Hi,
   I've been asking the same question for a long time but never got any
response to it; perhaps somebody from SGI can answer me. Here's the
question once again :

   How, using pfLightPoint, can I create light points that covers more than
one pixel on an Indigo machine since the size passed to the pfLPointSize
is passed to the pntsizef GL routines. The man pages for pntsizef clearly
specify that :

     The maximum size of aliased points is 255.

     IRIS-4D VGX model supports antialiased point sizes 1.0 and 2.0, and
     aliased point sizes one through 255. IRIS-4D GT and GTX models support
     antialiased point size 1.0, and aliased point sizes one and two. IRIS-4D
     G mods, Personal Iris, Iris Entry, Indy, XL, XS, XS24, XZ, Elan and
     Extreme systems support only point size one.

and to me it seems an unnecessary constrain not to be able to support points
that has more than one pixel. What should I be doing ?

Thanks in advance !
