<H1> Using Icons in TkGoodStuff </H1>
The standard buttons (as used by Biff and Net, and the user-defined
Buttons) may contain icons and/or text. Icons are read in from
files. To specify an icon, you can give the full path name:
<PRE>
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/stopsign.xbm
</PRE>
or just the filename (stopsign.xbm), so long as the file is in a directory in the
icon path (set in the preference manager, by default to a path
containing just the "icons" subdirectory of the tkgoodstuff librarary
directory and the directory /usr/include/X11/pixmaps).
<P>
What sorts of images can tkgoodstuff handle? You can use images that
are bitmaps, xpm's, ppm's, and gif's. More image formats likely will
become "standard" in the future.
<P>
Formerly, you had to compile an additional package to get xpm image
support. Now, this functionality is compiled and installed
automatically at tkgoodstuff installation.
