Re: [Plplot-general] Problem with color map1 and the tk driver

[Geoffrey F. <fu...@ac...>]

Or maybe the problem depends more on the characteristics of your X
server and the X visual you are using.  Maybe the output of xdpyinfo
would be helpful.  Also, does it (the problem you were seeing) depend
on what other apps are running on the X server at the same time?  For
example, Netscape and XEmacs can sometimes hog colors.  If you're on a
256 pseudocolor visual and most colors are absorbed by a previously
running Netscape, PLplot can get into a bind on color allocation.
