I had a feeling I had done this before. As it turns out, I did:

http://www.ppenteado.net/idl/pp_lib/doc/pp_colorbar_range.ht ml

It was written back in the days of the iTools, but it seems to work
the same with Graphics.

Ok this error message comes if RGB_TABLE is not specified within the
image()

Now the only problem left is to rescale the colorbar from 0 to 255 to
the dataspace

Yes, but I haven't checked those in yet. I'm pretty sure
the book is OK, and the Library is fine. But just the thought
of all those broken links on my web page is giving me
heartburn this morning. :-(

I've got to get to it, but my "final" list is getting
longer, not shorter... Aaauughhhh!

Cheers,

David

Ok. RGBA works properly, but colorbar sometimes says:

% Loaded DLM: XML.
% Unable to create colorbar

and if it works it is scaled between 0 and 255. I guess I need to
rescale it somehow?

Anyone has a clue?

You mean "cgImage" and "cgColorbar" don't you?

Yes, by all means. But, I have a feeling you will be back in the

I already tried an RGB image. Indeed it works for the image but since
I would like to use the first color as a background value the colorbar
has it included!

Maybe it will work with RGBA, I'll try that.


Thanks David, but yours is direct graphics and I would like to play
around with the new graphics instead using your graphics as usual ;)

If I understand this right, you can to map your data into RGB, and
give image() a 3 channel image, which it will display as it is. If you
do that, you can also make it a 4 channel image, with the alpha
(transparency) channel determined by the presence of NaNs, to make
NaNs transparent.

I don't want to intrude on a discussion of function graphics,
which I don't know much about, but all this is *easily* done,
resizeable windows and all, with TVImage and FSC_Colorbar
from the Coyote Graphics routines. :-)

Ok I think I found the problem. Within idlitvisimage__define.pro in
line 1801 there is the bytscl, without the possibility to turn it off.

Would be nice to specify the top and bottom or even turn it off if the
data is already scaled.

Then the next think is the colorbar which didn't match when I update
line 1801 with top and bottom.

Another question, is there any possiblity to set a background value
like NaN in iimage?

All NaN values are transformed to 0 after bytscl?

Yes I do it exactly like this, but image() rescales it again between 0
and 255. How to turn this off?

I am not sure that i understand you question, but perhaps you want
this :

result=BYTSCL( MAT_IN , TOP=100)

Thanks!! I have already a workaround for this ;)

I create a hidden image with the MY max and min values, and then use
the colorbar function on this hidden image "overlay".

ov_im=image([[minv,minv],[maxv,maxv]],/HIDE,/OVERPLOT)
c = COLORBAR(TARGET=ov_im)

It works fine with an RBGA image in the beginning, which I have scaled
myself with BYTSCL.
Unfortunately the colorbar uses always 256 colors/values, so when I
want to use only index from 0 to 100, the rest is black.
I'm playing around now with the 'IDLgrPalette', maybe I can convince
IDL to use only the number of colors specified there.
