| Depends on whether your terminology is the same as X's. I would say the
answer is yes. With X11, you can have any number of "virtual" colormaps.
The hardware determines how many of them can be installed at once (that is,
if different windows want different colormaps, how many windows can have
the right colors simultaneously?). As to more than one colormap per
window, this doesn't make sense to me, so I am probably not understanding
the question. And finally, you should not that not all workstations must
support grayscale. For example, a GPX with a color monitor does not have
a gray-scale colormap. If you put a mono monitor on it (and tweak the
little logical to tell it what you did) it will have a grayscale colormap
but not color one.

| 674.2 | Why a seperate visual vs loading color map with shades of gray? | STAR::BMATTHEWS | | Wed Apr 26 1989 17:46 | 8 |
| Although GPX doesn't provide a grayscale visual type if your monitor is color
you can of course load a colormap with shades of gray. I suppose there is no
real reason why we shouldn't provide multiple visual types for GPX with the
default being the one that matches your monitor but it doesn;t provide any
additional functionality over setting up the pseudo color map to be grayscale
or bitonal or 3/3/2 true color, right?

| 674.3 | What was that logical? | SLOAN::HOM | | Sun Apr 30 1989 01:55 | 5 |

| 674.4 | Actually, you want to do the symbol | DECWIN::FISHER | Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23 | Mon May 01 1989 21:59 | 10 |
| Sorry, it is not a logical; it is a symbol (GLOBAL!). Put the
following line in a file called SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM:
DECW$COLOR == "FALSE"
That should do it. See the file *.template for examples and more
documentation.
