Hi Troels,

You are correct that OpenDX is ugly!  It's quite old software and it
uses and ancient GUI widget set - Motif.  Despite this, the software
is incredibly powerful for visualising optimisation spaces (among
other things).  It is especially useful for showing why certain models
or optimisation fails.

Anyway, the way I run this is:

- Run 'dx',
- Click on 'Edit Visual Programs...',
- Select the map.net program created by relax,
- Now I'm getting unrecognised comment errors - strange, I've not seen
that before :S.  I'm using OpenDX 4.4.4 for Linux, so that's probably
the difference.  Note the files you have attached are not those
directly from relax, you must have saved in your OpenDX version.
- Select the menu entry 'Execute->Execute on change'.

That's it.  I now have a 3D frame, but nothing in it.  Therefore the
contour levels must be too low or high.  From the map file, the values
are in the hundreds of thousands.  Then:

- In the main program window, double click on the 'Isosurface elements'.
- Change the values until you see surfaces.  In the first the value is
500.  I changed this to 500,000.
- In the second, 100 -> 100,000.
- In the third, 20 -> 20,000.
- In the last, 7 -> 7,000.

This should maybe be performed by the dx.map user function,
determining reasonable contour levels, but I have never implemented
this.  Anyway, now I have a proper plot.  With a bit of zooming,
clicking on 'File -> Save image' in the "Surface" window, "allowing
rendering", and outputting to a large TIFF file, "save current", then
"apply", I have the image cropped and converted to PNG in the GIMP at
https://gna.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=20641.  Note that for a good
resolution plot, you will need many more increments.  Using the lower
and upper dx.map arguments will be useful to zoom into the space.

Regards,

Edward
