How to create GIF buttons.
In WDB you can add your own menu buttons to the default WDB menu using the add_menu function. If you would like to create your own GIF buttons with a Motif look - and you have Tcl/Tk installed you can use the following procedure :
% wishx
wishx>button .b -text "Example" -bg gray
wishx>pack .b
... And from a different window ...
% xwd|xwdtopnm|ppmtogif>example.gif
- And click on the Tcl/Tk button you just created.
If you want your button to have transparent background ( - so it also looks nice on browsers that doesn't have gray background ), you can use the following procedure :
% xv example.gif ..... Find color map entry # for bg col (starting with 0)
% gif-trans -t # example.gif>example_btn.gif
