Here is my contribution to NeWS problems: I have a big raster image (1536x2048x8) which I wount to see with the showimage program. But it seems that the time limits are rather small for loading the image: I always get a Proccess: ...... Error: timeout Stack: canvas(1536x2048,unmapped,root,retained) Executing: readcanvas The question is obvious: how can I change the time limits? Any ideas? I went through the manuals and didn't found anything (obviously I missed it !!)

This is documented on page 304 of the red book. The default timeout for NeWS 1.1 is 15 seconds. ______________________________________________________________________ Patrick J.

This is standard PostScript (ie: you'll find it in the Red Book). statusdict begin n setjobtimeout end NeWS 1.1 has a bug that will require you to do a pause after the above code for the new timeout to take effect. The value "n" is in seconds, and 0 set the timeout to infinity. In NeWS this is on a per process basis, so you need to modify showimage itself. Hope this helps, Greg McLaughlin Sun Microsystems Inc.
