Originally posted by: JHJ Loaring Can anyone help ? I have written an X-Window/MOTIF program in C which is statically linked to pv-wave ( I use cwavec). This program animates objects by repeatedly drawing the (simple) shape using the XOR mode. This works fine *but* the colours come out pasty. The program only needs to use 8 colours RGBCMYW (cos they print nicely!). I think the problem lies in X-Window colour maps and the answer may well be to do with allocating colour planes but I haven't a clue as to what is involved. Hoping someone can crack this...
