Re: [foxboro] Help on converting DM displays to jpg or gif format

Hi there,

The following script files pref's the display on a DM screen, dumps it to
a temp file and converts it to a protable bitmap format. This bitmap format
can then be ftp'd to and Intel PC. Be aware of the file size ~2Mb. 
Then download from irfanview (www.irfanview.com) the viewer. It provides you
with a batch converter to a huge number of file formats. (for free!) 

#!/bin/sh
# Script to convert X-Windows dump to 
# portable bitmap format file


# define variables:

# temp folder
TEMPFOLDER=/opt/tmp/disp

# X windows dump utility
Xdump=/usr/openwin/bin/xwd

# X windows dump convert utility
Xconv=/usr/openwin/bin/xwdtopnm

# Foxboro pref utility
Pref_tool=/usr/local/pref

# Station Letterbug
#LBug=Enter letterbug !!!!!
LBug=PCAT00

# Display Manager (DM) Letterbug
#DMName=Enter DM name !!!!!!!
DMName=PCAT00

# Sleep time between DM actions
SleepTime=5

# Make temp dir
if [ ! -d /opt/tmp/disp ]
then
        mkdir $TEMPFOLDER
fi
cd $TEMPFOLDER

# listing of displays to be converted
disp='/usr/disp/disp1
/usr/disp/disp2
/usr/disp/disp3
/usr/disp/disp4'

for i in $disp
do
        # Echo Display name
        echo " Now  printing $i"

        # Display process graphic on DM $DMName
        $Pref_tool -$DMName dmcmd $i

        # Give DM some time to find connections
        sleep $SleepTime

        # Display process graphic name in message line
        $Pref_tool -$DMName dmcmd 'dmcmd msglin "[$ST0]"'
        sleep $SleepTime

        # extract display name
        dispname=`basename $i`

        # Dump display as X windows dump
        $Xdump -name "FOXBORO: Display Manager  $LBug:$DMName" -out
${TEMPFOLDER}/${dispname}.Xwd

        # Convert to portable bitmap format
        $Xconv ${TEMPFOLDER}/${dispname}.Xwd > ${TEMPFOLDER}/${dispname}.ppm

        # Delete X windows dump
        rm ${TEMPFOLDER}/${dispname}.Xwd
done

Have fun
