You can choose which terminal emulator to use by setting the AIPS_TEK_EMULATOR environment variable before starting AIPS. The terminal emulator should support Tektronix-compatible graphics. Possible values include the following. xterm The terminal emulator that comes with MIT's X Window System distribution. This is available on most machines but may be unsupported or optional software. It is usually the safest choice if you switch between machines running different versions of UNIX. This is the default. none No terminal emulator (TEKSRV will not run). Customization: You can use the X Window System resource mechanism to customize the colours used by the message server, the initial position in which it appears and so on. You usually specify the resources by typing them into a file that lives in your home directory and is called either .Xdefaults or .Xresources (the usual rule is that you use .Xdefaults if you start the window system with a special command after loggin in and .Xresources if you log in through a special window but there are exceptions: consult your system manager if you are not sure which to use). The resources from this file are automatically loaded into the window system when you start it. You can also force new values to be loaded with the xrdb command. For example: xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults Resource names for the message window begin with AIPStek. The actual resources available depend on the terminal emulator you are using. You should consult your system documentation for a complete list but the more important ones for the common terminal types are given below. More information about X Window System customization can be found in the X Window System User's Guide published by O'Reilly and Associates, and other X11 references. Note that you do not need to set any resources for TEKSERVER to work. Resources for xterm: AIPStek*background Background colour (eg. navy) AIPStek*foreground Foreground colour (eg. yellow) AIPStek*iconGeometry Where to place the icon. The value should be a standard geometry specification (eg. +100+100). Setting this resource is not recommended if you use the OPEN LOOK or Motif window managers. AIPStek*iconName The name to place under the icon. AIPStek*iconStartup If set to True then TEKSERVER will be started in iconic form AIPStek*geometry The initial size and placement of the message window. AIPStek*scrollBar Set to True to turn the scroll bar on; set to False to turn it off. AIPStek*tekInhibit If True disallow Tektronix mode (set to False) Recommended settings are: AIPStek*iconName: TEKSERVER AIPStek*scrollBar: False AIPStek*tekInhibit: False
