Why not use the SILENT keyword in LOADCT?

Speaking of colors, I notice Mike Galloy has a nice
colortable file with color tables from ColorBrewer
(http://colorbrewer.org). These color tables are
specifically configured for mapping applications.

Naturally, this file can be used with all the usual
color table loading tools: LOADCT, XLOADCT, XCOLORS,
and, of course, CTLOAD. Check it out on Mike's page:
http://michaelgalloy.com).

Cheers,

David

I have used SILENT. For 20 years. And every time
I did, it annoyed me. Let's just say, I'm not
going to put up with it anymore!

Cheers,

David
