Hi all,
There was a message to roottalk some time ago
(http://root.cern.ch/root/roottalk/roottalk99/2430.html) on eXceed colour
map configuration and TrueType fonts.
On trying to display a canvas with text in (or colours in may case), the
message "Error in <RootX11ErrorHandler>: BadValue (integer parameter out of
range for operation) (XID: 16249847)" was produced and the terminal froze.
The solution was to run in Pseudocolour mode and it was asked if anyone else
had similar problems. For me (eXceed 6.0, WinNT 4.0 running Root 2.26/00 4th
October under RH Linux 6.1 on an Intel PII) this change to Pseudocolour
worked except that when running ROOT at the same time with other
applications which use several colours (the RH Gnome desktop for one), most
of the ROOT colours weren't available so plots I'd made previously lose half
of their content.
Is there a way around this via eXceed configuration? It was suggested at the
time of the original message (Oct 99) that a coded workaround could be
made...? ROOT is a great tool but there are odd occasions when I want to run
other apps as well. ;)
Thanks for your help,
Dave Bailey
