In article <9301082259.AA16974@questercorp> stephen@tangent1.UUCP (Stephen McKay) writes: I have created a DrawArea widget under motif and have colored the foreground of this region using Xcolor "DeepSkyBlue". The problem comes when I want to select the foreground color to use with rubberbanding. ie. a rectangle. What is the method fo selecting a foreground (x) color that when used with Xor, displays the desired color (y)? Note: If the DrawArea is XFillRectangle with "DeepSkyBlue" and I draw a line with logical function GXxor and foreground color = "White", the color of the line drawn is "DeepSkyBlue". This is probably in the FAQ, you need to set plane_mask to the OR of the two colors involved. A detailed description exists in at least the O'Reilly books. The short explanation is that XOR xors all the pixel bits and the result had better be a valid pixel value. -- Douglas S. Rand <drand@osf.org> OSF/Motif Dev.
