GRASS, XV, X (revisit

[John E. Parks]

In reply to 'NG's' letter of...
-------------------
] I have tried Grass with xv and the results are lot of
] lightening on the screen, I get the color of the map to be different
] when I try to run grass and xv at the same time. If I have to view a map
] seperately then using pbm may be a good idea but if I am running something
] dynamically, in other if a map is created and displayed immediately then
] xv alters the color table of the GRass maps.
-------------------
1st  - You're dealing with two pieces of software which both use private
       color maps.  X-windows switches out those colormaps everytime you
       move from one window to another (at least this is what I presume
       is happening on your display).
2nd  - My original thoughts on this were not to address the problems of
       two separate programs (they're apples and oranges) but rather to
       invite the merging of the two into a GRASS interface.  Hence one
       private colormap with one piece of software with all those nice
       little doo-dads that I'm sure impressed you with XV.
