I'm stumped again (as usual). We do a lot of plotting with 2D GMR. We have
a short program which re-opn
re-opens an existing GMR metafile and then uses GM_$PRINT_FILE to make an
OUT1 format file which we can then translate into HPGL for our plotter.
The problem is that as of SR10.2, this stopped working for most (but not
all) metafiles. What we get is (usually) an OUT1 file in which the first
command is the end-of-file command and the rest of the file is filled with
zeros. It is *not* a problem re-opening the metafile. If I do a
GM_$DISPLAY_FILE after re-opening, the file is display correctly on
the screen. Any ideas of what to do next?
