VUEICON(1X)
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 settings 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 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
The following table and descriptions define resources used to specify data for the vueicon program.
| Vueicon Resource Set | |||
| Name | Class | Type | Default |
| useMessaging | UseMessaging | Boolean | False |
| session | Session | String | NULL |
| bmSuffix | BmSuffix | String | ".bm" |
| pmSuffix | PmSuffix | String | ".pm" |
| useFileFilter | UseFileFilter | Boolean | True |
| useFileLists | UseFileLists | Boolean | True |
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 previously saved by the icon editor through a session shutdown. 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 controlled 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 opening and saving files. Setting this resource is equivalent to using the -useFileLists or the -noFileLists command line option.
