C Resources

  

All the GUI visualisation tools define a number of resources which control the appearance and functionality of the tools. Many of these resources are common to other non-visualisation programmes for the X Window system, such as the xterm programme. Listed below are those resources which are specific to Karma visualisation tools. These resources may be set in your /.Xdefaults file, which is the standard file into which to put your personal resources. Some systems use the non-standard /.Xresources file instead, although the format is the same. On SGI systems you may need to put your Karma resources in a separate file and run:
xrdb -merge <filename>
in your window system startup script.

In some cases you will need to prepend the application classname (i.e. Kview) to the resource name. First try specifying the particular resource as shown and if that doesn't work prepend the application classname.

• *ZoomPolicy.fixAspect this controls whether the aspect ratio will be fixed (True) or not (False)
• *ZoomPolicy.integerXZoom this controls whether horizontal zooming will be forced to integer multiples (True) or not (False)
• *ZoomPolicy.integerYZoom this controls whether vertical zooming will be forced to integer multiples (True) or not (False)
• *IntensityPolicy*resetIntensityToggle.state this controls whether the intensity range will be reset upon loading of a new file (True) or not (False)
• *MagnifierPopup.fastPanner this controls whether the magnifier window will use a fast, large-memory mode (True) or not (False) panner. The default is to use the slower, small-memory panner. In most cases the default mode is quite fast enough, unless you enlarge the magnifier window so it nearly fills your screen. The reason the default is to use the small-memory mode is that if you have a large image (say 2k*2k) then the fast mode would require 64 MBytes of RAM just to store one copy of the image! Unless you have lots of RAM in your computer, you will be forced to wait a long time while your machine swaps to disc, hence the default
• *ImageDisplay.fastPanner as above, but applies to the main image window. The default is to use the fast, large-memory panner. This is only of significance when you use panning mode (i.e. select ``Panner'' from the ``Zoom'' menu)
• *MagnifierPopup.showCrosshair this controls whether magnifier windows should show a crosshair (True) or not ( False)
• *transient if True all popup windows will be iconified if the main window is iconified

• *Dialogpopup.transient as above for the Dialogpopup widget
• *DressingControl.transient as above for the DressingControl widget (section 2.8)
• *Filepopup.transient as above for the Filepopup widget (section 2.1)

• *LoadAndDecimate.transient as above for the LoadAndDecimate widget (section 2.1.1)
• *MagnifierPopup.transient as above for the MagnifierPopup widget (section 2.9)
