B.2.1 Defining X-Window Output Node

     

For Unix and DEC-Ultrix machines, a sample command would be:
% setenv DISPLAY sxt2:0
 
% setenv DISPLAY 192.68.162.109:0
For DEC-Ultrix machines, it is possible to use DECNET protocol to create the local X-window. This is not recommeded since it is slow, but if it is necessary, a sample command is:
% setenv DISPLAY sag::0

% setenv DISPLAY 24707::0
For VMS machines, a sample command would be:
$ set display/create/super/node=sxt2

$ set display/create/super/node=sxt2/transport=tcpip
It is possible to issue the ``setenv DISPLAY'' command from within IDL by using the routine SETDISP (if the user forgets prior to starting IDL). A sample call would be:
IDL> setdisp, '192.68.162.109:0'
