  1. GENERAL
  2. WEB is a point-and-click interface for display and interaction with SPIDER images and data. WEB is written in C for the MOTIF/X-WINDOW system. WEB has been developed and tested on SGI computers. If you have a non-SGI computer, you will need a C compiler and MOTIF/X-WINDOW software libraries on your computer to be able to compile and link WEB.

  3. LOADING WEB
  4. Code is distributed on tapes in tar format or on CD-ROM. The distribution takes about 20 MB of disk space, but includes libraries and executables for different systems. Only about 6MB are necessary for the source code and libraries for a single system. To load Web use the following commands:
    cd PARENT-DIR
    (where PARENT-DIR is parent for desired location of WEB)
    mkdir web
    (creates a new sub-directory for WEB, hereafter referred to as WEB_DIR)
    For tape:
    tar xvf "your_tape_device" web
    For CDROM:
    cp -r /CDROM/web/* web
    (assumes your CD_ROM is mounted at /CDROM)
    The following directories will be created:
    PARENT-DIR/src -------- source code, libraries, executables
    PARENT_DIR/docs ------- documentation, html pages
    PARENT_DIR/rgb -------- rgb look-up-tables

  5. INSTALLATION OF WEB
  6. TESTING WEB
  7. To test web use the following command:
    web
    USE MOUSE TO SELECT MENU ITEMS FROM PULL-DOWN MENUS
    Further information on the use of WEB is given in the web manual.

    You may enter the file extension on the command line, e.g.:

    web dat
