Other Wm applications exist, see their respective manual pages for more information. .PP .TP .B wm/about Display system version and copyright information. .TP .B wm/clock Display an analogue clock. .TP .B wm/coffee A whimsical plaything. .TP .B wm/colors Displays the Inferno palette. Clicking on a particular colour displays its RGB values. .TP .B wm/date Displays the current date and time in a window. .TP .B wm/edit A simple cut-and-paste text editor. Several menus provide the usual editing commands. Text selections are dragged out using mouse button 1. Mouse button-2 displays a pop-up menu of the Cut, Copy and Paste commands. .TP .B wm/mand A fractal browser to explore the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Button 1 drags a rectangle to zoom into, button 2 shows the Julia set at the chosen point, button 3 zooms out. To produce more accurate pictures, the iteration depth may be increased by altering the depth scale factor. The default number of iterations per point is 253. The sets are plotted by filling regions of (apparently) the same colour. Deselecting the fill option will plot the points in the usual fashion. .TP .B wm/memory Displays memory usage. Three usage bars are displayed, one for each of the Inferno memory pools: main, heap and image. The current usage (in bytes) is displayed to the left of each bar, and the number of blocks in use appears in red. The maximum permitted size of each pool is given (in megabytes) to the right of its usage bar. Each bar also sports a highwater mark. The usage data is re-read and displayed once every second. .TP .B wm/polyhedra A program to display convex regular polyhedra. The menu options allow the user to alter the speed of rotation and the axis of rotation. To display a different solid, move forward or back with the prev and next boxes. Selecting the dual box will show the dual of a solid rather than the original solid. Finally the edges, clear and faces boxes determine whether edges are shown, whether the screen is cleared before the next plot and whether faces are shown respectively. .TP .B wm/reversi An implementation of the popular game. The default set up is for black to be the machine and white the human player. Use the Black and White menu options to change this. The level of any machine player may be set using the Black level and White level boxes. This determines the amount of lookahead performed by the tree search algorithm. .TP .B wm/rt A Dis module inspector: it can show the Dis instructions, strings, types and other attributes of a module; it also allows the user to set some attributes stored in a module's header. .TP .B wm/stopwatch A simple-minded stopwatch. Only useful for coarse-grained timings. .TP .B wm/sweeper Mine sweeping game. .TP .B wm/task Task manager: it lists the processes running when it starts, and offers buttons to kill a selected process, kill its process group, show its open files, or debug it using .IR deb (1). A process is selected from the list using mouse button 1. .I Task does not automatically refresh the list; there is a .B Refresh button to prompt it to do so. .TP .B wm/tetris The ubiquitous and annoyingly addictive tile dropping game. The game keys are: .RB ` 7 ' move left; .RB ` 8 ' rotate (anti-clockwise); .RB ` 9 ' move right; .RB ` p ' pause; .RI ` space ' drop and .RB ` q ' quit. A mouse or stylus can also be used to guide the pieces (eg, by tapping the screen in the desired direction). Scores are stored in the file .BR /lib/scores/tetris . Score file updates are not interlocked \- it's only a game! .TP .B wm/unibrowse A handy utility for browsing the unicode character set, finding out what particular characters look like in different fonts, finding out exactly which characters a font provides, and finding the name of a character that you have managed to grab into the snarf buffer. .TP .B wm/view Image viewer. Displays GIF, Inferno .IR image (6), JPEG, PNG and X bitmap image files. The viewer creates a new window to display the contents of each .IR file . If no arguments are given, the file browser panel .IR filename (1) is displayed to prompt the user to select an image file to view. If the .B -i option is given, .I view continues to listen for requests from the .IR plumber (8); the .B -i option will normally appear only in rules in .IR plumbing (6) files. .TP .B wm/winctl Window management tool. Displays a set of buttons that provide for: raising a window to the top or lowering it to the bottom of the screen window stack; moving a window to a new position; iconising a window; deleting a window. .IP Click on the button for the required action then click on the window to apply it to. When moving a window, click and drag the target. Deleting a window is error-prone. Currently using this tool on a charon or acme window has strange effects. .SH PLUMBING .B wm/view receives .B view messages .SH FILES .TP .B /lib/polyhedra Polyhedra data base. .TP .B /lib/scores/tetris Tetris high score table. .TP .B /lib/unidata Directory holding Unicode character set information, used by .BR unibrowse . .TP .B /dev/memory Provides .B memory with memory usage statistics. .SH SOURCE .B /appl/wm/about.b .br .B /appl/wm/coffee.b .br .B /appl/wm/colors.b .br .B /appl/wm/date.b .br .B /appl/wm/edit.b .br .B /appl/wm/mand.b .br .B /appl/wm/memory.b .br .B /appl/wm/polyhedra.b .br .B /appl/wm/reversi.b .br .B /appl/wm/rt.b .br .B /appl/wm/stopwatch.b .br .B /appl/wm/task.b .br .B /appl/wm/tetris.b .br .B /appl/wm/unibrowse.b .br .B /appl/wm/view.b .br .B /appl/wm/winctl.b
