NAME
vueicon - The HP VUE Icon Editor
SYNOPSIS
vueicon [options]
DESCRIPTION
The Vueicon program is an icon editor for use within the X
Window System environment. The Icon Editor allows you to
create new icons, modify existing icons, or create an icon
from any visible image on the display. It supports both XPM
and XBM format icons, including hotspot. The Icon Editor
also supports HP VUE drag and drop, allowing the user to
drag file icons from the HP VUE file manager onto the Icon
Editor window for editing.
OPTIONS
The following options are available from the command line:
-f file
This options takes a bitmap or pixmap file name. The
Icon Editor will first try to open the exact file name.
If this fails, it will look for the same file name with
a .pm or .bm suffix.
-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.
-noMessaging
This option forces the Icon Editor to forego connecting
to the BMS. This will result in the Icon Editor being
unable to support the dragging and dropping of files.
This is equivalent to setting the useMessaging resource
to False.
-session file
This option takes the name of a session file as an
additional parameter. The icon editor is run with the
specified session file name. The session file is a
file that was previously saved by the icon editor
through a session shutdown. This option causes all
other command line options to be ignored, as all set-
tings are taken from the specified session file.
-bmSuffix string
This option allows the user to specify a suffix for X
Bitmap format files. It will be used as the "pre-
loaded" suffix for the "Save As" dialog. File suffix
conventions are not enforced by vueicon, so the user is

VUEICON(1X) UNIX Programmer's Manual VUEICON(1X)
free to remove the file suffix and specify any file
name and suffix.
-pmSuffix string
This option allows the user to specify a suffix for X
Pixmap format files. It will be used as the "pre-
loaded" suffix for the "Save As" dialog. File suffix
conventions are not enforced by vueicon, so the user is
free to remove the file suffix and specify any file
name and suffix.
-noFileFilter
This will cause the "Filter" text field and the
"Filter" button to be removed from the file selection
dialog used for opening and saving files. This is
equivalent to setting the useFileFilter resource to
False.
-noFileLists
This will cause the "Directory" and "File" lists to be
removed from the file selection dialog used for opening
and saving files. This is equivalent to setting the
useFileLists resource to False.
-useFileFilter
This will cause the "Filter" text field and the
"Filter" button to be visible in the file selection
dialog used for opening and saving files. This is
equivalent to setting the useFileFilter resource to
True.
-useFileLists
This will cause the "Directory" and "File" lists to be
visible in the file selection dialog used for opening
and saving files. This is equivalent to setting the
useFileLists resource to True.
RESOURCES

useMessaging
Used by the HP VUE Lite configuration. Setting this
resource to False is equivalent to specifying the
-noMessaging command line option. The app-defaults
file shipped with vueicon sets this resource to True,
thus giving vueicon a default value of True for non HP
Vue Lite configurations.
session
Specifies the saved session file to use when restoring
vueicon. The session file is a file that was previ-
ously 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. This can also be con-
trolled using the -session command line option.
bmSuffix
This resource allows the user to specify a suffix for X
Bitmap format files. It will be used as the "pre-
loaded" suffix for the "Save As" dialog. File suffix
conventions are not enforced by vueicon, so the user is
free to remove the file suffix and specify any file
name and suffix. Setting this resource is equivalent
to specifying the -bmSuffix command line option.
pmSuffix
This resource allows the user to specify a suffix for X
Pixmap format files. It will be used as the "pre-
loaded" suffix for the "Save As" dialog. File suffix
conventions are not enforced by vueicon, so the user is
free to remove the file suffix and specify any file
name and suffix. Setting this resource is equivalent
to specifying the -pmSuffix command line option.
useFileFilter
This controls if the "Filter" text field and the
"Filter" button will be visible in the file selection
dialog used for opening and saving files. Setting this
resource is equivalent to using the -useFileFiter or
the -noFileFilter command line option.
useFileLists
This controls if the "Directory" and "File" lists will
be visible in the file selection dialog used for open-
ing and saving files. Setting this resource is
equivalent to using the -useFileLists or the
