254.0. "Figure windows with no content" by DECWET::OSHEA (Kate O'Shea) Fri Jan 12 1990 16:32

    Hi,
    
    The log file tells me that five .decw$bookfig figure files were
    successfully included, and when I check the chapter online, the 
    windows for these five figures popup ok (and are the right size -- big), 
    but there is no picture in the window.
    
    Where or what should I look for to solve this?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Kate

    Hi Kate,
    	Give me a pointer to one of the figure files and I'll check it out.
    One thought are there scroll bars and if so did you scroll all the way
    to make sure the actual figure wasn't off screen.

    Mike:
    
    I'll copy the five figures to the following public area on DECWET:
    
    decwet::doclib$:[osptg-public].
    
    All figure file names start with zk- and have the decw$bookfig file
    extension.  
    
    Yes, the figures are really large and have scroll bars both to the
    right and down.  I scrolled to the right, but not down, although the
    space left showing on the down scroll bar was small, so I don't *think*
    the figure was hiding at the bottom -- I'll double check on Monday
    though.
    
    Thanks for your help,
    
    Kate

    I grabbed two of them and they both came out fine for me. So what 
    baselevel are you using to build them and what version Decwindows and
    Bookreader are you using ?  VMS or ULTIX Bookreader?

    We're running the Oct. 27 baselevel.
    
    I have ULTRIX/UWS 3.1/2.1 installed on my workstation, but I run
    Bookreader from a window onto our VMS cluster.  The cluster is running
    VMS 5.3, so it has the latest (VMS-V2) Bookreader. 
    
    I can try looking at the book via the ULTRIX Bookreader...?
    
    What else should I check?
    
    Thanks,
