no map drawn on Projection Manager widget

[hproe]

Hi -

I am running the Linux 64-bit 1.01 build 18 April. I do not get a map displayed when clicking Projection > New/Edit. When then insisting to Edit or creat a New projection I get an error. This does not happen with the Windows 64-bit version using the same advanced preferences.

Hi HP -

I have the McV build from 4/20 and I tried replicating your issue. I was able to see your problem on a Linux 64-bit machine if I checked on 'Enable Non-Power of Two (NPOT) textures'. If this is checked off, it works. I will write this up as an inquiry.

Thanks

Hi Bob -

Disabling NPOT does not help in my case.

This problem has nothing to do with NPOT as the Projection Manager widget does
not image rendering.

Tom and HP -

In attempting to replicate the problem yesterday, I tried every combination of the Advanced Preferences I could. Turning on geometry by reference, image data by reference, and NPOT textures was the one combination where I saw the problem. However, trying this again today I was not able to reproduce the problem. I must have done something else that time that I was not aware of. So I now agree that NPOT is not an issue here.

HP -

When I was able produce the problem where no map was seen on the Projection Manager, it came after I attempted to edit a previously existing map. There was no error message that I saw. Did you see an actual error message? And if so, what did it say?

What advanced preferences do you have set on? This may also be a graphics card issue. What graphics card do you have? Also, is there any other pertinent information about your machine that may be important in diagnosing this problem?

Thanks

Hi Bob -

Here the full picture:

Notebook is Compaq 8510p.
Graphics card is Mobility Radeon HD 2600 from ATI.
OS is openSUSE 11.4

Opening New/Edit no map is displayed.
Editing any existing map produces an error:

Was there any chance that the maps were part of a plugin? If so, you may want to check that it's installed properly (according to the plugin manager)…pretty much just open up Tools > Plugin Manager and verify that the entries under Installed Plugins makes sense.

Hi HP -

We have tried to reproduce the error that you are seeing on several different platforms using both McIDAS-V and IDV without any success. Are you seeing this same error in IDV?

Thanks -
Bob

Hi Bob -

Both IDV and McV do not display the map preview on the Linux notebook that sports an ATI Radeon HD2600. The 64-bit McV and IDV under W7 on another HP notebook (but not with an ATI graphic card!) work fine. So, it might be a driver problem that must have come along inadvertently in the past during an OS upgrade (it is a very long time I created/changed projections). In this case we might as well close this issue.
