Message-ID: <3088@sparko.gwu.edu> Date: 19 Apr 91 19:34:10 GMT Sender: news@seas.gwu.edu Reply-To: darken@seas.gwu.edu (Rudolph Darken) Organization: The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. Lines: 11 I've got some sample Xview code which has the function gcm_initialize_colors(canvas, "black", "white") in it. What does this do? I'm at a crucial step in my program where I'm switching from Xview to X and I need to know the status of my windows as far as size, foreground, background. This is not in the Xview manual but it seems to run fine. I just don't know what it does. Thanks. Rudy darken@seas.gwu.edu
