There is a routine in PV-WAVE to generate a psuedo true color table for
8 bit displays. The routine is called img_true8.pro. You must be running
version 3.1 of PV-WAVE and have installed the optional advanced rendering
library (arl). If you have installed these optional files, this is where
you will find the routine:

$WAVE_DIR/demo/applications/arl/lib

The procedure takes as inputs three arrays that contain the red, green, and
blue components of a 24 bit image and returns a single 8 bit image as well
as the corresponding red, green, and blue colortable arrays. There is an
example program that uses this routine in the following directory:

$WAVE_DIR/demo/applications/arl/examples

The example program is called, img_demo1.pro.
