Hi Ken, > A few months ago I posted an E-mail about problems with the 2D > rendered > display on a Mac running MacOSX. The problem is still occurring and I > would like to know if anyone has had any success in this area. Sorry to say we haven't made any progress. I don't have a Mac OS X box so I cannot reproduce the problem. I recall that I tried a couple of changes which you tested but none of my changes fixed the problem. The root of the problem is that Java2D does not includes a universal API for simply creating a java.awt.Image from an array of true color pixels. Instead the application has to parse the ColorModel of the particular machine. Java2D should support an API where applications can specify red, green and blue radiances as floats and let the machine specific code worry about packing them into bits. To make further progress, I'm going to have to ask for help from java2d-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxx. Can you please capture and send me a GIF image of the bad display? As I recall, you had ther problem in appletviewer but not running as an application? If this is true, please also send me a GIF image of the way the display should look. And any other information about the problem. Thank you, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
