DESCRIPTION
tektool
emulates a Tektronix 4014 terminal with the enhanced graphics
module.
It does this in much the same way as shelltool (see
shelltool.1
emulates a regular glass tty. When
tektool
is invoked, a command (usually a shell) is started up,
its output and input are connected to the emulator, and a new
window is formed.
The default window is the entire screen.
When the emulator is running, keys
TF(1)
through
TF(3),
(usually function keys F1-F3 (see
kbd.4s
have special meaning.
- TF (1)
-
Unshifted, this is the 4014
PAGE
button.
Shifted, this is the 4014
RESET
button.
- TF (2)
-
Copy screen.
The raster image
(<rasterfile.h>)
of the 4014 screen is piped
to a command found in the
TEKCOPY
environment variable.
If
TEKCOPY
is not found in the environment,
`lpr -v'
is used.
The copy button is unaffected by window manipulations, and will transmit
the contents of the 4014 screen only.
- TF (3)
-
Release page full condition.
These functions are also available through the tool menu.
When in graphics input (GIN) mode
and the 4014 crosshairs are visible,
the left hand mouse button may be used as
the space bar to terminate
GIN
mode.
OPTIONS
- -s
-
Specifies the Tektronix 4014 strap options with the following modifiers:
-
- l
-
Received
LINEFEED
characters also generate
RETURN
characters.
- c
-
Received
RETURN
characters also generate
LINEFEED
characters.
- d
-
Received
DELETE
characters are used as low order Y axis (
LOY
) addresses.
- e
-
Echo keyboard input.
- g
-
Graphic input mode
(GIN) terminator
specification. If this strap is followed by a
c,
GIN
mode data is terminated by a
RETURN
character.
If it is followed by a
e,
GIN
mode data is terminated by a
RETURN
character followed by an
EOT
character. If this strap is not present, no
characters are sent after
GIN
mode data.
- m
-
Page full control specification.
If this strap is followed by a
1,
tektool
will stop accepting tty input when a
LINEFEED
character is done past the last line in margin 1.
This is the 4014 page full condition.
The page full condition it released by a
PAGE
or a
RELEASE
or any
ASCII
keyboard input.
If this strap is followed by a
2,
the page full condition happens at
the end of margin 2.
If this strap is not present, the page full condition never occurs.
If the
-s
option is not given, the environment is searched for the
TEKSTRAPS
variable which provides the modifiers.
The straps may also be set by the property sheet available by selecting the
PROPS
menu item.
If no straps are specified the
d
strap is assumed.
- -c command-line
-
Take terminal emulator input from a shell which in turn runs the
command-line
following the
-c
option.
- -f fontdir
-
Look for fonts in the directory specified by
fontdir.
The fonts must be called
tekfont0
through
tekfont3.
Fonts must be in
vfont.5
format. If this option is not given,
the font directory is obtained from the
TEKFONTS
environment variable (if it exists).
If no font directory is specified,
/usr/lib/fonts/tekfonts
is used.
- -r command-line
-
Run
command-line
to provide input to the terminal emulator.
This must be the last option, since the remainder of the arguments are used
by the command.
FILES
- /usr/lib/fonts/tekfonts/tekfont[0-3]

BUGS
Special point plot mode is not supported.
Z-axis stuff, except for defocusing, is not supported.
Defocused alpha characters are not supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
- copy command failed
-
The copy command in the
TEKCOPY
environment variable or in the property sheet could not be executed.
WARNINGS
Like all 4014 emulators, this does not duplicate every nuance of the 4014.
For instance, certain programs redraw stuff already on the screen in
order to highlight things with the storage flash.
This will not work here.
Also, even though the emulator supports the full 4096 point addressing of the
4014, it cannot display this on the screen.
All points will be rounded to the nearest available pixel.
This may cause some funny effects.
The
tektool
window may be treated just like other windows;
it can be overlaid, moved, reshaped etc.
However, when the window is reshaped, the contents will not scale.
