.TH WM-MISC 1.SH NAMEabout, clock, coffee, colors, date, edit, mand, memory, polyhedra, reversi, rt, stopwatch, sweeper, task, tetris, unibrowse, view, winctl \- miscellaneous graphical applications.SH SYNOPSIS.B wm/about.br.B wm/clock.br.B wm/coffee.br.B wm/colors.br.B wm/date.br.B wm/edit.RI [ file ].br.B wm/mand.br.B wm/memory.br.B wm/polyhedra.br.B wm/reversi.br.B wm/rt.br.B wm/stopwatch.br.B wm/sweeper.br.B wm/task.br.B wm/tetris[.B -b.I blocksize].br.B wm/unibrowse.br.B wm/view[.B -i].RI [ file... ].br.B wm/winctl.SH DESCRIPTIONA collection of simple applications and utilities that operate under theWm window manager.Other Wm applications exist, see their respective manual pages formore information..PP.TP.B wm/aboutDisplay system version and copyright information..TP.B wm/clockDisplay an analogue clock..TP.B wm/coffeeA whimsical plaything..TP.B wm/colorsDisplays the Inferno palette.Clicking on a particular colour displays its RGB values..TP.B wm/dateDisplays the current date and time in a window..TP.B wm/editA 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/mandA 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 areplotted by filling regions of (apparently) the same colour. Deselecting the fill optionwill plot the points in the usual fashion..TP.B wm/memoryDisplays memory usage.Three usage bars are displayed, one for each of the Inferno memorypools: main, heap and image. The current usage (in bytes) is displayedto 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 itsusage bar.Each bar also sports a highwater mark.The usage data is re-read and displayed once every second..TP.B wm/polyhedraA program to display convex regular polyhedra. The menu options allow the userto alter the speed of rotation and the axis of rotation. To display a differentsolid, move forward or back with the prev and next boxes. Selecting the dualbox 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 thescreen is cleared before the next plot and whether faces are shown respectively..TP.B wm/reversiAn implementation of the popular game. The default set up is for black to be themachine and white the human player. Use the Black and White menu options tochange this. The level of any machine player may be set using the Black leveland White level boxes. This determines the amount of lookahead performedby the tree search algorithm..TP.B wm/rtA Dis module inspector: it can show the Dis instructions, strings,types and other attributes of a module; it also allows the userto set some attributes stored in a module's header..TP.B wm/stopwatchA simple-minded stopwatch.Only useful for coarse-grained timings..TP.B wm/sweeperMine sweeping game..TP.B wm/taskTask 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 Taskdoes not automatically refresh the list; there is a.B Refreshbutton to prompt it to do so..TP.B wm/tetrisThe 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/unibrowseA handy utility for browsing the unicode character set, finding out whatparticular characters look like in different fonts, finding out exactly whichcharacters a font provides, and finding the name of a characterthat you have managed to grab into the snarf buffer..TP.B wm/viewImage viewer.Displays GIF, Inferno.IR image (6),JPEG,PNGand 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 -ioption is given,.I viewcontinues to listen for requests from the.IR plumber (8);the.B -ioption will normally appear only in rules in.IR plumbing (6)files..TP.B wm/winctlWindow management tool.Displays a set of buttons that provide for:raising a window to the top or lowering it to the bottom of thescreen window stack; moving a window to a new position; iconising a window;deleting a window..IPClick 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 acmewindow has strange effects..SH PLUMBING.B wm/viewreceives.B viewmessages.SH FILES.TP.B /lib/polyhedraPolyhedra data base..TP.B /lib/scores/tetrisTetris high score table..TP.B /lib/unidataDirectory holding Unicode character set information, used by.BR unibrowse ..TP.B /dev/memoryProvides.B memorywith 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
