- Recently I've tried using pixmode(PM_SIZE) to draw packed 1-bit and
- 4-bit images on an Indigo XS24Z running 4.0.2. 4 bit images work fine,
- but if I try to draw 1-bit images I don't get any complaints but all
- the pixels come out as zero.
-
- The manpage is less than clear: it has a note about PM_SIZE<8 not
- being supported on Indigo, but 4 bit pixels *do* seem to be supported.
- Should 1-bit pixels be supported as well, or am I out of luck?
-
- Alternatively, does anyone have a neat trick to let the lrectwrite
- engine do the unpacking? (After all the wonderous things I've gotten
- lrectwrite to do for me with the right incantations to pixmode I
- wouldn't be surprised...)
