Graphical Hardware Configuration</h2>
|
|
The GFE is intended to run on a host of platforms. Some
|
|
of these platforms contain graphical hardware accelerators. The
|
|
GFE
|
|
will attempt to take advantage of the hardware accelerators by using
|
|
24-bit
|
|
plane visuals, double-buffering extensions, bitmaps, and overlay
|
|
planes.
|
|
This section also controls some of the font sizes that are used in the
|
|
GFE.</div>

<a name="UseBitmaps"></a><font size="+1">Use Bitmaps</font>
|
|
The useBitmaps indicate whether bit maps will be used for graphics
|
|
performance.
|
|
Some PC X servers do not implement a bitmap stipple fill in hardware.
|
|
This
|
|
can make the default rendering mode of maps (and other bitmaps) slow.
|
|
If
|
|
you suspect this might be the case, then set the following to 0.
|
|
<p><b><tt>useBitmaps = 1</tt></b> <br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4><a name="Fonts"></a><font size="+1">Fonts</font></h4>
|
|
The fonts used by the GFE can be controlled. For alignment
|
|
purposes
|
|
the fonts should be non-proportional. There are five sizes of text
|
|
fonts
|
|
used in the GFE which are identified from 0 through 4 to
|
|
increase/decrease
|
|
the size of the text.
|
|
<p>The TextFont* entries are used by the various editors and
|
|
visualizations,
|
|
in other words, everything else on the gfe. They should be ordered from
|
|
smallest font to largest font and be all from one font family.
|
|
The
|
|
GFE software is coded to use specific entries. If you don't like
|
|
the defaults, they can be changed <a
|
|
href="gfeConfig.html#GFEComponentFontSizes">elsewhere
|
|
in the configuration file</a>. </p>

<h4><a name="BackgroundColorforDrawingPanes"></a><font size="+1">Background
|
|
Color
|
|
for Drawing Panes</font></h4>
|
|
The color which will be used as the background for all of the display
|
|
panes
|
|
may be specified. If you change this entry, you may also want to
|
|
change the <a
|
|
href="gfeConfig_Samp.html#SampleLatitude/LongitudeandPlusSignColor">sample
|
|
colors</a> and <a href="gfeConfig_Samp.html#ImageLegendColor">image
|
|
legend
|
|
colors</a> to prevent conflicts.
|
|
<p><b><tt>bgColor = "black"</tt></b> <br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4><a name="Geometry"></a><font size="+1">Initial GFE Geometry</font></h4>
|
|
The initial GFE geometry may be specified using the geometry
|
|
identifier.
|
|
The height and width of the initial GFE may be specified. The
|
|
default
|
|
is that the GFE will occupy 90% of the available space on the
|
|
screen.
|
|
This can be a problem for multiple-headed displays, since the GFE may
|
|
initially
|
|
be displayed across the two graphic heads. The format of the
|
|
geometry
|
|
is the standard X format, thus the initial location may also be
|
|
specified,
|
|
as in the second example. Refer to the X manuals for details on
|
|
the
|
|
geometry specification: <><b><tt>geometry = '800x600'</tt></b> <br>
|
|
<b><tt>-or-</tt></b> <br>
|
|
<b><tt>geometry = '800x600+200+150'</tt></b> <br>
