Ron,
There's a new version, StripTool-2-4-b7, at
ftp://ftp.jlab.org/pub/epics/stripTool which fixes this
problem. Albert Kagarmanov at DESY had noticed this
quite some time ago, and also supplied the fix.
This newer version also handles out-of-memory conditions
on the X server more gracefully, which allows you to
recover if, for example, you resize the window when there
is not enough server memory to create an appropriately-sized
pixmap. In previous versions, the X toolkit would simply cause
the program to exit. Now you'll get a message indicating the
problem so that you can restore the window to its previous
(non-pixmap-hoggin') size.
Additionally, this code provides greater configurability
via X resources. In addition to the standard X resource
handling, you can create site and user-specific defaults
files to configure such things as axis and legend fonts,
X-axis tic strategy, and various other things. Look at the
file StripFallbacks.h for some other resources. The site
default file can be set by an environment variable,
$STRIP_SITE_DEFAULTS, and the user file is ~/.StripToolrc.
Thanks for the feedback. FYI, here are the things which
I want to accomplish before calling this a "release" (i.e.
non-beta) version:
1. redraw code optimized for large data sets
2. verify interoperation with archiver
3. On-line user's documentation (also, coder's documentation
for history "plug-in")
4. explicit buffer settings (memory / timespan), separate from
actual display range
5. some more testing
Chris
