Release 5

NAME

xseethru - opens a transparent window into the image planes of a HP graphics display system while running X in the overlay planes. 

SYNOPSIS

xseethru [-geometry geometry] [-display display]

DESCRIPTION

xseethru provides one method of viewing output from HP’s high performance Starbase graphics applications while running X. 
 
Normally, both X and Starbase utilize the image planes of the display and can not coexist together. However, if X is run in the overlay planes (by modifying /usr/lib/X11/X*screens), Starbase applications can be run via an X window and can utilize the normal Starbase output drivers that render to the image planes. When this is done, xseethru can be used to open a transparent window into the "underlaying" (and hidden) image planes to view a portion (or all, if the window is large enough) of the Starbase output. 
  Another method of viewing Starbase output while running X involves using HP’s Starbase on X (SOX) subsystem.  With this method, X is run as normal in the image planes and Starbase output is translated to X protocol so that it can be displayed and managed by X within a window in the standard X manner.
 

OPTIONS

-geometry geometry
The transparent window is created with the specified size according to the geometry specification. See X(1) for details. 

-display display
Specifies the sevrer to use; see X(1) for details. 

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY
To get the default host and display number.

HARDWARE DEPENDENCIES

Only one display: 0, is supported on the HP9000 Series 300.
 
Xseethru is only useful on the HP98550A, HP98720A, HP98730A, HP98735A/36A/36B, or HP98705A/B/C Graphics Display Systems.
