I have added a "-windowid windowid" flag to xv so that you can choose an X
display to display xv window's on to.  The advantage of this is
that you can use it now in conjunction with "plugger 3.2" which
lets you pick applications to use as plugins for Netscape.

In addition, I added a new "-rmode 10" - root mode 10, which just puts
a single copy of the picture in the upper left hand corner of
the DISPLAY.  I had to do this so that it would look good in a browser.

The plugger home page is:
http://www.hubbe.net/~hubbe/plugger.html

The test page is:
http://www.hubbe.net/~hubbe/plugger/test.html

I tested using xv to DISPLAY a TIFF image, and a Sun raster image
into a frame of a Netscape browser.

Here is some of the plugger configuration code I used:

image/tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image
image/x-tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image
image/sun-raster: rs: SUN raster image
image/x-sun-raster: rs: SUN raster image
        : xv -rmode 10 -windowid $window $file -quit
image/png: png: PNG image
image/x-png: png: PNG image
        : xv -rmode 10 -windowid $window $file -quit

I have contacted the author the "Plugger 3.2" to let him know that
this new option will soon be available as a patch for xv, but I'd
like to put up the changes directly on your site.

I have included the patches with this email.  Please let me know

* if you can apply them with no problems

* if the code looks clean (up to your standards)


Note that if you just change the setup code slightly for plugger:
	: xv -windowid $window $file

You can have a fully functioning xv program in a Netscape browser.
You can even right click to bring up xv's controls, etc..

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

-Dave
