xcalendar(1) USER COMMANDS 1 October 1991
NAME
xcalendar - calendar with a notebook for X11
SYNTAX
xcalendar [month [year]]
DESCRIPTION
The _x_c_a_l_e_n_d_a_r is a simple interactive calendar program with
a notebook capability. It is built on the X Toolkit and the
Athena Widgets.
If month and year are not provided on the command line they
are assumed to be current.
INTERACTIONS
Clicking the left mouse button on a day will start a text
editor. You can edit and save a text.This text will be
associated with the day. You can later on read and edit this
text when you open the editor for the same day. The text is
saved in a file in the directory ~/Calendar. The editor lets
you also clear an entry associated with a particular day.
You can also scroll through days while in the editor by
clicking on the arrows on either side of the date label. If
an already open day is scrolled to, an appropriate message
is displayed and the editor is brought upin read only mode.
It is also possible to scroll through months in the main
window by clicking on the arrows on either side of the
current date label.
You can highlight all entries in a month by invoking the
function ShowEntries. By default this function is called
when the left mouse button is pressed in the title window
(where month and a year are displayed). Pressing again the
same button will unhighlight the entries.
MISSING FEATURES
To remove all entries in a particular month you have to use
your system's commands. The naming scheme for the files
makes it easy : the command "rm ~/Calendar/xc*sep1988 " on
UNIX(TM) will remove all entries from september 1988. The
facility to do that from the xcalendar should be provided.
One can imagine many other useful features. For example
automatic parsing of the current day entry in search for
appointments to trigger alarms (reminders) at the approriate
time. Well, maybe one day...
RESOURCES
The resource data base lets you alter the visual appearance
of the program. You can change fonts, border widths, labels,
and other resources used by widgets. One use of this
