IDL V3.6 and OSF/1 V3.0 - Color table problems [message #2673] Wed, 24 August 1994 11:57

Hi,

I just upgraded to DEC OSF/1 V3.0 on my Alpha workstation and I
noticed that I have difficulty loading color tables now. To be fair, I
did not test this under OSF/1 V2.0 after upgrading to IDL V3.6. Anyway,
If I do the following in IDL

window,colors=200
loadct,10
bar = bindgen(256,20)
tv,bar

I get a window with a "color bar" in it, however, the colors are not
what I should get after loading color table #10. Also, I cannot seem to
get the plot window to be the "active" window anymore (which I normally
had to do in order to activate my private color table). I do know that
getting the current plot window to become "active" (through WSHOW or
clicking on it) was not a problem under OSF/1 V2.0 so I suspect the
problem lies with my upgrade to OSF/1 V3.0 . Checking !d.n_colors
indicates that I do have 200 color table entries at my disposal.

Anyone else run into this problem? What is the cause and what
is the fix for this? Until I get wind of a fix for this I would advise
against upgrading to V3.0 of OSF/1.

I'll keep you posted on this.
