To which Antti Miettinem replied: >How about using dither(DT_OFF) while drawing xor-lines? I am happy to report that this does indeed eliminate the ugly artifacts. I also tried calling shademodel(FLAT), since the man page for dither() states that it only takes place when gouraud shading is in effect. This did NOT clean up the problem. - Thanks for the suggestion! Raymond C. Maple WL/MNAA Computational Fluid Dynamics Section Eglin AFB, FL maple@peregrine.eglin.af.mil
