Do you mean that you want the color of each XY point to be specified
in a third array (Z)? To do that, you will need the routine OPLOTS,
which is a simple extension to OPLOT to take care of things like that.
Search this group to find the routine, and call it like:

oplots,X,Y,psym=2,color=COLOR_INDICES
