Hi,
I am using java 3D to make a graphics program. Everything is working but I
have one problem. On unix(solaris) machines every time i run the program
and enter the frame with the mouse which displays the graph all the colour
gets messed up. The colour on the whole screen changes. It works fine in
windows.
Thanks,
Inderpal

n.b I am using a Canvas3D object to display the graph.

With Java3D, you will also be using the Sun OpenGL extensions... I found
this in the source for GLUT, which is part of Mesa, which is a similar (
compatible ) 3D library...

From: glut_cmap.c (C) Mark J Kilgard
/* Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 have a bug in their
XmuLookupStandardColormap implementations. [ ... ]
Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 create a corrupted RGB_DEFAULT_MAP
property. Note that this [ ... ] prevents Colormap
sharing between applications, perhaps leading
unnecessary colormap installations or colormap flashing.
Sun fixed this bug in Solaris 2.6. */
