Hi Folks,
Is there a straightfoward way to get IDL to display an image on the
root window of an X display?
I have something in mind along the lines of xloadimage -onroot
Alternatively, is there a way to open an IDL window with no borders
or title bar?
Finally, is there a way to open an IDL window on an alternate
display? Again, I have something
in mind along the lines of xloadimage -onroot -display :0.1 .
Thanks in advance,
David
P.S. My problem getting IDL 5.3/5.4 to work under Mandrake Linux 7.2
isn't solved yet.
RSI suggested switching to RedHat 7.0, but I'm looking for a better
solution.
