xdmxconfig - a graphical configuration tool
for Xdmx configuration files
xdmxconfig [filename]
xdmxconfig
reads, edits, and writes configuration files for the Xdmx server. The grammar
for the configuration file is specified in the Xdmx(1)
manual page.
To start
from scratch, create a "New Global" and specify the name and overall dimensions
for the configuration. Then use "New Display" to enter more displays.
If
there is more than one configuration, the configuration name button will
bring up a selection menu.
In the right-hand pannel, the left mouse button
will move the highlighted display at "tool resolution"; the middle mouse
button will move the highlighted display by a single pixel (at "wall resolution");
and the right mouse button will bring up a menu allowing the highlighted
display to be edited or deleted. The arrow keys will also move the highlighted
display by a single pixel.
Currently, entries with the wall keyword
are not editable, but will be preserved in the new output file. The tool
will quit when requested by the user, even if a configuration file has
not been written out (i.e., without warning). The menu interaction should
be improved (menu entries that don't currently work should be greyed-out,
for example). The Help button does not work.
