odd behavior of loadct [message #12027] Mon, 15 June 1998 00:00

System = Powermacintosh

IDL V5.1

startup file

cd, 'Public Area HD:Codes'
DEVICE, RETAIN=2, DECOMPOSED=0

commands....

z=dist(40)
shade_surf,z --> draws in gray shades
loadct,37 --> no change
shade_surf,z --> changes to colortable 37

Isn't suppose to change the surface colortable when
I issue the loadct command rather than waiting for a redraw?

If I run DEMO first, then loadct works when I issue the command.

It must set some variable, which I am not setting when I start up.

Any help?

Thanks,

John Boccio
