Full_Name: Edwin Version: 1.4.1 OS: SunOS/Solaris Submission from: (NULL) (130.161.1.115) When selecting an X11 visual on Solaris 2.7 with X11(colortype="true") a PseudoColor visual is actually created. (verified with xwininfo) The system in question (like many UNIX workstations) has both Pseudo and truecolor visual types available, however the default type points to an 8 plane PseudoColor visual. Some applications look for the truecolor visual (netscape, acroread) and use it when available. For others it needs to be explicitely requested (VNC viewer). R seems to do neither and just goes with the default, even if a truecolor type is requested. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

X11(colortype="true") does not give a truecolor visual (PR#1387)
