VMS/IRAF Installation and Site Manager's Guide

6. Vector Graphics and Image Display using X Windows

In this section we discuss some DECwindows/VMS and Motif/VMS (X window system) utilities for use with IRAF running on VMS workstations. Further information can be found in the file 0readme in the [IRAF.VMS.X11] directory. Note that VMS/IRAF can also be used with an X user interface running on a remote UNIX workstation, with only VMS/IRAF running on the VMS host. This section is relevant only if you need to run the X clients directly on a VMS host. We discuss only xterm and saoimage here since these were the only X clients available for graphics and image display at the time this was written, but newer facilties may be available before this document is again revised. Check with the IRAF group for more current information on support for graphics and imaging under the X window system.
