    What I have right now isn't smooth, and crashes a lot

    I wonder if there is a good x server test suite
    like "this server passes 51% of functional tests"
    "Container environment" - are you talking about actual container/kernel in browser like http://bellard.org/jslinux/ ?
    aashidham
    @aashidham
    Well, no -- thats a cool project but ultimately useless because it dies when you close the tab
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    Or containers in the server and browser just as remote graphical terminal?
    aashidham
    @aashidham
    ^^Yes
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    With X server most clients will die as well on tab close
    aashidham
    @aashidham
    Except with more than just a single terminal, a full computing environment

    @sidorares
    Clients assume a lot of state on server and most of them unable to persist/re-create that state to ba able to re connect to a new x server
    aashidham
    @aashidham
    What about xpra.org
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    so in that respect vnc/rdp-like approach is better for this
    no state on server, client keeps full screen copy and only shares updates to that screen
    aashidham
    @aashidham
    how are vnc and rdp different? Are there good js implementations for either one? I know about http://kanaka.github.io/noVNC/ but thats it
    I also only want to display the part of the desktop that has the application running, I'm controlling the rest of the website. VNC / RDP display everything, is there any way to limit this?

    @aashidham
    ping?
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    Hey @aashidham still there? I was on a train and now at desktop computer
    with x11vnc you can expose one single particular window
    vnc/rdp are similar, just different protocols
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    xpra looks much more advanced compared to vnc - I think web client for xpra is a way to go for you

    Hi? Can write this line in UTF? X.PolyText8(wid, gcx, 10, 15, ['Привет мир!']);
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    Hi, probably not
    There is PolyText16 as well I think
    But I'd suggest using Render.CreateGlyphSet + Render.AddGlyphs + Render.CompositeGlyphs32
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    or try https://github.com/sidorares/ntk/blob/d3ecd2a6161e091f5a25d6aef8f33bc6c1d173e4/examples/text-rendering.js#L38-L41

    Hi. I'm absolutely new to the X world. I have a basic question: can this module be used to grab a screenshot of a linux display. In my case I need have it as a buffer of pixels and look for specific pattern in it. Thanks a lot in advance!
    Andrey Sidorov
    @sidorares
    hi @kstankov yes, definitely can be used to grab a screenshot
