problems with GUIAPPS

Guest wrote on Nov 07, 2005

Hi;
I have recently installed GUIAPPS on my Linux machine (64 bit dual Opteron
processor, running Fedora Core 2), and I am having some difficulties with both
xgphot and xguiphot (I need elliptical apertures, and those seem to be the tasks
that allow for that). When I run them, the new GUI opens up (no image
displayed), and a large number of Warnings, such as:

xgterm: warning, error event received:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 72 (X_PutImage)
Serial number of failed request: 2761
Current serial number in output stream: 2765

If I try to resize the Window at at all, the program (and the xgterm!) dies. Is
this something you have seen before, or? Just wondering if this is a known
issue (or problem) related to my OS handing xguiapps, or something more subtle?

I am running IRAF v2.12.2, and installed the latest version of guiapps.tar.gz
this morning.

Best Regards

Pat Durrell

Hi Pat,
The GUIAPPS tasks use the same Gterm graphics/imaging widget as
XImtool and so you're seeing the 8-bit limitation of the widget (i.e.
you're probably using a 24-bit display). In this case there is no
workaround other than to use an 8-bit display (or put the GUI on a
VNC window running 8-bits). The XGPHOT task *should* still be usable
with only an xgterm graphics display or noninteractively, but for the
GUI version you'll need an 8-bit visual. Hope this helps, let us know
if you still have problems.

Regards,
Mike Fitzpatrick

Hi Pat,


I believe that this is an event that should be noted in the history books.
