Hi,
Could someone tells me what good this is for? This might
superficially look like a good idea because of being lighter on the
graphics card but this is for sure a false good idea. Because those
transformation are not cheap and because they basically doubles the
required memory to display the graphics. We should just let the
system (and Qt) do the required optimisation by using a QPixmap
instead of a QImage. Displaying in gray scale is not bringing any
performance improvment, quite the contrary actually. Also, I don't
understand why we need global rc settings for those as well as local
ones.
This is all useless IMO and I would like to erase it all, objection?
You are talking about the monochrome functions? They are used by the
macro code to render the parts which cannot be changed.
As you mention rc settings, you mean something else probably.
Right, nothing to do with that. I am talking about the optional
monochrome and grayscale display of graphics.
So, no other objection?
OK, none then :-)
I'll patch the removal patch as soon as I fixed one remaining issue WRT
InsetExternal and the preview option. This InsetExternal is*very*
undocumented, the only interesting bits I found thanks to google is this:

Is this yours Jürgen? Why is this not integrated in our manuals?
But even this document doesn't really tell me what this preview option
in the display combo box is for... So question: am I right to say that
'preview' is for external material that needs latex compilation like the
math instant preview and that 'graphics' is for raster image external
material? Is there anything else I need to do know about these?
Abdel.
