As my first X application I present xodometer, which tracks the total distance
your cursor and pointing device (typically a mouse) travel. It also maintains
"trip" distance since the application started or since you clicked on a trip
reset button.
A pull-down menu allows you to select in which units the distance is
displayed, from millimeters to nautical miles to light-nanoseconds, and more.
xodometer requires a one-time calibration procedure which is fully described
by reading the man page or by entering "xodo -full_help".
xodometer was inspired by the Macintosh Mouse Odometer program written by
Sean P. Nolan, while xneko by Masayuki Koba provided my initial insights into
writing X programs.
I've recently updated it to work on Linux 1.2.13. It can be found at:
ftp.lehigh.edu:pub/odometers/xodo/xodo12/xodo-1.2.tar.gz
tsx-11.mit.edu:pub/linux/sources/usr.bin.X11/xodo-1.2.tar.gz
xodo-1.2.README
xodo-1.2.LSM
and soon at sunsite.
