If you take a ''Meter'' indicator (the one with the rainbow colored scale) to the FP and resize it above say 725x320 pixels the rainbows colors will suddenly change to three sectors of merely green, yellow and red.

Is this an artifact of my LabVIEW 6i on Mac G3? It is a rather cosmetic bug and I would like to know its range. In my case though, I would have liked to use a full monitor size single meter for large screen data projection.

I have tried to duplicate this on LabVIEW 6.0.1 on Windows 2000 and the meter looks like it should. Perhaps you video adapter needs updating or your resoultion is set to low.

The problem indeed seems to be limited to the Mac platform and senior LV developer Greg McKaskle posted the following explaination on info-labview:

***************quote*************
The mac version of the rendering engine fails to allocate rendering context larger than 512 pixels wide or tall. When your meter gets above about 710, that is when the radial ramp goes above 512 and the allocation fails. When it fails, LV reverts to using a noninterpolated ramp.

Future versions of the render engine will hopefully not have this limitation or we will learn to work around it.
