    Hi,

    I'm using a Lenvo Carbon X1 notebook (6th generation) with an Intel UHD 620 graphics board and idl 8.4.

    When I try plotting data using the plot function the graphics window goes black (until white as it should) and the graphics look completely wrong (black background with blurry white lines). Funnily, when I save the grapics as png and import them e.g. into powerpoint they look like they should. I only encopunter these problems with idl. I have already deinstalled the graphics board and reinstalled it with te most up to date driver from Lenovo. Then the graphics look fine but after a while they go crazy again.

    Has anybody encountered a similar problem and found a solution to this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Andreas

    If you go to the IDLDE-> Windows->Pref->IDL->Graphics and set the rendering method to 'software' does this help?
