Hello!

My solution would be to create a plot (using PLOT or CONTOUR) and then
place the colormap into it. I think this is also explained somewhere in
the IDL manuals. This way you also have axes around your plot. Example:

CONTOUR, data, x, y, XSTYLE = 1, YSTYLE = 1, /NODATA

PX = !X.WINDOW * !D.X_VSIZE
PY = !Y.WINDOW * !D.Y_VSIZE
SX = PX[1] - PX[0] + 1
SY = PY[1] - PY[0] + 1

if !D.NAME eq 'PS' then begin

tvscl, data, px[0], py[0], xsize = sx ,ysize = sy

endif else begin

tvscl, congrid(data,SX,SY),PX[0],PY[0]

endelse

Note the difference between PS output where you have scalable pixels and
other devices where you scale the number of pixels. Besides, I wouldn't
use !P.Multi but the POSITION keyword to place your plots (with /NOERASE
for the second and subsequent plots on the page). This gives you much
better control over the positioning of the plots. Hope this helps...

Klaus

Conversation: Using !P.Multi for TVSCL,CONGRID
Subject: Using !P.Multi for TVSCL,CONGRID


Is there a way to use !P.Multi plot using
TVSCL,CONGRID(data,400,400)?
I know !P.Multi works for other plot commands but I'm not able to use
congrid on !P.Multi.

Thanks,
Lee

I'll second that. You can find IMDISP at

http://www.gumley.com/PIP/Free_Software.html

Here's how to use it:

p.multi = [0, 2, 2, 0, 0]
imdisp, dist(8)
imdisp, dist(32)
imdisp, dist(64)
imdisp, dist(256)

Note that IMDISP automatically byte-scales the image, just like TVSCL.

Cheers,
Liam.

The solution is to use a more intelligent plotting routine than just
TVSCL. I like Liam Gumley's IMDISP, but other routines such as
David Fanning's TVIMAGE or Fen Tamanaha's DISPLAY also work.

No, get one of the smart TV commands: TVImage, ImgDist, PlotImage, etc.

Cheers,

David
