PADDRAW SAMPLE APPLICATION
Startup Files
When PadDraw starts up, several different kinds of files are loaded that control the look of PadDraw, as well as defining more specific things. Some of these files come with the Pad++ distribution, and some are available for individual customization. They are loaded after the Pad++ System file ~/.padinit, in the following order:
- padrc - Distribution file: Contains X resource file. Specifies default colors, sizes, and fonts for system in standard X resource file format.
- ~/.padrc - Customization file: Put your own changes to the X resource file here. They will override any definitions in the padrc file.
- paddefaults - Distribution file: Contains Tcl code. Specifies defaults for the PadDraw application, including colors.
- ~/.padsetup - Program generated file: Do Not Modify! This is used to store information about the setup of PadDraw between runs. For instance, the visibility and geometry of tool palettes are stored here.
- ~/.paddefaults - Customization file: Put your own changes to the paddefaults here. They will override any definitions in the paddefaults file. For example, your could redefine the color palette.
