Graphic Interface

Vulcan uses the same graphic interface as Flat.1.4 In order to use the Flat display
add /u/robot/flat-root/flat5 to your CLASSPATH.
You have to specify the host and port where the display is running. The variable *display-host* and *display-port* contain this information. For example,
(define *display-host* "shadow.csres.utexas.edu")
(define *display-port* 1097)
specify that the display will be running on shadow accepting connections on port 1097. The *display-host* should be a machine different from Vulcan.

Notice: Starting a server or the display on the same host/port as somebodyelse will cause a problem. Please contact robotics@cs.utexas.edu to check what ports should be used.

If you do not want to use this graphic interface, set the variable *use-display* to #f.
