This is a continuation of an old thread (same name). I'm maintaining a webapge for this issue at http://www.polarcom.com/~patawi/matt/work/MI-Buffer.html The original complaint was (is): I have two buffers with exactly the same characteristics (same table, pattern, colour, width, and layer) but they don't display or plot the same. One is transparent, the other isn't. This isn't the first map this has happened with. +++ Since the workspace opens fine on a different computer which is exactly the same except for the video card (Elsa Gloria XL) the vid driver was the cuplrit, for a time. However booting in Standard VGA also replicates the problem. Also, the buffer which should-be- transparent plots non-transparently. Images of this problem can be found on the web page mentioned above. As always, anybody who can shed light on the subject will have eternal gratitude and ML fame. :) -matt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
