NAME

       WMSPACEWEATHER - Dockable Space Weather Monitor

SYNOPSIS

       wmSpaceWeather [-h] [-display <Display>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmSpaceWeather  is  a  space  weather  monitor. The monitor shows: 2 relativistic electron and 3 relativistic proton flux levels at geosyn-
       cronous orbit (currently from the NOAA GOES spacecraft), current Solar Flare X-ray flux, and the last 8 3-hour Kp index values.

       Large fluxes of relativistic (aka `Killer') electrons can cause harmful `deep-dielectric' charging/discharging  events  inside  satellites.
       High  proton fluxes (`Solar Energetic Proton' or SEP events) can cause single event upsets in satellite electronics. The Kp index is a mea-
       sure of how disturbed the Earth's magnetic field has been over a 3-hour interval. Kp can range from 0-9, where 0 is quiet  and  9  is  very
       disturbed.  The	Kp  values  shown are the 8 previous values (i.e. the last 24 hours). If the display is up-to-date, the LED next to the Kp
       bars will flash blue. If the display is not up-to-date, the LED will flash orange.

NAME

       WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS

       wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmGrabImage  is	a  WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW.  The image to monitor is
       specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes.  The  update  interval  can	be
       overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).

       Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

       Left Mouse:
	      Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

       Middle Mouse:
	      Sends  a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process
	      if there arent any running.

       Right Mouse:
	      Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display [display]
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -url <Image URL>
	      The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

       -http <URL>
	      The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

       -c     Center the image vertically within the icon.

       -delay <Time>
	      The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

FILES

       The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO

       wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS

       Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a  memory  leak
       -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
