2640.0. "blank postscript capture?" by MARX::FLEMING (X, lies and videotape) Mon Apr 23 1990 15:44

When I Capture Portion of Screen from the session manager
all 'highlighted' areas come up blank when printed.  For
example, capture a window with input focus to a postscript
file.  Print it.  The title bar is blank.  This used to work 
correctly in the last version of decwindows.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

    When you say that printscreen outputs blank areas on the
    page, I assume you are starting with a color image? In 
    DECwindows V2, printscreen changed the algorithms that it
    uses to convert color images to black-and-white. I don't
    know the details. Perhaps it is now converting the color 
    of your title bars to white whereas they were black in V1? 
    
    You might be able to workaround this by slightly changing 
    your highlight color.

  It does work when I try it on a black and white monitor.
  Seems like the improved algorithm needs a little tuning.
  Thanks,
