XWUD(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              XWUD(1)



NAME
     xwud - X Window System, window image undumper

SYNOPSIS
     xwud [ -debug ] [ -help ] [ -inverse ] [ -in _f_i_l_e ] [
     _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y ]

DESCRIPTION
     _X_w_u_d is an X Window System (protocol version 10) window
     image undumping utility.  _X_w_u_d allows X users to display
     window images that were saved in a specially formatted win-
     dow dump file.  The window  image  will  appear  at  the
     coordinates of the original window from which the dump was
     taken.  This is a crude version of a more advanced utility
     that will be released in the future.  The window dump file
     format is currently under development; no guarantee of
     upward compatibility is made: the format will be completely
     different under V11. Monochrome dump files are displayed on
     a color monitor in the default foreground and background
     colors.

     NOTE: Windows can only be undumped on a display have at
     least as many bit planes as the original display.

ARGUMENT SUMMARY
     -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

     -in _f_i_l_e
             This argument allows the user to explicitly specify
             the input file on the command line.  The default is
             to take input from standard in.

     -inverse
             Applies to monochrome window dump files only. If
             selected, the window is undumped in reverse video.
             This is mainly needed because the display is `write
             white', whereas dump files intended eventually to be
             written to a printer are generally `write black'.

     _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
             This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and
             display number on which to display the window dump.
             For example `xwud orpheus:1' would specify that the
             dump will appear on display `1' on the machine
             `orpheus'.  By default, _x_w_u_d uses the host and
             display number stored in the environment variable
             DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally
             specified.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY To get default host and display number.

FILES
     XWDFile.h
             X Window Dump File format definition file.

BUGS
     Cannot always undump a XY format color dump file with the
     correct colors since the original pixel-to-color correspon-
     dence will be lost if new color-map pixels have to be allo-
     cated.
