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 -- cgit v1.2.3
