NAME

uil2xd − Converts UIL source to WorkShop Visual save files

SYNOPSIS

uil2xd [ −XltxywhpsaA ] [ −Iinclude_dir ] [ <infile ] [ >outfile ]

DESCRIPTION

uil2xd is a simple filter for converting UIL source code to visu save files. It reads UIL source from standard input and writes an visu save file on standard out.

OPTIONS

−t Don’t convert ScrolledWindow containing Text to Scrolled Text. By default uil2xd will convert a ScrolledWindow widget containing a Text widget into a ScrolledText widget. Use the −t flag to preserve the structure.

−l Don’t convert ScrolledWindow containing List to Scrolled List. By default uil2xd will convert a ScrolledWindow widget containing a List widget into a ScrolledList widget. Use the −l flag to preserve the structure.

−x Pass through XmNx resources. By default uil2xd will not output absolute positions in the save file. Use the −x flag to pass XmNx resources into the output file.

−y Pass through XmNy resources. By default uil2xd will not output absolute positions in the save file. Use the −y flag to pass XmNy resources into the output file.

−w Pass through XmNwidth resources. By default uil2xd will not output absolute sizes in the save file. Use the −w flag to pass XmNwidth resources into the output file.

−h Pass through XmNheight resources. By default uil2xd will not output absolute sizes in the save file. Use the −h flag to pass XmNwidth resources into the output file.

−p Preserves position resources in output file. Same as -x -y

−s Preserves size resources in output file. Same as -w -h

−a Preserves all position and size resources in output file. Same as -p -s

−A Generate fake Motif form attachments for otherwise unattached children.

−Iinclude_dir
adds include_dir to the list of directories that will be searched for include files.

−e Explain how to recover from syntax errors

−X Print list of switches
