Hello,
I have sent this summary once already, but never saw it hit the list, so I
am resending it. If this is a repeat please excuse it.
My question was:
I am using Snapshot to do screen dumps in OW3. The window that I want to
dump has a black image, and therefore is printed as a large black box with
white lines in it. This is a real waste of printer toner. Is there any
way to reverse the image, so that you get a white sheet of paper with black
lines on it????
Details:
Sparc10 GX, 4.1.3, SparcPrinter, NewsPrint 2.1
I want to thank the following people for responding:

swa@alpine.for.nau.edu (Steven W Andariese)
hkatz@nucmed.NYU.EDU (Henry Katz)

The Solution:
Most of the suggestions were to obtain 'xv 3.0' program. This utility will
allow you to change the colormap of any image. This is the solution that
I am using. I obtained the utility via ftp from cis.upenn.edu
Another suggestion was to get the PBMPLUS Toolkit, available from numerous
ftp sites. This is also a working solution.
Another suggestion was to use the xpr utility, with the reverse option.
I tried this method before, and found that it was incompatible with my
application. It may work for others though.
A final suggestion was to setenv CANVASCOLOR WHITE in .cshrc. I have not
tried this option yet.
Thank you all!!!!!!
