OK, here's what I have learned:
Plot demo works fine in kbeta.
Oleg's little test works fine in kbeta.
My paint routine draws everything using 11!:2999. Is it
possible that something in 11!:2999 has changed? Seems
unlikely, as grid uses it.
My paint routine is running to completion properly. I
added typeout to show the start of the graphics opcode string
sent via 11!:2999 and it's the same between j and k betas.
I added code to cut the graphics opcode string down to 3 commands,
then 2 commands, then 0: no change, I just have a white window.
I conclude that somehow all my drawing commands are just
not making it to the graphics card.
Might 11!:2999 not know what window to plot into? I select
an isigraph by name, i. e. using
glsel selectedisi {:: 'history';'volhist'
followed by the paint. When the _paint entry point is called
by the system, I assume that the corresponding isigraph has
already been glsel'd by the system.
Awaiting further instructions,
Henry Rich
