PTB error when using DrawDots

1

Hello everyone


When I apply the function DrawDots in my script, I receive following error messages:


PTB-ERROR: You requested a point size of 1.000000 units, which is not in the range (0.000000 to 0.000000) supported by your graphics hardware.

Error in function DrawDots: Usage error

Unsupported point size requested in Screen('DrawDots').


Does it mean that my graphic hardware is too old to use this function?

Or are there any way to fix this issue?


Thanks

Best regards,


Weishung

Dear Mario

I just make a test by using following script, but it still doesn't work.

[wPtr,rect]=Screen('OpenWindow',0,[0 0 0]);
Screen('DrawDots',wPtr,[300 200]);
Screen(wPtr,'Flip');
WaitSecs(3);
Screen('closeAll');

My graphics is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470, and I am using Windows 7 as my operating system.

Thanks
Best regards,
