description
The
viewres program displays a tree showing the widget
class hierarchy of the Athena Widget Set. Each node in the
tree can be expanded to show the resources that the
corresponding class adds (i.e. does not inherit from its
parent) when a widget is created. This application allows
the user to visually examine the structure and inherited
resources for the Athena Widget Set.
options
Viewres
accepts all of the standard toolkit command line options as
well as the following:
-top name
This option specifies the name
of the highest widget in the hierarchy to display. This is
typically used to limit the display to a subset of the tree.
The default is Object.
-variable
This option indicates that the
widget variable names (as declared in header files) should
be displayed in the nodes rather than the widget class name.
This is sometimes useful to distinguish widget classes that
share the same name (such as Text).
-vertical
This option indicates that the
tree should be displayed top to bottom rather left to
right.
actions
The following application actions are provided:
Quit()
This action causes viewres to exit.
SetLabelType(type)
This action sets the node labels to display the widget
variable or class names, according to the argument
type.
SetOrientation(direction)
This action sets the root of the tree to be one of the following
areas of the window: West, North, East, or
South.
Select(what)
This action selects the indicated nodes, as described in the
VIEW MENU section: nothing (unselects all nodes),
invert, parent, ancestors, children,
descendants, resources, shown.
Resources(op)
This action turns on, off, or toggles the
resource boxes for the selected nodes. If invoked from within one
of the nodes (through the keyboard or pointer), only that node is
used.

select menu
Resources for a single widget class can be displayed by clicking
Button2 on the corresponding node, or by adding the node
to the selection list with Button1 and using the Show
Resource Boxes entry in the View menu. Since
Button1 actually toggles the selection state of a node,
clicking on a selected node will cause it to be removed from the
selected list.
Collections of nodes may also be selected through the various
entries in the Select menu:
Unselect All
This entry removes all nodes from the selection list. This
operation may also be performed with the Select(nothing)
translation.
Select All
This entry adds all nodes to the selection list. This operation
may also be performed with the Select(all) translation.
Invert All
This entry adds unselected nodes to, and removes selected nodes
from, the selection list. This operation may also be performed
with the Select(invert) translation.
Select Parent
This entry selects the immediate parents of all selected nodes.
This operation may also be performed with the
Select(parent) translation.
Select Ancestors
This entry recursively selects all parents of all selected nodes.
This operation may also be performed with the
Select(ancestors) translation.
Select Children
This entry selects the immediate children of all selected nodes.
This operation may also be performed with the
Select(children) translation.
Select Descendants
This entry recursively selects all children of all selected
nodes. This operation may also be performed with the
Select(descendants) translation.
Select Has Resources
This entry selects all nodes that add new resources (regular or
constraint) to their corresponding widget classes. This operation
may also be performed with the Select(resources)
translation.
Select Shown Resource Boxes
This entry selects all nodes whose resource boxes are currently
expanded (usually so that they can be closed with Hide
Resource Boxes). This operation may also be performed with
the Select(shown) translation.
view menu
The way in which the tree is displayed may be changed through the
entries in the View menu:
Show Variable Names
This entry causes the node labels to be set to the variable names
used to declare the corresponding widget class. This operation
may also be performed with the SetLabelType(variable)
translation.
Show Class Names
This entry causes the node labels to be set to the class names
used when specifying resources. This operation may also be
performed with the SetLabelType(class) translation.
Layout Horizontal
This entry causes the tree to be laid out from left to right.
This operation may also be performed with the
SetOrientation(West) translation.
Layout Vertical
This entry causes the tree to be laid out from top to bottom.
This operation may also be performed with the
SetOrientation(North) translation.
Show Resource Boxes
This entry expands the selected nodes (see next section) to show
the new widget and constraint resources. This operation may also
be performed with the Resources(on) translation.
Hide Resource Boxes
This entry removes the resource displays from the selected nodes
(usually to conserve space). This operation may also be performed
with the Resources(off) translation.
