RE: [nv-l] Problems with backgrounds

I made good experience loading/saving
the gif with xpaint (www.bullfreeware.com) as gif87a in 16 color.

Nope didn't work, still reports
the same message. I'm a bit stuck on this now, this was supposed to be
the easy bit.
 
I have 2 files, saved by the same
gif editor in exactly the same format, one loads okay the other is not
found. The gif87a
format wrappers are identical,
e.g. signature, screen descriptor, global colour map etc. Only the data,
i.e. the pictures are 
different. 
 
I see no no error messages going
to the NV.log or the event log, where else can I look ?
 
Does Netview use common standard
library for loading the gif files ?

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
