X11 and 8-bit Color
April 8th, 2003 by Marcos
Joanna Thomas-Osip at Las Campanas Observatory emailed with a helpful tip on getting ximtool to work with Apple’s X11. You need to start up X11 from the command line like so:
% /Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 -depth 8
You still may need to tweak ximtool itself by using the -maxColors flag as specified on the X11IRAF page. I will add this to the FAQ shortly.
