Fortran bindings for GL Font Manager ever?

I have a user that wonders if there are any plans to have Fortran bindings
for the GL font manager routines.

Any takers?

Thanks.

xv-2.21 is in the X11 contrib area on export.lcs.mit.edu (and
presumably its mirror sites) and compiles cleanly on the IRIS (just
use xmkmf). The latest version reads GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM and others.
It only displays 8bit colormap, though.

Help, I have this script that ftps a  place and gets
a .gif of the updated weather map.

I want to put that as a background to the screen.

But I don't have a .gif reader :(

Does anybody else put weather maps on their screen ?
How do I get a .tiff file or a .gif reader for Iris 4.05 ?

This isn't exactly an answer, but if you have the image tools
installed, you should be able to convert GIF files to various
other formats.  On recent versions of the software, the image
tools are an inst'able package, eoe2.sw.imagetools.

You can use "fromgif" to translate GIF files to SGI RGB files,
and "totiff" to translate SGI RGB files to TIFF:

fromgif file.gif file.rgb
totiff file.rgb file.tiff

You can display SGI RGB files with "ipaste."  I think that
"bgpaste," which will let you display an RGB file as a background,
is also part of the image tools.

XV, as a previous poster mentioned, is also useful for this sort
of thing.

OK
