DECwindows truecolor and pseudocolor maps?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have just updated my DEC300-300 workstaion to
ZLX-E3 24bit graphics under DECW-Motif 1.2-4.
with OPEN3D v4.1
 
The default visual now gets set to truecolor on
boot and login (see output from XDPYINFO
attached). This seems to result in a very strange
color map. Setting the default visual to
pseudocolor in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM does
not change the default on reboot.
 
Is there a way to adjust the color map and/or
change the visual id: dynamically.

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact the customer support center.
 
  Expect to be asked for the exact command(s) you have used to set
  this up in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM and for the particular
  Open3D version.  They may likely have a few other questions.
 
	--
 
  The default visual class can be selected by editing the default
  visual class switch in the file DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM:
 
    $! PseudoColor
    $!
    $ DECW$SERVER_DEFAULT_VISUAL_CLASS == "3"
    $!
