Understanding Color in IDL [message #50552]

Folks,

A quick look at my web page statistics for the keywords people
use to find my pages convinces me that understanding how color
works in IDL is still the number one problem for new users.
(Closely followed by how to get decent PostScript output and
how to calculate the log base 2 of a number, apparently.)

I've written a number of articles on color over the years,
but I've never collected this material into a single
coherent explanation. I've attempted to do that now with
a chapter I've written for the 3rd edition of my book.
(Please don't hold your breath, but I *am* working on it,
off and on.)

I've made the chapter available as a PDF file for
those who might be interested. If you are still confused
after reading it, please let me know. I'd like to get
this right before the book is published. :-)

You can find a link to the PDF file here:

Cheers,

David

P.S. Actually, the number one way people come to my web page
is searching the Google image archives for "pretty girl oktoberfest",
but I don't want to get into the reasons behind that!
