X applications

An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).

This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of X applications that ship with the X Window System, including: 

 - bitmap,
 - oclock and xclock, graphical clocks;
 - xbiff, a tool which tells you when you have new email;
 - xcalc, a scientific calculator desktop accessory;
 - xclipboard, a tool to manage cut-and-pasted text selections;
 - xconsole, which monitors system console messages;
 - xcursorgen;
 - xditview, a viewer for ditroff output;
 - xedit, a simple text editor for X;
 - xeyes, a demo program in which a pair of eyes track the pointer;
 - xgc, a graphics demo;
 - xload, a monitor for the system load average;
 - xlogo, a demo program that displays the X logo;
 - xmag, which magnifies parts of the X screen;
 - xman, a manual page browser;
 - xmore;
 - xwd, a utility for taking window dumps ("screenshots") of the X session;
 - xwud, a viewer for window dumps created by xwd;
 - Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp, tools for benchmarking graphical
   operations under the X Window System;

The xbiff, xcalc, xconsole and xman programs use bitmap images provided by the xbitmaps package.
