The +.B xgc +program provides a user interface for setting various GC components. +Pressing the "Run" button causes these results to be displayed in +the large drawing window on the right. Timing information is +displayed in the window immediately below. +.PP +The items in the upper left hand window work as follows: +.PP +.I Function +\- specify the logical function with which primitives +will drawn. The most usual setting is "set", i.e. simply to render +pixels without regard to what has been drawn before. +.PP +.I LineStyle +\- specify whether lines should be drawn solid in foreground, +dashed in foreground or alternating foreground and background. +.PP +.I CapStyle +\- specify the appearance of the ends of a line. +.PP +.I JoinStyle +\- specify the appearance of joints between consecutive +lines drawn within a single graphics primitive. +.PP +.I FillStyle +\- specify whether lines, text and fill requests are +solid, tiled with a pixmap or stippled. +.PP +.I FillRule +\- specifies the rule used to fill polygons. The EvenOdd +rule means that if areas overlap an odd number of times, they are not +drawn. Winding rule means that overlapping areas are always filled, +regardless of how many times they overlap. +.PP +.I ArcMode +\- specifies the rule for filling of arcs. The boundary +of the arc is either a Chord or two radii. +.PP +.I planemask +\- specifies which planes of the drawing window are +modified. By default, all planes are modified. +.PP +.I dashlist +\- specifies a pattern to be used when drawing dashed lines. +.PP +.I Line Width +\- specifies the width in pixels of lines to be drawn. +Zero means to draw using the server's fastest algorithm with a line width of +one pixel. +.PP +.I Font +\- specifies the font to be used for text primitives. +.PP +.I Foreground +and +.I Background +\- specify the pixel values to be +applied when drawing primitives. +The Foreground value is used as the +pixel value for set bits in the source in all primitives. +The Background value is used as the +pixel value for unset bits in the source when using Copy Plane, drawing +lines with LineStyle of DoubleDash and filling with FillStyle of +OpaqueStippled. +.PP +.I Percentage of Test +\- scrollbar permits specifying only +a percentage of the test to be run. The number at the left indicates +the current setting, which defaults to 100%. +.sp +The window labeled "Test" permits choice of one a number of graphics +primitive tests, including Points, Segments, Lines, Arcs and Filled Arcs, +8-bit Text and Image Text, Rectangles and Filled Rectangles, Image draws, +as well as Copy Plane and Copy Area. +.PP +The window to the right of this has buttons which permit record/playback +of the primitives rendered. .SH OPTIONS .I Xgc accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options. |
