We use the commands: Some tips on this. On suns with the overlay plane (3/60, 3/110, 4/xxx) a sunview screen may have some of the display on the B&W plane, and other parts on the color planes. The default is to use the B&W plane for most windows, and the color planes for the canvas windows. When you do a screendump, you can specify either plane. You may, therefore, only get half of what you want. You can start up SunView using just the b&w plane, or just the color plane. see sunview(1). There is also a known bug that if anything moves on the screen (like the minute hand on a clock) during the screendump, the image may be corrupted. -- Bruce G.
