I have asked a similar question in different forums, so if you use X and think you've seen this question before you probably have. We're considering using NeWS 2.0 under OpenWindows 1.0 for imaging. Because of the way Sun has implemented OpenWindows, the StaticColor visual is the default, and if we specify our own colors in the PseudoColor visual, then when the cursor moves out of the display window the colors change as one colormap is uninstalled and the other installed. This, at least, is the way things work with X. Are things any different under NeWS? If so, please send mail and let me know. It doesn't seem from the documentation that they are but if there is some clever things one can do in NeWS to define a different color map and keep it when the cursor leaves the window, we'd like to know. -- Alan # "But seriously, what could go wrong?" ..!cit-vax!elroy!alan alan@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov
