The changes are straight-forward and +almost can be done automatically (we used editor macros for most of +the conversion). +<UL> +<P> +<LI>The existence of the cpp XPA_VERSION directive to distinguish between 1.0 +(where it is not defined) and 2.0 (where it is defined). + +<P> +<LI>Remove the first widget argument from all send and receive server +callbacks. Also change first 2 arguments from XtPointer to void +*.

They now should return 0 for no errors, -1 for error. + +<P> +<LI> The mode flags have changed when defining XPA server callbacks. +The old <EM>S</EM> flag (save buffer) is replaced by <EM>freebuf=false</EM>. +The old <EM>E</EM> flag (empty buffer is OK) is no longer used (it +was an artifact of the X implementation). + +<P> +<LI>Change NewXPACommand() to XPAcmdNew(), with the new calling sequence: +<PRE> + xpa = NewXPACommand(toplevel, NULL, prefix, NULL); +</PRE> +is changed to: +<PRE> + xpa = XPACmdNew(xclass, name); +</PRE> +<P> +<LI>Change the AddXPACommand() subroutine name to XPACmdAdd (with the same +calling sequence): +<PRE> + AddXPACommand(xpa, "file", + "\tdisplay a new file\n\t\t requires: filename", + NULL, NULL, NULL, XPAReceiveFile, text, NULL); +</PRE> +is changed to: +<PRE> + XPACmdAdd(xpa, "file", + "\tdisplay a new file\n\t\t requires: filename", + NULL, NULL, NULL, XPAReceiveFile, text, NULL); +</PRE> +<P> +<LI>The XPAXtAppInput() routine should be called just before XtAppMainLoop() +to add xpa fds to the Xt event loop: +<PRE> + /* add the xpas to the Xt loop */ + XPAXtAddInput(app, NULL); + + /* process events */ + XtAppMainLoop(app); +</PRE> +<P> +<LI>Change NewXPA() to XPANew() and call XPAXtAddInput() if the XtAppMainLoop +routine already has been entered: +<PRE> + xpa = NewXPA(saotng->xim->toplevel, prefix, xparoot, + "FITS data or image filename\n\t\t options: file type", + XPASendData, new, NULL, + XPAReceiveData, new, "SE"); +</PRE> +is changed to: +<PRE> + sprintf(tbuf, "%s.%s", prefix, xparoot); + xpa = XPANew("SAOTNG", tbuf, + "FITS data or image filename\n\t\t options: file type", + XPASendData, new, NULL, + XPAReceiveData, new, "SE"); + XPAXtAddInput(XtWidgetToApplicationContext(saotng->xim->toplevel), xpa); +</PRE> +<P> +<LI>Change XPAInternalReceiveCommand() to XPACmdInternalReceive() +remove first argument in the calling sequence): +<PRE> + XPAInternalReceiveCommand(im->saotng->xim->toplevel, + im->saotng, im->saotng->commands, + "zoom reset", NULL, 0); +</PRE> +is changed to: +<PRE> + XPACmdInternalReceive(im->saotng, im->saotng->commands, + "zoom reset", NULL, 0); +</PRE> +<P> +<LI>Change DestroyXPA to XPAFree: +<PRE> + DestroyXPA(im->dataxpa); +</PRE> +is changed to: +<PRE> + XPAFree(im->dataxpa); +</PRE> +</UL> + +<!-- =section xpaconvert SEE ALSO --> +<!-- =text See xpa(n) for a list of XPA help pages --> +<!-- =stop --> + +<P> +<A HREF="./help.html">Go to XPA Help Index</A> + +<H5>Last updated: September 10, 2003</H5> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
