2998.0. "screen goes blank" by POBOX::MAMMEN () Tue Jun 26 1990 19:20

*****************Also posted in DSSDEV::GKSNOTES****************
    
    My customer is running a GKS (version 4.0) application on a VAXstation
    II/GPX, VMS 5.3. His application produces a graph in a window. When he
    clicks on the session manager box to do a print screen, the GKS window
    goes black. Is there some GKS logical or option that would allow the
    GKS display to remain visible so he could do a print screen? Or is this
    a problem specific to DECwindows. I've seen it on other graphics
    applications, they may also be GKS.
    
    If not, can he do something to the GKS code to make it work? 
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dave

	Sounds like GKS is using a private colormap. I don't know anything about GKS, but check the docs to see if there is any alternate device type you can use which will use fewer colors. Of course, if PrintScreen is clever, it will work in any case. I don't know if it is or not. Burns
