| 3681.1 | Maybe using a different color map ?? | WIDGIT::WEST | SCARY : A programmer with a screwdriver. | Mon Nov 19 1990 09:33 | 11 |

They may be installing their own colormap. The Session Manager print
screen only uses the default colormap.
My print screen program as well as others such as UTOX have the capability
to use a _different_ color map when capture screen data.
You may want to look into these.

| 3681.2 | Pointers needed... | TAV02::ITAMAR_E | | Mon Nov 19 1990 12:01 | 12 |
| Hi,
I believe you are right. So far, from what I'd investigated the
problem, it seems that Unigraphics uses its own colormap.
I'm waiting for an official response from their representative here,
since the prolbem exists also in other sites.
Meanwhile, I think it will be good to have an optinal print screen on
hand, just in case... I'll be glad to get a pointer to these assets.
Thanks,
Itamar.

I believe that print screen only uses the default colormap
of the screen. If the application uses a private colormap,
as I would guess that Unigraphics does, they will probably
get something like you see.

We have spoke with the Unigraphics support here, (in Israel), and the told
as what you just wrote. It does not uses the default colormap.

Where can I get your program? May we give it to our Unigraphics customers?
I do not know if DEC permits to give UTOX to customers. Beyond that, I think
that UTOX is "over skilled" although it dows the job.

UTOX is availible to customers through the Office/Publishing ASSETS library.
However, I'm not positive that it will capture a colormap other than the
default one - I simply have never tried it.

RE: .4
First...let me point out a few things with my program.
Yes, customers can _have_ it.
It is written in Ada (My C version isn't finished yet).
It generates color or monochrome SIXEL files.
You can capture the entire screen or just a portion.
As I said it's Ada...which means VMS platform only. I can provide you
with source and/or and executable. You or the customer can customize it
as you see fit.
It only works with 8-planes or less (I'm still working on a color
quantinization routine for the colors from a 24-plane system...this will
be in the C version.)
Is this acceptable ??
