Hi, I found in one of the readme.txt the command: DEVICE, DECOMPOSED=0 It will switch if the graphic card is in true color mode to an indexed color mode of 8bit. More information will be found in books or online help Set this keyword to 0 to cause the least-significant 8 bits of the color index value to be interpreted as a PseudoColor index. This setting allows users with DirectColor and TrueColor displays to use IDL programs written for standard, PseudoColor displays without modification. I found following differences to the real 8bit graphic mode. 1. tvrd() did not work! the results are very surprising me 2. if I change the color table e.g. loadct,2 the colors on screen won't refresh I have to start the application again to get the result in the new colors. -- R.Bauer Institut fuer Stratosphaerische Chemie (ICG-1) Forschungszentrum Juelich email: R.Bauer@fz-juelich.de
