I have a question regarding different behavior between versions/platforms. I am working on a (very simple) ocean model, and I use OpenDX to look at the output. I do most of my code development on a linux box, but I do the actual simulation runs on a couple of SGIs. I have OpenDX installed on both machines; 4.1.3 on the linux box, and 4.1.1 on the SGIs. I have a network to generate plots of streamfunction and vorticity, and I use a data-driven colormap in which positive values are red and negative values are blue, with intensity going from 0 to 1 as the values get more positive/negative. In linux, I don't have any trouble running this network as a script, but in IRIX, it hangs, or returns without doing anything. I get output that looks like:
Starting DX executive Open Visualization Data Explorer More Info at www.research.ibm.com/dx and www.opendx.org Version - 4.1.1 Memory cache will use 64 MB (5 for small items, 58 for large) 1: worker here [221495] 0: worker here [221634] and then nothing. I also got a warning about the script and the executive coming from different versions, but editing the version line in the script removed that warning. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? More generally, the manual states that the colormap module .is only available through the user interface. Shouldn't it be possible to use a data-driven colormap in a script? Is this the source of the problem, and if so, why does it seem to work in linux? Cavendish McKay
