Hi,

 

    Problem is some of the backdrops work and some dont, they are all specifed as 87a format

and 256 colours, pixel depth 8 bits. I will try and reduce the number of specified colours to see if it helps.

 

Thanks for the idea.

 

Andy

Subject	[nv-l] Problems with backgrounds

We are running Netview V5R1 on digital unix 4.0F.
 
I have to set the background of various submaps to customised displays. I have the
problem that in some cases the bitmap works, in others netview reports
 
"background file not found"
 
The file format is the same in all cases gif 87a Interlace, the files are all in the
same place !  
 
Does any one have any ideas ? is the a relevant patch / work around.
 
I have tried xpm file but the quality drops too much.
 
Many thanks
