Rotating an X display

 

Rotating an X display

Does anyone know how to make an X window display rotate 90 degrees such that it's dispayed in portrait mode rather than landscape?

Re: Rotating an X display

per program, on the x-server itself or only one window by redirecting output from x-client to x-server?

Re: Rotating an X display

An application is initiated in a window by a command. I would like the application to start in the rotated position. The window's contents continually update. I read about the randr extension but am not sure if it's supported by Tru64 UNIX. This is an example of the commands I would enter: setenv DISPLAY display:0.1;
xterm. The xterm would appear in window 1 rotated 90 degrees. Does this make sense? I think it would probably be per window.

Re: Rotating an X display

sorry but I've never seen this specially for custom X terminalserver solutions.

The RandR extension (see link)
http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/randr/randr/
is not available for Tru64 nor part of it (not found within the documentation).
