[gradsusr] Grads 2.1.a3 - Problem plotting Intel graphic

[Love, Mr. Gary, Contractor, Code 7542]

Hi Simone,

 

Your plot appears to be black-on-black.  Have you tried ‘set background 1’ or ‘set display white’  then ‘clear’ to create a white background in the display before you render your plot? I had to fiddle a lot with these commands when I converted to Grads 2.1.a2.

Hi all,

 

I'm posting here after days of searching and testing with no results.

 

I have a specific problem that seems to affect Grads 2.1.a3 ( but I think even the latest versions ).

 

I can reproduce it, with my specific input files like with the official grads test too.

 

Here are some details of my tests:

 

Hardware:

 

PC Lenovo with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 CPU with integrated Intel graphics.

 

PC HP DC7900 ( old 2008 model with Intel graphics too )

 

Software:

 

O.S. Linux Ubuntu 16.04

 

Kernel 4.4 & Kernel 4.5

 

With and without Intel graphics update tool 2.0.2 installed

 

Used Grads 2.1.a3 as binary downloaded from your site or package from ubuntu 16.10 via apt pinning .

 

Intel update tool packages installed:

Problem:

 

I cannot graph correctly the image, in attach the results with model.ctl file used as a test.

 

With grads 2.0 no problem everything is ok in this PCs.

 

I think it's a Intel graphic problem, but Kernel upgrades , Intel drivers updates doesn't change anything.

 

Do you have any ideas? 

 

 

I cannot use other distributions , I use grads without problems on various Fedora and CentOS servers, but in this case I need it to work with this Ubuntu version and hardware!

 

Any help is really appreciated,

 

Regards all

 

Simone
