Hello group...
I'm trying to use VNC to share my desktop. This causes IDL problems... initially
I can't open a window at all. Then I run "demo", which manages to open a
window, and then I can, but the colours are all screwed (and so are the
colors, for those over the pond...).
I can change colour table a bit, but I think I have a problem because
help,/device says Visual Class: TrueColor (4) and I think I want
psuedo colour.
*Before* I use "demo" to get some kind of window, I find:
wmc> set_plot,'x'
wmc> help,/device
Available Graphics Devices: CGM HP LJ NULL PCL PRINTER PS REGIS TEK X Z
Current graphics device: X
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
% Unsupported X Windows visual (class: StaticGray, depth: 0).
Substituting default (class: <UndefinedVisual>, Depth: 0).
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
which isn't very helpful.
Any advice appreciated.
If its relevant, the IDL is running on Tru64, and the viewer on Tru64 or linux,
with identical results. And I want to be running it under XP at home.
