Mathematica v 3 on PowerPC seems to have a bug in its PICT conversion.
Here is sample Mathematica program that illustrates this.
ar = Array[Sin[#1 #2]& , {10,8}];
gr = ListPlot3D[ar, Background -> RGBColor[.5, .5, .5] ];
(*Convert to PICT*)
SetDirectory["YourStorageMedium"];
Display["grPICT", gr, "PICT"];
(*Convert to QT*)
Show[gr];
ConvertTo/QuickTime (fileName "gr.QT")
Now drop the stored PICT file into SimpleText and for me it gives same
picture as the QuickTime file.
But if I change to Background -> RGBColor[.4, .4, .4] , "gr.QT" is
OK, but "grPICT" goes white!
So now I'm going on a search for fixes to the Mathematica v3 PICT
converter. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
