Welcome to the ProgressMeter widget for Motif 1.2.x and up !
This is now version 0.1 which is still considered beta software.
The primary source of this widget is
ftp.gsf.de (146.107.1.2)
/pub/mperzl/ProgressMeter-0.1.tar.gz
It will also be available (hopefully pretty soon) at
ftp.x.org (198.112.44.100)
/contrib/widgets/motif/ProgressMeter/ProgressMeter-0.1.tar.gz
or on one of the mirror sites of ftp.x.org.
Features: =========
o Two different visible looks:
- thermometer style (default)
- MS Windows "brick" lookalike meter style selectable via
XmNboxMode ressource
o Optional percentage output (only in thermometer style)
o Optional passed time and remaining time (estimated) output (only
in thermometer style)
o Nearly finished man pages (only XmProgressMeter.man needs some
finishing)
To get a first good impression check the Imakefile for any necessary
changes for your platform and then compile the demo program behaviors and
looks of the widget. The source 'ptest.c' might also be a good example of
how to use the widget. Otherwise the man pages should also provide good
information about the widget. And then there is still the source code :-)
In case you don't have imake there is also a Makefile.noImake which you
would have to adjust for your platform.
Tested platforms: =================
o SGI Irix 5.3 with Motif 1.2.4 (development platform)
o Solaris 2.4 with Motif 1.2.3
o SunOS 4.1.3_U1 with Motif 1.2.2
o Linux 1.2.13 with Motif 2.0
o Convex C3840 with Motif 1.2.2
o HPUX 9.04 with Motif 1.2.2
So it should work on virtually any Unix platform with Motif 1.2.x. I would
be also really interested in getting to work it with Motif 1.1.x !
Unfortunately I don't have any such platform available. If someone could
test it there (or get it to run there) I would gladly incorporate any
necessary changes.
Please note that this is my first widget written ever, so please bare with
me in case of minor or major glitches :-)
I would like to have it tested on as many platforms as possible and find
all the remaining bugs within the next weeks and then release a final
version 1.0.
Have fun with it !
