Well the problem isn't really the graphic card. The problem is that an
example should not be written that way. It assumes too much user
settings and knowledge of the user so that it usually looks like you
described.

Thanks ! It worked.
Actually my graphics card is a Nvidia 8600 GT, which is a good
graphics card (I there are betters ) but for using 2-d idl plotting.
Thanks ! Again.

Ah, I see.
Yes, well, ITTVIS assumes you will be running a crippled
graphics card. Try these two commands:
IDL> Device, Decomposed=0
IDL> d_plot2d
This is really an inexcusable programming error for a demo
system, in my opinion. Please don't use this code as an
example of how IDL programs are suppose to be written. You
can find MUCH better IDL code elsewhere on the Internet. :-)
Cheers,
David

Hi. Thanks for the answer.
The program already has set RETAIN = 2, when WIDGET_DRAW is called.
wAreaDraw = WIDGET_DRAW(wRightBase, XSIZE=drawXSize, YSIZE=drawYSize,
RETAIN=2)
PD : I am using the d_plot2d.pro program that is included in the IDL
Demos.

Typically, you need to set RETAIN=2 for your
draw widgets on UNIX machines. When I create a draw
widget I usually write code like this:
IF N_Elements(retain) EQ 0 THEN $
retain=(!Version.OS_Family EQ 'Windows') ? 1 : 2
drawID = Widget_Draw(baseID, RETAIN=retain, ...)
Cheers,
David
