I can reproduce the "screwy" image on my display with the
following commands:
IDL> Loadct, 0, NColors=32
IDL> TV,BytScl( BytScl(bindgen(256) # bindgen(256), Top=31))
I'm not sure what this means (it's not even 5AM in the US
at the moment!), but the problem seems to do with a restricted
number of colors. Your monitor would appear to be top-notch.
A graphics driver problem? I really don't know.
What does HELP, /DEVICE have to say?
Cheers,
David
