- Hi,
-
- I would be grateful if somebody could help me with this. We
- have found pageview (the OpenWindows PostScript previewer) to be
- a very useful program, but it has one serious flaw: it seems to
- assume that the default colormap is installed when it runs. As a
- result, if any kind of color image is displayed before pageview is
- run, the colors are trashed. Since we regularly need to look at color
- plots, this is a terrific nuisance. Has anybody else managed to find
- a way around this difficulty?
-
- Thanks for any info,
-
- -- Bill
