NAME
dclock - digital clock SYNOPSIS
dclock [ -cmjd ] [ -sslant ] [ -tthickness ] [ -frate ] DESCRIPTION
Dclock displays a scalable digital clock. The time is updated from the local host clock every minute as a background process. The current date is displayed across the top of the window in the format Sat Aug 16 1986 (or some subset of such if there's not enough room). Options to control the clock's appearance, size and placement are as follows: -c Display in 12-hour format ("civilian" time) -- the default. -m Display in 24-hour format ("military" time). -j "John's flag." Puts a tail on the digit `9'. -d Do not display the current date across the top of the clock view. -b Display a border (horizontal line) between the date string and the time display. -T Do not display the Time in the clock view (leaving just the date). -sslant Set the slant of the digits. A slant of 100 (the maximum) corresponds to a slant of one digit width. A slant of 0 (the minimum) is vertical. Default is -s30. A special form is -s, which is equivalent to -s0. -tthickness Set the thickness of the digit segments. Allowable values are between 5 and 25. A thickness of 25 results in segments which are one quarter (25%) of the digit width. Default is -t15. -frate Set the rate at which the segments fade when the time changes. A value of 0 is fastest and 4 is slowest. Default is -f4. A special form is -f, which is equivalent to -f0. To exit dclock, type a `q' in the window. dclock(1)

NAME
clock - display the time in an icon or window SYNOPSIS
clock AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the OpenWindows environment. For information about installing OpenWindows, refer to the OpenWindows Instal- lation and Start-Up Guide. DESCRIPTION
clock is an OpenWindows XView utility that displays the current time in a window or icon. When the window is open, clock can display the time in either analog or digital format. The clock window is scalable in either format. USAGE
When the clock window is open, it has a floating menu from which you can bring up a property window. From this property sheet, you can modify the display of the tool by selecting either the Analog or Digital choice box. Seconds: On the analog version, this selection starts a second hand on the face of the clock. On the digital version, it adds two dig- its to the digital readout. Date: Turns on a date display for both analog and digital versions of clock. BUGS
If you reset the system time, clock will not reflect the new time until you change its window state from open to icon, or vice versa. To reset the system time, see date (1V). The date display does not go well with the round clock face. Occasionally, when clock is uncovered, the face will be visually corrupted. Use the Refresh button from the frame menu to repair. 11 June 1990 CLOCK(1)
