NAME
       viewres - graphical class browser for Xt

SYNOPSIS
       viewres [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  viewres  program  displays	a  tree showing the widget class hierarchy of the Athena Widget Set.
       Each node in the tree can be expanded to show the resources that the corresponding class	 adds  (i.e.
       does  not inherit from its parent) when a widget is created.  This application allows the user to vi‐
       sually examine the structure and inherited resources for the Athena Widget Set.

OPTIONS
       Viewres accepts all of the standard toolkit command line options as well as the following:

       -top name
	       This option specifies the name of the highest widget in the hierarchy to	 display.   This  is
	       typically used to limit the display to a subset of the tree.  The default is Object.

       -variable
	       This  option indicates that the widget variable names (as declared in header files) should be
	       displayed in the nodes rather than the widget class name.  This is sometimes useful  to	dis‐
	       tinguish widget classes that share the same name (such as Text).

       -vertical
	       This option indicates that the tree should be displayed top to bottom rather left to right.

VIEW MENU
       The way in which the tree is displayed may be changed through the entries in the View menu:

       Show Variable Names
	       This  entry causes the node labels to be set to the variable names used to declare the corre‐
	       sponding widget class.  This operation may also be performed with the  SetLabelType(variable)
	       translation.

       Show Class Names
	       This  entry  causes  the	 node  labels  to be set to the class names used when specifying re‐
	       sources.	 This operation may also be performed with the SetLabelType(class) translation.

       Layout Horizontal
	       This entry causes the tree to be laid out from left to right.  This  operation  may  also  be
	       performed with the SetOrientation(West) translation.

       Layout Vertical
	       This  entry  causes  the	 tree to be laid out from top to bottom.  This operation may also be
	       performed with the SetOrientation(North) translation.

       Show Resource Boxes
	       This entry expands the selected nodes (see next section) to show	 the  new  widget  and	con‐
	       straint resources.  This operation may also be performed with the Resources(on) translation.

       Hide Resource Boxes
	       This entry removes the resource displays from the selected nodes (usually to conserve space).
	       This operation may also be performed with the Resources(off) translation.

SELECT MENU
       Resources  for  a single widget class can be displayed by clicking Button2 on the corresponding node,
       or by adding the node to the selection list with Button1 and using the Show Resource Boxes  entry  in
       the  View menu.	Since Button1 actually toggles the selection state of a node, clicking on a selected
       node will cause it to be removed from the selected list.

       Collections of nodes may also be selected through the various entries in the Select menu:

       Unselect All
	       This entry removes all nodes from the selection list.  This operation may also  be  performed
	       with the Select(nothing) translation.

       Select All
	       This  entry  adds all nodes to the selection list.  This operation may also be performed with
	       the Select(all) translation.

       Invert All
	       This entry adds unselected nodes to, and removes selected nodes	from,  the  selection  list.
	       This operation may also be performed with the Select(invert) translation.

       Select Parent
	       This  entry  selects the immediate parents of all selected nodes.  This operation may also be
	       performed with the Select(parent) translation.

       Select Ancestors
	       This entry recursively selects all parents of all selected nodes.  This operation may also be
	       performed with the Select(ancestors) translation.

       Select Children
	       This entry selects the immediate children of all selected nodes.	 This operation may also  be
	       performed with the Select(children) translation.

       Select Descendants
	       This  entry  recursively selects all children of all selected nodes.  This operation may also
	       be performed with the Select(descendants) translation.

       Select Has Resources
	       This entry selects all nodes that add new resources (regular or constraint) to  their  corre‐
	       sponding	 widget	 classes.   This  operation may also be performed with the Select(resources)
	       translation.

       Select Shown Resource Boxes
	       This entry selects all nodes whose resource boxes are currently	expanded  (usually  so	that
	       they  can be closed with Hide Resource Boxes).  This operation may also be performed with the
	       Select(shown) translation.

ACTIONS
       The following application actions are provided:

       Quit()
	       This action causes viewres to exit.

       SetLabelType(type)
	       This action sets the node labels to display the widget variable or class names, according  to
	       the argument type.

       SetOrientation(direction)
	       This  action sets the root of the tree to be one of the following areas of the window:  West,
	       North, East, or South.

       Select(what)
	       This action selects the indicated nodes, as described in the VIEW MENU section: nothing (uns‐
	       elects all nodes), invert, parent, ancestors, children, descendants, resources, shown.

       Resources(op)
	       This action turns on, off, or toggles the resource boxes for the selected nodes.	 If  invoked
	       from within one of the nodes (through the keyboard or pointer), only that node is used.
