Dear Folks,
Since I switched to Mavericks (MacOS 10.9.1), my function graphics (NG) plots
all (mostly?) turn out as featureless black rectangles when first realized.
The graphics render properly if I subsequently click on them, and usually appear
if I execute their refresh method.
The same code creates immediately visible graphics on my linux machines.
So, it's an OS-dependent misfeature.
What's the right way to fix it?
I'm running IDL 8.3 on Mavericks (MacOS 10.9.1) under XQuartz 2.7.5.
Many thanks,
David

I solved this problem as collateral anti-damage by implementing the
workaround for the crashes that IDL suffers when closing NG windows on
some platforms. Specifically, this is the workaround for bugs
IDL-57214
IDL-58285
IDL-58839
that is discussed in the Release Notes for IDL 8.3:
On a Mac, the fix is:
$ cd /Applications/exelis/idl/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64
$ sudo mv gl_driver.so gl_driver.back
TTFN,
David
