+.TH EDITRES 1 "Release 6.4" "X Version 11"
+.SH NAME
+editres \- a dynamic resource editor for X Toolkit applications
+.SH SYNTAX
+\fBeditres\fP [ \fI\-toolkitoption\fP .\|.\|. ]
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I Editres
+accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
+options (see \fIX(1)\fP).  The order of the command line options is
+not important.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Editres is a tool that allows users and application developers to view
+the full widget hierarchy of any X Toolkit application that speaks the
+Editres protocol.  In addition, editres will help the user construct
+resource specifications, allow the user to apply the resource to
+the application and view the results dynamically.  Once the user is
+happy with a resource specification editres will append the resource
+string to the user's X Resources file.
+.SH USING EDITRES
+.I Editres
+provides a window consisting of the following four areas:
+.IP "Menu Bar" 25
+A set of popup menus that allow you full access to editres's features.
+.IP "Panner" 
+The panner allows a more intuitive way to scroll the application tree display.
+.IP "Message Area"
+Displays information to the user about the action that editres expects 
+of her.
+.IP "Application Widget Tree" 25
+This area will be used to display the selected application's widget tree.
+.LP
+To begin an editres session select the \fBGet Widget Tree\fP menu item from
+the command menu.  This will change the pointer cursor to cross hair.
+You should now select the application you wish look at by clicking on
+any of its windows.  If this application understands the editres
+protocol then editres will display the application's widget tree in its
+tree window.  If
+the application does not understand the editres protocol editres will
+inform you of this fact in the message area after a few seconds delay.
+.LP
+Once you have a widget tree you may now select any of the other menu
+options. The effect of each of these is described below.  
+.SH COMMANDS
+.IP "Get Widget Tree" 8
+Allows the user to click on any application that speaks the editres
+protocol and receive its widget tree.
+.IP "Refresh Current Widget Tree" 
+Editres only knows about the widgets that exist at the present time.
+Many applications create and destroy widgets on the fly.  Selecting
+this menu item will cause editres to ask the application to resend its
+widget tree, thus updating its information to the new state of the application.
+.IP
+For example,
+xman only creates the widgets for its \fItopbox\fP when it
+starts up.  None of the widgets for the manual page window are created
+until the user actually clicks on the \fIManual Page\fP button.  If
+you retrieved 
+xman's widget tree before the the manual page is active, you may
+wish to refresh the widget tree after the manual page has been
+displayed.  This will allow you to also edit the manual page's resources.
+.IP "Dump Widget Tree to a File"
+For documenting applications it is often useful to be able to
+dump the entire application widget tree to an ASCII file.  This file
+can then be included in the manual page.  When this menu item is selected
+a popup dialog is activated.  Type the name of the file in this
+dialog, and either select \fIokay\fP, or type a carriage-return.  Editres
+will now dump the widget tree to this file.  To cancel the file dialog,
+select the \fIcancel\fP button.
+.IP "Show Resource Box"
+This command will popup a resource box for the current application.  This
+resource box (described in detail below) will allow the user to see
+exactly which resources can be set for the widget that is currently
+selected in the widget tree display.  Only one widget may be currently
+selected; if greater or fewer are selected editres will refuse to
+pop up the resource box and put an error message in the \fBMessage Area\fP.
+.IP "Set Resource"
+This command will popup a simple dialog box for setting an arbitrary
+resource on all selected widgets.  You must type in the resource name,
+as well as the value.  You can use the Tab key to switch between the
+resource name field the resource value field.
+.IP "Quit"
+Exits editres.
+.SH TREE COMMANDS
+The \fBTree\fP menu contains several commands that allow operations to
+be performed on the widget tree.
+.IP "Select Widget in Client"
+This menu item allows you to select any widget in the application; editres
+will then highlight the corresponding element the widget tree display.
+Once
+this menu item is selected the pointer cursor will again turn to a
+crosshair, and you must click any pointer button in the widget you
+wish to have displayed.  Since some widgets are fully obscured by
+their children, it is not possible to get to every widget this way,
+but this mechanism does give very useful feedback between the elements
+in the widget tree and those in the actual application.
+.IP "Select All" 
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Unselect All"
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Invert All" 
+These functions allow the user to select, unselect, or invert all
+widgets in the widget tree.
+.IP "Select Children"
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Select Parents"
+These functions select the immediate parent or children of each of the
+currently selected widgets.
+.IP "Select Descendants"
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Select Ancestors"
+These functions select all parents or children of each of the
+currently selected widgets.  This is a recursive search.
+.IP "Show Widget Names"
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Show Class Names"
+.br
+.ns .IP "Show Widget IDs"
+.br
+.ns 
+.IP "Show Widget Windows"
+When the tree widget is initially displayed the labels of each widget
+in the tree correspond to the widget names.  These functions will
+cause the label of \fBall\fP widgets in the tree to be changed to show the
+class name, IDs, or window associated with each widget in the application.
+The widget IDs, and windows are shown as hex numbers.
+.LP
+In addition there are keyboard accelerators for each of the 
+Tree operations.  If the input focus is over an individual widget in
+the tree, then that operation will only effect that widget.  If the
+input focus is in the Tree background it will have 
+exactly the same effect as the corresponding menu item.  
+.LP
+The translation
+entries shown may be applied to any widget in the application.  If
+that widget is a child of the Tree widget, then it will only affect that
+widget, otherwise it will have the same effect as the commands in the
+tree menu.
+.IP "Flash Active Widgets"
+This command is the inverse of the \fBSelect Widget in Client\fP
+command, it will show the user each widget that is currently selected in
+the widget tree, by flashing the corresponding widget in the
+application \fInumFlashes\fP (three by default) times in the
+\fIflashColor\fP.

+.sp
+.SH USING THE RESOURCE BOX
+The resource box contains five different areas.  Each of the areas,
+as they appear on the screen, from top to bottom will be discussed.
+.IP "The Resource Line"
+This area at the top of the resource box shows the current resource
+name exactly as it would appear if you were to save it to a file or
+apply it.
+.IP "The Widget Names and Classes"
+This area allows you to select exactly which widgets this resource will
+apply to.  The area contains four lines, the first contains the 
+name of the selected widget and all its ancestors, and the more restrictive
+dot (\fB.\fP) separator.  The second line contains less specific the
+Class names 
+of each widget, and well as the less restrictive star (\fB*\fP) separator.
+The third line contains a set of special buttons called \fBAny Widget\fP
+which will generalize this level to match any widget.
+The last line contains a set of special buttons called \fBAny
+Widget Chain\fP which will turn the single level into something that
+matches zero or more levels.
+.IP ""
+The initial state of this area is the most restrictive, using the
+resource names and the dot separator.  By selecting the other buttons
+in this area you can ease the restrictions to allow more and more widgets
+to match the specification.  The extreme case is to select all the 
+\fBAny Widget Chain\fP buttons, which will match every widget in the
+application.   As you select different buttons the tree display will update
+to show you exactly which widgets will be effected by the current
+resource specification.
+.IP "Normal and Constraint Resources"
+The next area allows you to select the name of the normal or
+constraint resources you wish to set.  Some widgets may not have constraint
+resources, so that area will not appear.
+.IP "Resource Value"
+This next area allows you to enter the resource value.  This value
+should be entered exactly as you would type a line into your resource file.
+Thus it should contain no unescaped new-lines.  There are a few
+special character sequences for this file:
+.IP ""
+\\n - This will be replaced with a newline.
+.br
+.sp
+\\### - Where # is any octal digit.  This will be replaced with a
+single byte that contains this sequence interpreted as an octal number.
+For example, a value containing a NULL byte can be stored by
+specifying \\000.
+.br
+.sp
+\\<new-line> - This will compress to nothing.
+.br
+.sp
+\\\\ - This will compress to a single backslash.
+.IP "Command Area"
+This area contains several command buttons, described in
+this section.
+.IP "Set Save File"
+This button allows the user to modify file that the resources
+will be saved to.  This button will bring up a dialog box that will
+ask you for a filename; once the filename has been entered, either hit
+carriage-return or click on the \fIokay\fP button.  To pop down the
+dialog box without changing the save file, click the \fIcancel\fP button.
+.IP "Save"
+This button will append the \fBresource line\fP described above to the
+end of the current save file.  If no save file has been set the \fBSet
+Save File\fP dialog box will be popped up to prompt the user for a filename.
+.IP "Apply"
+This button attempts to perform a XtSetValues call on all widgets
+that match the \fBresource line\fP described above.  The value specified
+is applied directly to all matching widgets.  This behavior is an attempt
+to give a dynamic feel to the resource editor.  Since this feature allows
+users to put an application in states it may not be willing to handle,
+a hook has been provided to allow specific applications to
+block these SetValues
+requests (see \fBBlocking Editres Requests\fP below).
+.IP ""
+Unfortunately due to design constraints imposed on the widgets by the X
+Toolkit and the Resource Manager, trying to coerce an inherently
+static system into dynamic behavior can cause strange results.  There
+is no guarantee that the results of an apply will be the same as what
+will happen when you save the value and restart the application.
+This functionality is provided to try to give you a rough feel for what
+your changes will accomplish, and the results obtained should be considered
+suspect at best.  Having said that, this is one of the neatest
+features of editres, and I strongly suggest that you play with it, and
+see what it can do.
+.IP "Save and Apply"
+This button combines the Save and Apply actions described above into
+one button.
+.IP "Popdown Resource Box"
+This button will remove the resource box from the display.
+.SH BLOCKING EDITRES REQUESTS
+The editres protocol has been built into the Athena Widget set.  This allows
+all applications that are linked against Xaw to be able to speak to the
+resource editor.  While this provides great flexibility, and is a
+useful tool, it can quite easily be abused.  It is therefore possible
+for any Xaw application to specify a value for the \fBeditresBlock\fP
+resource described below, to keep editres from divulging information
+about its internals, or to disable the \fBSetValues\fP part of the protocol.
+.TP 8
+.B editresBlock (\fPClass\fB EditresBlock)
+Specifies which type of blocking this application wishes to impose on the
+editres protocol.  
+.LP
+The accepted values are:
+.IP all 15
+Block all requests.
+.IP setValues 
+Block all SetValues requests.  As this is the only editres request that
+actually modifies the application, this is in effect stating that the
+application is read-only.
+.IP none
+Allow all editres requests.
+.LP
+Remember that these resources are set on any Xaw application, \fBnot
+editres\fP.  They allow individual applications to keep all or some
+of the requests editres makes from ever succeeding.  Of course,
+editres is also an Xaw application, so it may also be viewed and modified
+by editres (rather recursive, I know), these commands can be blocked
+by setting the \fBeditresBlock\fP resource on editres itself.
+.SH RESOURCES
+For \fIeditres\fP the available application resources are:
+.TP 8
+.B numFlashes (\fPClass\fB NumFlashes)
+Specifies the number of times the widgets in the application
+will be flashed when the \fBShow Active Widgets\fP command in invoked.
+.TP 8
+.B flashTime (\fPClass\fB FlashTime)
+Amount of time between the flashes described above.
+.TP 8
+.B flashColor (\fPClass\fB flashColor)
+Specifies the color used to flash application widgets.  A bright color
+should be used that will immediately draw your attention to the area being
+flashed, such as red or yellow.
+.TP 8
+.B saveResourcesFile (\fPClass\fB SaveResourcesFile)
+This is the file the resource line will be append to when the \fBSave\fP
+button activated in the resource box.
+.SH WIDGETS
+In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
+the widgets which compose \fIeditres\fP.  In the notation below,
+indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name
+is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
