I took a little break from this printing item but am now back at it. I got to thinking over the weekend, I am using a colormap for my plot. Could this be the reason I am not capturing the colors? The pixmap that I am creating from my QGLWidget does not know how to associate the colors with the colors stored in my Colormap. My colormap is not referenced off a QGLColormap however. So is there a way to set a colormap for my pixmap to help it capture the colors that are really supposed to be there. All I still get is a black and white image. Thanks again for your help!!!
