I'm using X11 on a Mac OS X (OS 10.3.4), IDL 6.0
If I type:
IDL> iplot, indgen(20)
sometimes I get this error:
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
A system error was detected during tool creation.
The value of this error was:
Unable to create visualization of type IDLitVisNormDataSpace
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
other times I get an almost blank itools window, with no axes, tick
marks, or numbers. the only thing that shows up is a straight line,
which I am presuming is supposed to be the data. The line shows up in
the upper right hand corner, is so much larger than the display window
& is mostly out of view until I try to drag it towards the center of
the itools window.
~~~~~~~~~~
Another time I tried this:
IDL> x=findgen(20)*2+2
IDL> theory=sin(x)
IDL> iplot, theory
and I got this error message:
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
% Unable to invoke method on NULL object reference: OAXISX.
% XMANAGER: Caught unexpected error from client application. Message
follows...
% Unable to create visualization of type IDLitVisNormDataSpace
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
I'm guessing this might be a compatibility issue or a problem with my
display??
any ideas?
thanks a million

Yes, that os what I mean. Sorry, I haven't the foggiest where you
should check your settings. Have you sent this to RSI?

It ran fine on my Mac with the identical setup to yours. What happens when
you do
(at the shell prompt) xdpyinfo
This is what I get. Perhaps this will give you some insight.
