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

The compress command can be used to compress the files. WinZip knows how to
uncompress it.

Norbert,
Thanks for your help.will try it out and let you know how it goes.
2MB seems a large size to be copied into floppies if the system doesnt 
have a second ethernet port configured.Is there a way out to convert them 
to smaller formats like gif,jpg in the system itself by some scripts?

Thanks & Regards,

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
Norbert
