Hi all,
I am a newbie in IDL. I have IDL 5.01 student Version on my SuSE linux
5.3 and I have a problem with making plots. When I start IDL, I get the
"IDL Development Window". But when I try to practice and play with the
synatx, I get the following error for making plots:
IDL> num =FLTARR(40)
IDL> line=SIN(num*!DTOR)
IDL> Plot, line
% Unsupported X Windows visual (class: StaticGray, depth: 0).
Substituting default (class: <UndefinedVisual>, Depth: 0).
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
I have no problem with GUI stuff in any other application on my machine.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
Many Thanks,
--

Yep, this is the exact error I would get while running
in 16-bit mode. A pain IDL doesn't support it.
