/*======================================================================== * * Name - Bugs * * Version: 1.3 * * ccsid: @(#)Bugs 1.3 - 7/6/92 10:52:06 * from: ../work/ccs/s.Bugs * date: 7/6/92 10:54:24 * * Description: Known bugs and problems. This list does not include * bugs that have been fixed. See the patch set README * files for descriptions of the bugs they fix. * *========================================================================*/ * Postscript images produced by xgrabsc don't get printed This is almost always a memory requirement problem. Xgrabsc v2.0 can generate checks for memory availability so you can at least see how much memory you're lacking to be able to print your document. I'd like to be able to preempt the transfer of the rest of the file when there isn't enough memory to process it, but haven't been able to make this happen. * The puzzle program won't display xgrabsc output While xgrabsc can create puzzle picture files from monochrome screens, the puzzle program will not display pictures with "- picture" on monochrome systems. This is not a "bug" in xgrabsc, but is a "confusing feature". * When started from a window-manager menu, xgrabsc fails to grab an image. If you run xgrabsc from a Twm menu, be sure to end your exec command with "&". The program may not be able to grab the pointer or server unless you do this. This will likely happen with any window manager, but has been reported onlyfor Twm. * Encapsulate Postscript images are not centered or scaled when printed This isn't a problem with xgrabsc. EPS files are not supposed to contain scaling or transformation commands. * The X cursor isn't included in images If someone can tell me how to grab an image with the X cursor, I'd be much obliged. Most X servers explicitely hide the cursor when processing getImage requests. * BadMatch errors are generated when grabbing with the keyboard (-k) and the cursor is on a menubar I haven't been able to reproduce this error. * Can't grab xeyes I haven't been able to reproduce this problem. * Dithered output sent to "xpr" for a laserjet doesn't produce an image I have no laserjet to test with. * The halftoning algorithm in xgrabsc should be improved Someone have a better algorithm? If so, please send it to me. I'm not interested in supporting zillions of different dithering algorithms, but would be happy to improve the ones already in xgrabsc. * Postscript output doesn't center properly when printed The paper size is hard-coded into xgrabsc. If you're not using the US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches), you'll have to change the constants in config.h to the size of paper you use. Paper size selection will be a command-line option in a future release of xgrabsc.
