For instance, if you're using an SGI machine with IRIX 3.3 by default, the X server is started so that there are only 16 read/write colormap cells for an 8-plane machine. The rest are "preserved" for GL clients. For a sample colormap program, try my cpicker application which dynamically modifies the installed colormap. It installs a new colormap for an application window, and manipulates its entries. Last time I checked, cpicker was available on expo.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib directory as cpicker.tar.Z. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Silicon Graphics, Inc. mikey@sgi.com 415/335-1786
