Subject: Sending a region to another X application
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:27:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k361kgmm.fsf@vsl28t2g.ww011> (raw)
Hello (),
I've written a major mode (https://code.google.com/p/ansys-mode/) for an
obscure programming language (APDL
http://www.ansys.com/Support/Training+Center/Courses/Introduction+to+ANSYS+Mechanical+APDL)
which is used to automate finite element simulations.
At the moment the user is "copy and pasting" code snippets from an Emacs
buffer to the TCL/TK application's "command" text field. The Emacs mode
would be more helpful if one could directly "send" code fragments with a
key binding to the application.
I've no experience with GUI programming and the only idea I've got from
internet investigations, so far, is to utilise an external C program for
sending the data over the X server with the help of libraries like Xlib
or XCB, but there seems to be little documentation. Do you have a
better idea or is this the easiest way to go?
Dieter
