/* Info about creating xface-format images and their history from * various posters snipped */
Anybody know of an X11 program to display these? Should be trivial
to write some kind of macro to pipe the message headers to a script
which weeds out the xface data and passes it to such a program in
whatever way it wants it (read: if someone can show me to such a
program I'll post the macro :p). I did some googling but all I can
find are lists of X-Face:-aware apps and libs to use if you want to
implement xface support in your own programs...nothing that just
specifically displays the picture though.
For that matter, a console version would be workable too, since the
picture is supposed to be monochrome. Course, running it in an xterm
with less than 48x48 dimensions could cause undefined behaviour, but
then bad output is better than no output. :) Just use "X" for the
black pixels and " " for the white ones.
By the way, I don't think I've posted this feature request in a
while, and in fact I may be putting my foot in my mouth since there are
many versions more recent than the (1.2.5i) version I'm using,
but...here's my bi-monthly feature request. :) Please implement the
"uncolor" command for the "header" and "body" objects. Currently, you
can only "uncolor index ...". I'm learning C myself now so maybe if
nobody gets around to it for a while, I'll submit the patch myself (he
said, hoping the idea of a neophyte coder submitting patches will
motivate one of the real developers *grin*).
