Glad to help, just remember to switch back to
DEVICE, SET_GRAPHICS = 3
When you have finished this stuff.

cheers

Hi Martin,

That's absolutely, exactly what i was searching for. I want to display a
fMRT with contrast (amplified by slope) over a more detailed anatomical
slice of the same region. I knew there will be a function in IDL to do this
but never heard about the GX functions. Here's the code i use now. It's just
like Christmas !!!

DEVICE, SET_GRAPHICS = 3
LoadCT, ct
TV, amplified_image * (amplified_image GE x)
LoadCT, 0
DEVICE, SET_GRAPHICS = 7
TV, reference_image * (amplified_image LT x)

Thanx to You, Craig and David.

Hi Oliver,
I've been following this thread trying to work out exactly what you want to
do with your images :)
Coming from a background of 8bit graphics, I have often opt for creating a
color table of greyscale with a few bright colors for overlay at one end of
the colortable. However, I dont think that is what you want as it looks like
you are wanting to use more than one color table for different bits of the
image. Ok so heres how: take advantage of Graphics functions and use GXor

The following shows a distace image displayed with the top values using the
hot body scale, middle using grey-scale and lower using black-white color
scale, this should give you the idea.
The key point is to OR each region using a image mask so that no area is
updated twice

; start with GXcopy
IDL> device, set_graphics = 3

IDL> loadct, 3

% LOADCT: Loading table RED TEMPERATURE

IDL> tv, im * ((im gt 130))

IDL> loadct, 0

% LOADCT: Loading table B-W LINEAR

; now switch to GXor
IDL> device, set_graphics = 7

IDL> tv, im * ((im le 130) and (im gt 100))

IDL> loadct, 1

% LOADCT: Loading table BLUE/WHITE

IDL> tv, im * (im lt 100)


hope this is useful - if not its quite pretty anyhoo!
