Hi.
I have an strange problem today, I use IDL.7 under linux(ubuntu) .
I try to change the background color. with below command I create the
window.
window,xsize=1400,ysize=1400
TVLCT,150,50,120,0
plot,x,y,/psym,yrange=[5.6,5.75],xrange=[9.5,11.8],charsize= 3 ,title='
none ',background=180 /NoData
I use both commands(TVLCT and background) and change the numbers ,but
still the window is in black !
but when I write the TVLCT command in the terminal and run the file ,
the color changes!!!!!!
how can I control the background color from inside of pro not
terminal ?!!
best,nakisa

My experience is that when I've had such problems, they are related to
DirectColor graphics.
HELP, /DEV
should tell you whether you are using TrueColor or DirectColor. You
want TrueColor. Usually,
DEVICE, TRUE=24
should solve the problem (as the first command before any other
graphics commands!), but also I assume you are using DECOMPOSED=0.

The easiest way to get a different background color in a
device independent way is to use FSC_COLOR. It doesn't
care about your DEVICE setup, etc.
Plot, indgen(11), BACKGROUND=FSC_Color('light sea green'), $
COLOR=FSC_Color('dark red')
FSC_Color now supports 200 named colors, and you can add your
own, if that isn't enough for you. You can find it here:

David

Hi David , happy new year.
I test it but it doesn't work , even I try the samples on your webpage
at (http://www.dfanning.com/documents/programs.html)
on both cases IDL returns this error:
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
Can you guess what is the problem ?
