FvwmDragWell(1)			 FVWM Modules		       FvwmDragWell(1)

NAME
       FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well

SYNOPSIS
       FvwmDragWell

       FvwmDragWell  is a Xdnd drag well.  The user sends the data and type to
       the drag well via a fvwm SendToModule command.  The drag well indicates
       that  it	 received the information via a crude animation.  The user may
       then drag the information from the well to other applications that sup‐
       port  the  Xdnd	standard.   The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of
       type "text/uri-list".

INITIALIZATION
       During initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info from fvwm's module
       configuration  database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS).	If the
       FvwmDragWell executable is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s FvwmDrag‐
       Well  OtherDragWell,  then  another  module called OtherDragWell can be
       started, with a completely different configuration  than	 FvwmDragWell,
       simply  by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell to OtherDragWell. This way
       multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.

USE
       Data is sent to the module from fvwm using  the	SendToModule  Command.
       The form of the send to module command is:

       SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data

       type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how
       the data will be exported.  The "typestring" string is converted to  an
       XAtom.	The  user  should use standard Mime type strings, all in lower
       case.  Note that the module does no data conversion.

       There is one exception to the above format.  If the datatype string  is
       omitted,	 the  module assumes that the user is passing a file or direc‐
       tory path.  In this case, the string "file://$hostname/"	 is  prepended
       to the data, and the data is exported as type "text/uri-list".

       Examples:

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0

       On hostname saturn, the drag well will convert the data to "file://sat‐
       urn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0" and will  export  the	data  as  type
       "text/uri-list".	 The long form of this command would be

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, \
	    dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8

INVOCATION
       FvwmDragWell  must  be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation
       will work.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it	starts
       up, and looks for certain configuration options:

       *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry
	      Completely  or  partially specifies the Fvwm window location and
	      geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default size is 48x48.

       *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry
	      Specifies the geometry of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell  win‐
	      dow, in the standard X11 notation.  Default is 30x30+9+9

       *FvwmDragWell: Colorset	colorset
	      The  colorset is used for the background and shading of the drag
	      well.  See the man page of FvwmTheme for a description  of  col‐
	      orsets.

       *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color
	      The foreground color.  The default foreground color is grey60.

       *FvwmDragWell: Back Color
	      The background color.  The default background color is black.

       *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color
	      The  shadow  color  of the button relief. The default foreground
	      relief color is grey20.

       *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color
	      The hilight color of the button relief. The  default  background
	      relief color is grey90.
