Re: blt tests

[Rick Riolo]

Ginger,
For the blt tests, I'm saying the entire graph (or barchart) is about 
6-8cm wide. They are tall as you suggest, and the resizing seems to work
as you suggest.  This happens when the X-server (the display screen) is 
the same as the client (ie where the test is running) or if the Xserver
(display screen) is a different (dec-ultrix) machine.

For the apps/market application, the commondity-price vs time
is about 5cm wide...it looks fine. But the other apps/market graph and 
the barchart are obviously not right: when the Xserver is the hpux 
machine/screen, the graph and barchart data-parts are < 1cm wide!! 
I can't really see any lines, and can barely see the bars.  
But when the Xserver is a dec-ultrix (still running model on hpux),
the apps/market graph and barchart are a little wider, maybe 2cm or so.
Still not as wide as the commodity price graph, though.

I haven't had a chance to try some things nelson suggested.
maybe a little later this week.
