We have a UNIX (DEC OSF/1, on a DEC Alpha) IDL license, and all graphics etc.
works fine when using a UNIX workstation for display. But some of out users
have IBM PC compatibles, and use Vista eXceed for Windows as an X-windows
server. Thus they can run IDL and see X window graphics and the online help
window. Most of this works, except:
(1) both dotted and dashed linestyles (1 & 2) appear as dashed for default
linethickness (1)! (They work if, say, thick=3).
(2) with the online help, the window appears and so does its contents. When
selecting any new page/topic, it also appears. But when scrolling down through
the current page, nothing new appears - the first page of text just scrolls
off the top. In order to see any help that doesn't appear at the top of its
page, you have to scroll down through the blank document, guess where to stop,
and then minimise the window and then restore it - and suddenly the help
appears.
Anybody had this happen? Anybody solve it?
Cheers,
Tim
