Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
util::Thread * prapi::XWindows::display (  const util::Matrix< T > &    img,
bool    waitUserInput = false,
std::string    title = "PRAPI Image Display"
)  throw (XException&) [static]
 

Display an image on an X window.

A window is created on the default display, with its default visual. If the waitUserInput flag is set to true, the call blocks until a key or a mouse button is pressed, and NULL is returned. If it is false, a separate thread is created, which waits until the window closes. A pointer to this thread is returned. The caller is responsible for joining the thread (Thread::join()) and for deleting the pointer. An exception is thrown if an error occurs. Make sure that the depth of the given color (or gray-scale) values is eight bits. An example: 

 Matrix<Color<int,3> > clrImg(...);
 Thread* thread = XWindows::display(clrImg);
 thread.join();
 delete thread;
Parameters:
img  the image to be displayed
waitUserInput  if true, the call blocks and returns NULL.
title  the title of the display window Otherwise, it does not block and returns a pointer to a thread.
