[TUHS] dwb picasso

[Steve Simon]

Anyone remember picasso, a vector graphics GUI app
that generated pic(1) source?

I know nothing of it, anyone got a screenshot even?

is the source available?

was its frontend X11 or blit terminal?

Was it related to the blit cip and xcip tools
or are they a different genus?

Thanks for any info.

Yup. Pic & PostScript (and a mix of the two).

Screen shots are in the DWB 3.4 distribution I seem to remember.

Not that I know.

It was/is an X11 (Open Look) as far as I remember.

I believe cip was the original inspiration.

Is the DWB 3.4 stuff available anywhere? IIRC, DWB 3.3 was released
under the CPL, but 3.4 seems to be orphaned/lost.

Actually the core engine (though not the actual GUI app) seems to be
in the CPL release of DWB at http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/

The manual for Picasso in the docs/ folder seems to make reference to
the Open Look version, but all I can find in terms of source code is
the batch/CLI version.

I have a hard copy of the DWB 3.4 manuals. The whole distribution was for sale.
Googling for it I found <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/text-faq/section-28.html>.
I don't think that the email or phone still works.

It was in definitely in DWB 3.4. Nils-Peter Nelson and his crew produced it.

picasso seems to be part of the DocumentWorkBench which is now freely 
available from AT&T Software Technology :

http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/cgi-bin/download.cgi?action=list&name=dwb

here is the manual page :

         PICASSO(1)           UNIX System V (DWB 3.2)           PICASSO(1)



         NAME
              picasso - a line drawing program

         SYNOPSIS
              picasso [ -bsize -Fpath -Tfonttables -Ipath -ln -Mn -mmargin
              -pmxn -txL ]  [ - ]  [ files ]

         DESCRIPTION
              picasso is a processor for a pic-like drawing language that
              produces PostScript output.  By default, this output is
              scaled to fit an 8 by 10 inch print area, and centered on
              the page.
...

compiles well under cygwin w/ the following patch :

ftp://cyrillelefevre.free.fr/dwb/dwb.1993-02-04.patch.bz2

This looks like the batch version of Picasso rather than the
interactive version. Clearly the basic engine is there, but it looks
like the fun part (the GUI) is MIA.

Hello!
When I replied to your posting, via my other e-mail address, several days
ago.... I meant not your site. I meant the one from AT&T. I kept checking it
each time the subject came up. Each time it registered a complaint.

Hello!
It must have been my believing in things that most people don't want to
believe are a certainty, because the site is now up. I've downloaded them.
Both your patch and the package.

Now what do I do next with the patch? Extract it and apply it to the source
code? And then follow the usual steps for building stuff on Cygwin I should
imagine.(?)

well, things changes since last year...

wget http://cyrillelefevre.free.fr/dwb/dwb.1993-02-04.2011-05-29.patch.bz2

mkdir dwb.1993-02-04
cd dwb.1993-02-04
tar xf ../dwb.1993-02-04.tgz
bzcat ../dwb.1993-02-04.patch.bz2 | patch -p1
make -j 1 -f dwb.mk all install

should make it ?

results in /opt/dwb

PS : under cygwin, patch come from patchutils
