Graphics in CATIA is one of the key components that has to be set up properly to get the best quality and performance. Here you will find all the references for the graphical patches that can be used on HP-UX 11.00 to run CATIA V4, V5 and other Dassault Systemes products.

The HP FireGL-UX graphical adapter is now certified by Dassault Systemes. This is effective immediately for:
- CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 Refresh 01
- CATIA Version 5 Release 8 (from SP3)
- ENOVIAVPM 1.5 (PTF10 required)
- ENOVIA Portal Version 5 Release 8 (from SP3)
and higher release of these products.
Please beware that the support requires the installation of the September 2002 graphics patches. Also note that the FireGL-UX is only available on HP-UX 11.xx.
Verify the FireGL-UX minimum requirements for configuring to install and use the new HP FireGL-UX.

- To get the number of frames per second in ogl, export HPOGL_LOG_FRAME_RATE to 1 before starting the application (CATIA V5 for ex.).
- Note that running multi-windows OpenGL applications, such as CATIA V5, may present slight modification of colors when several OpenGL windows are displayed. To avoid this visual effect, you may change a display option in the /etc/X11/X0screens file:
Screen /dev/crt
ScreenOptions
FoodNumFastAttrSlots 0
As CATIA V5 uses some 24-bit windows that are not used by OpenGL and are not expected to be gamma, we recommend you use this option with caution.
- Defining points in CATIA V4 may result of non-filled displayed points. This is a side effect viewable on both FX family and FireGL-UX graphics cards. You can set the HP_FILL_MARKER shell variable to a non null value to make Phigs marker type of -6 to be a solid-fill square rather than an outlined square.
Example: export HP_FILL_MARKER=1
- Indirect rendering is done with the hardware driver by default. However, some features in V5 (Tools > Image > Capture) such as rendering to a glXPixmap may not be available in all hardware drivers, like the FireGL family.
Edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file to uncomment the "AccelerateIndirectRendering" option and set it to false. This option is part of the "ServerLayout" option and will force OGL indirect contexts to be rendered in software.
Ex.
Section "ServerLayout"
Option "AccelerateIndirectRendering" "false"
