Thanks again Duc! I should have read the manual better! Well, now I did. I can use the -window option plus the id to get to do what I wanted. Problem is I used xwininfo to get the id. xwininfo made me click the crosshair in a XWindow so that it could tell which window it was. I was looking for a way to do this via scripts. Say shell_script1 fires up win1 and shell_script2 win2. Is there any way to non-interactively let these scripts know the id of what XWin they fired up? Does display return these ids to the calling script? The display manpage further says: "id can be a window id or name. Specify root to select X's root window as the target window." I couldn't get the name option to work either. (that was an alternative solution) What exactly is the name of a Window? I get this from my xwininfo: **************** xwininfo: Window id: 0xa000de "ImageMagick: 2.jpeg" [snip] *************** Can't figure out which one is the name. Tried "ImageMagick: 2.jpeg" and its parts as feed to -window but didn't work. -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
