Good day

i create surface in iSurface tool. But it's color little bad for data
analysys - there is only one color.

Can I set, for example, blue color for minimum values and red color
for maximum values ?

Thanks

Update - I found it, I think. Take a look at VERT_COLORS keyword.

If so, here is an article that might help:

The surface can only be one color - do want to color the values
according the the z-value? Maybe you can warp an image onto it?
That's beyond me... sorry.

Oh, it's what you need, alright. :-)

Here is an article that describes how to create a
color table between red and blue colors:

http://www.dfanning.com/color_tips/create_colortable.html

Once you get the color table constructed, you make a
palette out of it like this:

palette = [[redVector],[greenVector], [blueVector]]

Then you use this palette and the VERT_COLORS as described
in this article:

http://www.dfanning.com/ographics_tips/elevation_object.html

I can assure you, it works perfectly. :-)

> without object graphics ?

Sorry, we are moving into the future. :-)

But, if you had to:

TV, palette
Surface, data, SHADES=BytScl(data)

Cheers,

David

Look at the isurface help. vert_colors needs to be the same length as
the data, or it will be repeated.

LOADCT,5,RGB_TABLE=c_table
; ISURFACE,data,VERT_COLORS=colors
