IDL on 16-bit X display?
type: item
description: I'm getting a funny error when I run XFree86 (OS/2 version) and try to display IDL plots. The error message looks like this: IDL> plot,sin(findgen(100)) % Unsupported X Windows visual (class: StaticGray, depth: 0). Substituting default (class: <UndefinedVisual>, Depth: 0). % Execution halted at: $MAIN$ IDL> If I set XFree86 to run at 8-bit color depth it works fine... as long as I haven't run anything that takes up a lot of colors (mainly Netscape). Interestingly, I can run my PM desktop at 16 bits and display IDL output on it fine using PMX. Anyone know what's going on here?
