Very Tiny Xclock programme?
 
Hello,

I have several xclock (x11 clock) from GIT, but I am still looking for the tiniest one.

I would like of course to learn from it, and it has a learning step for me in mind.

Would you have a tiny xclock in mind, whatever analog or digital, the tiniest the best.

The idea would to put it down, as well, as does the xlock (x11 by default). xclock -digital -geometry -0-0

Thank you.

why do you not get the source code for the smallest one you got, then find the dimensions and change them to make it smaller, then recompile it?

apt-get source x11-apps
and into xclock

I changed one part of Clock.c to the following:
Quote:
static char *
TimeString (ClockWidget w, struct tm *tm)
{
static char brief[6];
sprintf (brief, "TEST %02d:%02d", tm->tm_hour, tm->tm_min);
return brief;
}
loaded with xclock -digital -geometry -0-0

it gives what I want.

I wonder why such a simple clock, digital, in less than 150 -1000 lines is not yet existing. This is a simple X11 lib use and gcc.

300 lines, including empty lines, nice formatting, and a summary of the GPL.
i'm sure you could squeeze that to less than 150.

likely, pitty that it is not so simpler, ... just x11 text...

Anytime, thank you very muuccccchhh

Strange that there isnt a tiny simple clock for education prgramming purpose, yet (sprintf), since Xfree86 and co. exists.

eg:
Code:
        XFillRectangle(d, w, DefaultGC(d, s), 20, 20, 10, 10);
        XDrawString(d, w, DefaultGC(d, s), 10, 50, msgtime , strlen(msgtime));
        usleep( 20e-6 );
