Use your PCs as X terminals in a network environment --
MI/X works fine as an X terminal emulator.
Make your PC a true X Server and run multiple X clients
from your desktop. MI/X works fine there, too -- after
all, that's why MicroImages developed MI/X in the first
place.
MI/X can be optionally setup to operate in Windows Desktop
(rootless) mode or X Desktop (full-screen) mode.
In Windows Desktop mode each X client window will appear
as a separate window intermixed with any Microsoft windows
which are also open. All MS Window's icons, taskbar, and
other desktop features are still available on this
rootless desktop.
In X Desktop mode a large X window is opened at the size
you specify which can be smaller, equal to, or much larger
than the resolution supported by your display board (see
below for virtual X Desktop operation). All your X client
windows will then appear on this X Desktop. Since MI/X is
simply another Microsoft Windows application, If you want
to access your Windows desktop you can iconify this large
X window or use any of the other methods provided by
Windows.
If you choose to use the X Desktop mode you can make your
desktop or workspace much larger than your current
monitor. All the X client windows you open can then be
positioned anywhere on this virtual desktop. Your
monitor's view area can be repositioned instantly to any
position on this virtual desktop using scroll bars or the
small auxiliary Workspace Overview window which
automatically appears when you set up a virtual X Desktop.
The illustrations below show how MicroImages uses this
virtual X Desktop or workspace to view images and other
map data much larger than the monitor and how the
Workspace Overview window provides a synoptic view of the
X client windows on this desktop and the interactive tools
to move your real view over them.
