Error plotting: 1 is an invalid CGM plotting device number for this site!!!
Description:
Error continued: No files sent. System administration needs to edit /cgm//gqs_cgm_script.csh for this device number. Unable to plot using GeoFrame for the first time but IESX 10.X is plotting fine.
Solution:
This means that the CGM plotting scripts and the device_name.dat file are not set up for the GeoFrame side of plotting. Check the following: In a GeoFrame xterm, cd to $GQS_CGMSUPPORT and do a more on device_name.dat file. This is the list of plotters the CGM scripts access. If it doesn't have a list of plotters for the site, only a demo plotter, then the plotting scripts have not been set up. To set up the scripts do the following: 1.) Copy all the files in the $GQS_CGMSUPPORT directory into a save directory. 2.) Then copy all the files from /home/gqs/exetree_*/cgmsupport to the $GQS_CGMSUPPORT directory. This will copy the device_name.dat file and all the scripts with the case statements exactly as you have been using for 10pX and will enable GeoFrame to plot. Note: * = system (i.e. sgimips, sunsparc)
