The Icon Editor, also is capa- ble of grabbing images from the display and use them as bases for new icons. The Icon Editor, also, supports drag and drop, allowing the user to drag an icon file from the file manager onto the Icon Editor window or icon. Key Supported Tasks - Modify size of window. - Modify location of window. - Iconify window. - Edit a new or existing icon. - Save the current icon - Undo the last operation. - Cut, copy, and paste areas within the Icon Editor drawing tablet. - Grab images from the display. - Rotate selected area. - Scale selected area. - Flip selected area right or left. - Resize icon. - Add a hot spot to the icon. - Delete a hot spot from icon. - Clear icon. - Overlay the icon drawing area with a visible grid. - Select icon format, XPM or XBM. - Alter the magnification factor for the drawing tablet. The Icon Editor accepts all of the standard X Toolkit/Widget command line options. Additional application specific options are listed below. OPTIONS The following options are available from the command line: -f file This option takes a bitmap or pixmap file name. If the file ends in .pm or .xpm suffix, it will try reading it as an XPM file first. If it fails, it will try reading it as an XBM file. If the file ends in .bm or .xbm suffix, it will try reading it as an XBM file first. If it fails, it will try reading it as an XPM file. If the file doesn't match any of these suffixes, it will try reading it as an XPM file first. If it fails it will try reading it as an XBM file. -x widthxheight This option specifies an initial geometry for the icon image. If a file is specified using the -f option, the size of that icon supersedes the geometry specified. -session file This option takes the name of a session file as an addi- tional parameter. The Icon Editor is invoked with the speci- fied session file name. The session file is a file that was previously saved by the Icon Editor through a session shut- down. This option causes all other command line options to be ignored, as all settings are taken from the specified session file. RETURN VALUE Exit values are: 0 Successful completion. >0 Error condition occurred. EXAMPLES dticon -x 24x32 Starts the Icon Editor with an icon template of width 24 and height 32. dticon Integration using ToolTalk [Using Tooltalk to integrate dticon in your applications] Tooltalk makes it possible to use dticon from within your application. dticon supports the following Tooltalk mes- sages: start edit quit An application can construct a Tooltalk message, which will include a buffer containing the icon the application wishes to edit. The format of the message appears in dticon's ptype file( dticon.ptype). The buffer in the edit message is con- structed to contain the icon contents of an XPM or an XBM icon file. In the case of an XBM icon containing transparent regions dticon generates two icon files, an XBM file con- taining the base icon( the icon without the transparent regions) and a mask file that indicates the transparent regions in the icon. The buffer in this case must include both icon files double buffered, the base icon first and then the mask, both in the same buffer. NOTE: An application may pass a buffer to dticon containing an XPM icon and get back a double buffer containing an XBM icon and its mask, and vise versa.
