Hi. Color tables are confusing me greatly. I have a black and white
tiff that I want to draw colors on using the PLOTS procedure. If I
specify a color index, such as color=3, it draws in black. In fact, any
index I put, it draws in black. When I don't specify a color, it draws
in red. How can I manipulate the colors. I am assuming I am in RGB, but
how come I can't specify different colors?
Also, my program takes graphics from the window, stores them into an
array, and then animates them using xinteranimate. However, the default
red plots that are drawn when no color index is specified appear white in
xinteranimate's display. Why aren't they red?
You'd think in a language written to produce multimedia easily would not
make colors so confusing....
Please help!

: Read the manual.
Thanks a bunch for the advice, but the lack of clarity in the manual's
explanation is exactly why I'm posting my question to the newsgroup in
the first place!!!!
