Hi All, maybe I´m about to demontsrate my stupidty (again). I want to do "off-off-screen" rendering with GRX, huh, what?? Let me explain. It all works almost fine for one time: I do: GrSetDriver("memory gw 640 gh 400 nc 256"); GrSetMode(GR_default_graphics); GrContext* root = GrCurrentContext(); GrSetContext ( root ); root = GrSaveContext( NULL ); /* doing lots of drawing */ /* ... */ /* after a while, probing what has been drawn,(double-loop x,y): */ c = (*GrCurrentFrameDriver()->readpixel)((GrFrame *)(&(root)->gc_frame), ((x)), ((y)) ); /* => leads to all what is fine. */ This all works fine for one level of offscreen-drawing. Now for the bisquit: Beyond that, I would like to generate another GrContext out of the blue, make some drawings on it, off-off-screen, so to speak, and later do something like the following: GrImage img_local = GrImageFromContext(ImageGrContext_out_of_the_blue); GrImageDisplay(x, y, img_local); to smash this image onto my root-GrContext. The bisquit is this "ImageGrContext_out_of_the_blue": When not in offscreen mode (that is, having said GrSetDriver("xwin...")), it all works great when doing: ImageGrContext_out_of_the_blue = GrCreateContext(width,height,NULL,NULL); Mainly because GrCoreFrameMode() (GrDriverInfo->sdriver.rmode) leads to something usable (??). But when being in offscreen-mode, GrCoreFrameMode() yields NULL. This might be alright, but GrCreateFrameContext() depends on a valid mode, thus returning NULL for the whole function, and blocking all what should follow. Later I tried to spoof this function with ImageGrContext_out_of_the_blue = GrCreateFrameContext(19, ....); (19 is the mode I need, it seems), but this leads to SigSegv. later somewhere in the system. Many thanks in advance. greetings, Joe. -- Joachim Euchner, Prozessrechnerverbund-Zentrale Sekr.: MA 073, FSP-PV, Technische Universitaet Berlin Str. d. 17.
