This is the README file for tgif's export-filters samples.  A copy of this
file is at:

    ftp://bourbon.cs.umd.edu/pub/tgif/misc/export-filters/README

Tgif's export-filters samples can be found in:

    ftp://bourbon.cs.umd.edu/pub/tgif/misc/export-filters/export-filters.tar.gz


Please put export-filters.tar.gz in tgif's source directory (for example,
/home/you/tgif-4.0.1) and do:

    gunzip -c export-filters.tar.gz | tar xvf -

This will create , e.g.,

    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters
    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/foo
    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/bar

By default, "export-filters/Export.tmpl" is a symbolic link to
"export-filters/Export.tmpl-linux".  If you are not using Linux,
you should create a symbolic link to the correct file.  For example,
if you are using Solaris, do:

    cd export-filters
    rm Export.tmpl
    ln -s Export.tmpl-solaris Export.tmpl
    cd ..

Now do:

1)  cd export-filters
    xmkmf
    make Makefile
    make Makefiles
    make depend
    make all

2)  this will create:

    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/foo/libfoo.so.1
    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/bar/libbar.so.1

3)  Add the following lines to your X resource file:

    Tgif.MaxExportFilters: 2
    Tgif.ExportFilter0:    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/foo/libfoo.so.1
    Tgif.ExportFilter1:    /home/you/tgif-4.0.1/export-filters/bar/libbar.so.1

4)  When you start tgif the next time, you should see the following:

    a)  The following will be printed in the console when libfoo.so.1
        initializes:

            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_INIT.
            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_GET_PROTOCOL_VERSION.
            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_LOAD.

    b)  libfoo.so.1 calls Dialog() to ask you to "Input something".

        At this time you can type "Hello", the libfoo.so.1 will call
        MsgBox() to display "Hello".

    c)  The following will be printed in the console when libbar.so.1
        initializes:

            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_INIT.
            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_GET_PROTOCOL_VERSION.
            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_LOAD.

    d)  libbar.so.1 calls Dialog() to ask you to "Input something".

        At this time you can type "Bye", the libbar.so.1 will call
        MsgBox() to display "Bye".

    e)  After tgif comes up, go into text mode and enter:

            Hello World
            Bye Now

        Save the file into, for example, hello.obj.

        Select FOO from the Print/ExportFormat Submenu of the File Menu and
        select Print() from the File Menu.  The following will be printed in
        the console:

            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_DO_EXPORT.

        A file named "hello.cfo" will be generated and it's should be empty
        because libfoo.so.1 is a dummy and doesn't really export anything.

        Select BAR from the Print/ExportFormat Submenu of the File Menu and
        select Print() from the File Menu.  The following will be printed in
        the console:

            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_DO_EXPORT.

        A file named "hello.cba" will be generated and it's should contain
        the text you entered.

    f)  When you exit tgif, the following will be printed in the console
        during unloading and cleaning up:

            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_UNLOAD.
            FOO: Got TGEF_MSG_CLEANUP.
            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_UNLOAD.
            BAR: Got TGEF_MSG_CLEANUP.
