Re: x11 terminal activation

[Jacques B. <jac...@no...>]

Hello Ethan,
Thanks for your answer.

So if I understand well, several X11 terminals may be displayed but only 
  the last one is really _alive_, ie will react properly to mouse events 
(pause command triggering, zooming, etc.). With the other X11 terminals, 
you can only:
- resize the window
- have the current mouse coordinates displayed (but not with a 
configurable format)

If there were a way to trigger the pause command from a non-active X11 
terminal (and then to know its id), it would be possible to activate it 
(by replotting it).

So right now, I can't display several graphs each in an _interactive_ 
X11 terminal. I use a single X11 terminal to view several graphs one by 
one, and I switch between them with the keyboard:

n=1
nplots=...
load dem.n
bind Home     "n=1; load dem.n"
bind End      "n=nplots; load dem.n"
bind PageDown "n=n+1; if(n>nplots)n=1; load dem.n; else load dem.n"
bind PageUp   "n=n-1; if(n<1)n=nplots; load dem.n; else load dem.n"
pause -1
