Hi Grass users:
I remember someone asking about the nearly invisible
rubber band box in commands like d.zoom. well I had the
same problem and have a simple fix for it that works well
(at least on a DECstation 5000/200 running ULTRIX 4.2a)
In src/display/devices/XDRIVER/XDRIVER the two programs of
intrest are Get_w_box.c, and Get_w_line.c. The same change
is made in both programs.
FIRST:
approx line #57 of Get_w_box.c change the line
gcMask = GCFunction | GCPlaneMask | GCForeground | GCLineWidth;
to:
gcMask = GCFunction /*| GCPlaneMask */ | GCForeground | GCLineWidth;
SECOND:
Three lines down, comment out the line:
gcValues.plane_mask = BlackPixel(dpy,scrn)^WhitePixel(dpy,scrn);
e.g.
/* gcValues.plane_mask = BlackPixel(dpy,scrn)^WhitePixel(dpy,scrn); */
Then make the exact same changes in Get_w_line.c and do a gmake4.0. This
should make the line visible.
Hope this helps someone !
