Folks, I guess I was feeling ambitious, but I like those Brewer Colors so much, I decided to update all my color programs to support them. The following programs have been updated: http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_color.pro http://www.dfanning.com/programs/xcolors.pro http://www.dfanning.com/programs/pickcolor.pro http://www.dfanning.com/programs/pickcolorname.pro http://www.dfanning.com/programs/ctload.pro To use Brewer Colors with with XCOLORS or CTLOAD, you must either download the brewer.tbl file from Mike Galloy's web page, or download the fsc_brewer.tbl file from mine. Mine contains only the 256-element color tables from Mike's nice file: http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_brewer.tbl If you don't have a clue what I am talking about, here are some references: http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_in tro.html http://michaelgalloy.com/2007/10/30/colorbrewer.html The brewer color table file must be installed in the $IDL_DIR/resource/colors directory, or in the same directory containing the color program source code files. (More or less.) Other Coyote programs may also be required. You can download all the Coyote programs here: http://www.dfanning.com/programs/coyoteprograms.zip Or, if you never bothered to see how your IDL programming life could be significantly improved, you can read all about the programs in the Coyote Library here: http://www.dfanning.com/documents/programs.html Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
