My first question is: is there a <BR>simple way of doing this? Is there some last simple function that can be <BR>applied to the final pixmap that can alter the colors of the drawing?<BR><BR>The opinion has been expressed that PC hardware will continue to not support <BR>psuedo-colors, and to abandon psuedo-colors all together. Perhaps the <BR>performs penalty will ultimately be a motivation on the long term? However <BR>some applications may not even be alive before that happens. Is there a <BR>temporary solution?<BR><BR>So my second question is, I've heard that the new X.org release offers <BR>software support for pseudo-colors? Could this be used to at least display <BR>on a Linujx machine while these apps while running on an SGI? If so, how can <BR>the issue of the Motif/ViewKit code be handled? There no longer seems to be <BR>a free version. Just pay for the commercial version? Port everything <BR>supported by Mesa, i.e. LessTiff? This is a lot of work I'd prefer not to <BR>have to do.<BR><BR>Even help? </FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
