689.0. "xwd format ?" by BACHUS::PETRIOLI () Fri Apr 04 1997 08:10

    
    The graphs in ECP can be saved either in ps or xwd format.
    What is the xwd format used for ?
    
    What I would really like is to be able to include some ECP graphs in
    my winword report. 
    
    What would also be very usefull is to be able to include the
    configuration graphics in the report.
    
    Thanks
    Albert.

689.1How to include graph data in word documentsCPDEV::HURLEYJohn HurleyFri Apr 11 1997 06:2926
 >> The graphs in ECP can be saved either in ps or xwd format.
 >> What is the xwd format used for ?

 The graphs can be printed in ps or xwd format.  They can be saved
 in comma separated variable format (e.g. csv), symbolic link format (e.g. slk),
 or in Model Data format (e.g. an ascii table).

    
 >> What I would really like is to be able to include some ECP graphs in

 You can import the csv or slk directly into excel and the create graphs very
 easily that can be included in word documents.

 
  xwd - dump an image of an X window

DESCRIPTION

  The xwd utility is an X Window System window dumping utility.  xwd allows X
  users to store window images in a specially formatted dump file.  This file
  can then be read by various other X utilities for redisplay, printing,
  editing, formatting, archiving, image processing, and so forth.  The target
  window is selected by clicking the pointer in the desired window.  The key-
  board bell is rung once at the beginning of the dump and twice when the
  dump is completed.
689.2I like the look of the ECP graphs themself.BRSSWS::PETRIOLITue Apr 15 1997 01:5415
    
    Thanks for your reply John.
    
    I'm already using the csv format for my customer reports. What I was
    refering to is the fact that I like the look of the ECP graphs as they
    are shown in Xwindow and I was wondering if it would be possible to
    include those graphs, as they are, in my MSwords report. Obviously this
    is not possible. Tha's not really a problem, the csv files are ok.
    The only thing really missing is the possibliliaty to include in the
    MSword report the system configuration as displayed by the ECP program.
    Again, I find that graph very pleasant and it is a pitty not to be
    able to show it in the report.
    
    Cheers.
