NAME
PixEditT - A Simple Bitmap Editor Program

DESCRIPTION

PixEditT is a simple bitmap editor program which is used to test the PixelEditor widget. It allows the loading and saving of bitmap & XPM3 pixmap files in the same format used as the Athena bitmap program. Useful features include different magnifications, brush shapes and cut/copy/paste. This program is not intended to be a full-featured pixel editing application. It exists to test the PixelEditor widget that it is constructed from. Recently, optional scrollbars have been added to the program. These can be enabled by using the flag -scrollbars on the command line. These are optional because they can cause the program to slow down enormously in certain situations for reasons currently unknown. It may involve the loading of shared libraries, or may be a bug in the geometry management, or other reasons. Until the reason is discovered, the use of the viewport scrollbars are optional. The Xpm3 library and include file comes with the X11R5 release. You can obtain the Xpm code from export.lcs.mit.edu from the ftp directory ~ftp/contrib. The FWF.tmpl file in the project root directory contains the line to include the Xpm library. If you want to disable the Xpm support (e.g. because you do not have the Xpm package), insert the line: #define NO_XPM at the top of the PixEditT.h file.

RESTRICTIONS

Many potential features have been left out of this program. Doesn't always redraw when resources change.
