More information on the demonstration programs is included in Section 1 of
the on-line U

9.1.2 Using the Mouse with the Window Manager
There are three buttons on the mouse. They are named LEFTMOUSE,
MIDDLEMOUSE, and RIGHTMOUSE. Almost all the window manager
functions can be controlled by the mouse x-y valuators and the RIGHTMOUSE.
Before continuing, make sure you understand how to use the mouse to
communicate with windows. This information is located in the IRIS User’s
Guide, Version 2.1 in the section called “The Default User Interface to the
Window Manager”. Pay special attention to the subsection called “Creating
new textports and selecting textports for input”, which tells how to select a
window for interaction (“attach” to a window), and exit a window.
9.1.3 Window Manager Demonstration Programs
The demonstration programs described in this section fall into three main
groups.
• 2D demonstration programs illustrate how the window manager works and
provide instruction on the color-handling capabilities of the IRIS.
• 3D object manipulation demonstration programs include arch , flow , heme , jet ,
and shuttle . These programs move 3D objects around. The IRIS can
perform simultaneous manipulation of different 3D objects in independent
windows.
• Shaded object and curved surface demonstration programs illustrate shading
and surface treatment on the IRIS.
Window manager demonstration programs require a large number of bitplanes.
flow requires 12; arch , heme , jet , shuttle , and surface editors require 24; zshade
requires 32.
