pseudo color and true color [message #7879] Sun, 19 January 1997 00:00

I am running an idl application under Solaris 2.5 from a Windows NT
machine using the X/win32 X server.

The Unix box has an 8-bit graphics board. The idl code is built using
color tables and psedo color through and through. But the NT box has a
24-bit video card, and the X server software doesn't allow idl to run in
Pseudo-Color mode (yes, I've tried setting it with DEVICE).

When I display my plots (color-filled contours and images) on the PC, I
get indistinguishable shades of purple instead of lovely rainbows
(colors 0 through 25 in a color space of 16 million).

How can I get around this behavior? Can I somehow generate true color
images if and only if I'm running my code via the PC X server?

Thanks for any help!
