.0 file. If VRwave (the Java successor to VRweb)
is available, it will be invoked to view VRML 2.0 files. Both VRML 1.0 and
VRML 2.0 files have a file suffix of ".wrl". VRwave can be
obtained from SCO Skunkware. For more information on VRwave, visit
http://www.iicm.edu/vrwave.
How to get the source
Visit
http://skunkware.dev/skunkware/src/x11/viewers or
ftp://ftp.sco.com/skunkware/src/x11/viewers
to obtain a copy of the source in gzip format. To create the executable from
the source code (on SCO OpenServer 5.0.4), follow these steps:
- Install the SCO OpenServer Development System (for the X window "imake"
facility). I used version 5.1.0Ac.
- Install the Perl scripting language and the GNU Development System (for the C++ compiler). Both are available from SCO Skunkware. I used GNU 95.4c and Perl 5.003.
- Use csh (not ksh).
- Ensure that the execution search path includes the directory containing
the GNU C/C++ compilers (e.g., "/usr/progressive/bin" for the
Skunkware version) BEFORE any other compiler directories (e.g.,
"/usr/bin/" for the SCO Development System compilers).
- Execute the command: "setenv CPU SCO".
- See file INSTALLATION for an installation guide.
- The unbuilt source directory hierarchy requires about 18 Meg, and the built hierarchy requires about 50 Meg of disk space. The unstripped binary is under 5 Meg.
X-Anim - an audio / video player for X11
XAnim is a program for viewing and displaying many different animation
file formats. If you have the NAS audio drivers installed in your kernel,
XAnim will also play any music associated with the animation files.
A fine program, and an essential part of any serious X11 desktop.

along with each character's value in either decimal, hexidecimal,
or octal notation.

Mathematical Recreation Software
The mathrec package includes several X11 clients written by Dr. Ronald
Joe Record who holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of
California. Programs in the mathrec package include :
- endo - calculate and display iteratated endomorphisms of the plane
- lyap - calculate and display Lyapunov exponents of the iterated
logistic map
- stars - calculate and display a star field with controls
- coral - calculate and display a coral growth simulation
- gasket - calculate and display Serpinski gaskets
- hop - calculate and display iterated parametric equations
- julia - calculate and display Julia sets
- mandel - calculate and display Mandelbrot sets (clicking the middle
mouse button on a point in the Mandelbrot set will generate a window with the
corresponding Julia set)
- lds - calculate and display Lattice Dynamical Systems (also known
as coupled map lattices)
- madness - calculate and display various kinds of curves and stuff
- splines - calculate and display spline curves
- spore - calculate and display simulated spore growth
- xtopo - calculate and display simulated topographic maps
- xwator - calculate and display a simulation of fish and shark
population dynamics over time
Most of the programs in the mathrec package work best with an 8 bit
PseudoColor visual (i.e. 256 colors in a colormap). However, they can
be run with a TrueColor visual (some features will not be present).
Many interesting sample runs are provided as shell scripts in subdirectories
in /usr/local/mathrec. For instance, sample runs of the lyap program with
preset parameters are in the directory /usr/local/mathrec/lyap and those
for the endo program are in /usr/local/mathrec/endo.
For additional details on these programs, see
the mathrec HTML documents.

Stacey Campbell's Mandelbrot Program
stacey is an X client for exploring the Mandelbrot Set. It needs
the Motif, X toolkit and X libraries to compile. It has been
successfully compiled with the SCO X11R4, X11R5 and X11R6 development
systems, and the SCO OSF/1 Hercules/1 dev sys.
See the Makefile for more details. It runs
on 16 color and 256 color X servers with PseudoColor colormap
support. Other colormap sizes will probably work.
Select the area to be investiagated using the standard rubberband
technique of pressing down the mouse button, dragging out the
desired area, then releasing the mouse button. Stacey saves files
in xwd format. It does not read in files. It can read coordinates
from an .Xdefaults file, see the resources in mandel.c. Here's the
keyboard usage:
- 'r' - use red colormap
- 'g' - use green colormap
- 'b' - use blue colormap
- 'm' - use mono colormap
- 'c' - use colorwheel colormap [default]
- 'n' - use default colormap [cannot be rotated]
- 's' - use stripe colorwheel colormap
- 'a' - use non-green colormap
- 'R' - toggle colormap rotation
- '1'..'9' - change colormap rotation speed
- 'x' - reverse colormap rotate direction
- 'd' - dump current fractal to file "mandel.xwd"
- space - double K value (depth of calculation) [default 128]
- 'i' - toggle between generation algorithms
- 'q' - quit program
The original program was culled from _The X Window System - Programming
and Applications with Xt_, OSF/Motif Edition, by Douglas Young. It has
changed somewhat dramatically since then, but its roots are evident.
The original Mandelbrot generation code was derived from the section
"Do It Yourself" in _The Beauty of Fractals_, by H.-O. Peitgen and
P.H. Richter (see image1.c). My hack to optimize by filling areas of
like color was inspired by John Gossman's article in alt.fractals
concerning Contour Crawling (though it does not use his and Scott
Sherman's code) (see image.c). I expect their code does much better
optimizations but I couldn't get it working. The rainbow, red, green,
and blue colormap code and keyboard interface code come straight from
Hiram Clawson's color3 client, part of which was extracted from Foley
and van Dam (see mandel.c). The window dumping source is a slightly
modified xwd.c from the MIT X11R4 source distribution, originally written
by Tony Della Fera at DEC back in 1985. The colormap rotation code comes
from Dave Lemke's xrotmap client. The icon bitmap was created using
Jef Pozkanzer's pbmplus utlities. Wing Eng helped by answering my Motif
resource questions. As far as I can tell, all of the above people have
kindly allowed their source to be used in other peoples' code subject,
in places, to the usual restrictions on acknowledgments and sale.

Mgdiff - Motif-based graphical file difference browser
Mgdiff is a graphical front end to the diff command. It
permits the user to view the differences between two ASCII
files in context and, optionally, to write out a third
file which is the user-defined merging of those two files.

xearth - planet earth root window
Xearth sets the X root window to an image of the Earth, as
seen from your favorite vantage point in space, correctly
shaded for the current position of the Sun. By default,
xearth updates the displayed image every five minutes. The
time between updates can be changed with the -wait option.
Updates can be disabled completely by using the
-once option. Xearth can also render directly
into PPM and GIF files instead of drawing in the root window.

XaoS - Fast interactive real-time fractal zoomer/morpher
XaoS is a protable real-time interactive fractal
zoomer/morpher which works under X11, SVGA and
text terminals. If you don't know what fractal is or you
want to know more about XaoS features you should see the animated
tutorial. Run XaoS and press 'H' twice. It is
much more fun than reading the boring manual page :) and it
supports foreign languages. You might also read xaos.info
file for some advanced stuff (like how to write animations
and tutorials manually, port or extend XaoS, algorithms
used etc.)

XFig - an X11 figure generator
XFig is a program for drawing figures for inclusion in a variety of
UNIX based documentation systems (such as LaTeX). The Xfig package for
SCO OpenServer also contains Transfig, useful in translating
figures described in Fig code or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.
For image manipulation,
you should use The GIMP.

Transport portable LaTeX figures
Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described
in Fig code or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.
PIC files are identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can
be specified either with or without the suffix ".fig".

xpdf - an Adobe(tm) PDF Viewer
xpdf is simply a viewer for the Adobe Portable Documentation Format.
The GhostScript package, also on Skunkware, also supports the viewing
of PDF files. XPDF is a very useful
addition to any X11 system, especially if you browse technical documents
on the Web, as many such documents are published in PDF format.
As of version 0.91, XPDF includes the decryption code necessary to read
encrypted PDF documents. See the XPDF home page for additional info.

Graphics Libraries
Many of the SCO Skunkware graphics utilities require the installation
of several dynamically loaded shared graphics libraries. These include
support for the JPEG, TIFF, XPM, Mesa3D, PNG and other graphical file formats.
The versions of the various libraries included in the Skunkware Glib package
are as follows:

Graphical File Conversion Utilities
SCO Skunkware 7 contains a suite of graphical file format utilities.
This includes the highly useful Netpbm suite of graphical file format
conversion utilities.

X11 Screen Locker
xlock locks the X server till the user enters their password
at the keyboard. While xlock is running, all new
server connections are refused. The screen saver is disabled.
The mouse cursor is turned off. The screen is
blanked and a changing pattern is put on the screen. If a
key or a mouse button is pressed then the user is prompted
for the password of the user who started xlock.

X11 Screen Saver
The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle
for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. It turns off
as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity.
The purpose of xscreensaver is to display pretty pictures on your screen
when it is not in use, in keeping with the philosophy that unattended
monitors should always be doing something interesting, just like they do
in the movies.
However, xscreensaver can also be used as a screen locker, to prevent
others from using your terminal while your are away.
The benefit that this program has over the combination of the xlock and
xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphics hacks can be
installed: you don't need to recompile this program to add a new display
mode, you just change some resource settings. Any program which can be
invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the screen can
now be used as a screensaver without modification. The programs that
are being run as screensavers don't need to have any special knowledge
about what it means to be a screensaver.
