A color bar is just a visual record of the colors used
in a graphic display, along with an explanation of the
meaning of those colors. Presumably you know which colors
you used, and you know what those colors mean. Just make
a color bar out of that knowledge. The usual tools are
PLOTS, POLYFILL, and XYOUTS. :-)
Cheers,
