implot problem

Paul S. Hardersen wrote on Jan 16, 2009

Hi Mike -- DS9 image solved. Performing an implot throws garbage on the screen. I re-did mkiraf just in case to ensure I chose xgterm, but the problem persists. Again, this is a Mac, so is there is specific workaround here? Thanks, Paul

Garbage on the screen means your either not using a graphics terminal (i.e. the Mac Terminal.app doesn't support graphics), or you're using an XTerm when you told iraf it was an XGterm (or vice versa).

Could it be a permissions problem? Also, I'm using the X11 app in the Mac, not the Xterm.app.

By default, X11 will start an Xterm as the window. You can use this, but you need to tell IRAF it;s an xterm. If you want to use XGterm you generally need to start it explicitly and then login to iraf from that window. It's certainly not a permissions problem.
