Folks,

I guess I was feeling ambitious, but I like those Brewer
Colors so much, I decided to update all my color programs
to support them. The following programs have been updated:

http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_color.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/xcolors.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/pickcolor.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/pickcolorname.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/ctload.pro

To use Brewer Colors with with XCOLORS or CTLOAD,
you must either download the brewer.tbl file from
Mike Galloy's web page, or download the fsc_brewer.tbl
file from mine. Mine contains only the 256-element color
tables from Mike's nice file:

If you don't have a clue what I am talking about, here
are some references:

http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_in tro.html
http://michaelgalloy.com/2007/10/30/colorbrewer.html

The brewer color table file must be installed in the
$IDL_DIR/resource/colors directory, or in the same
directory containing the color program source code files.
(More or less.) Other Coyote programs may also be required.
You can download all the Coyote programs here:

Or, if you never bothered to see how your IDL programming life
could be significantly improved, you can read all about the
programs in the Coyote Library here:

Cheers,

David
