variable number of colors available on screen [message #8342] Mon, 24 February 1997 00:00

When starting idl I get different number of available colors each time.
The number of colors seems to depend on how many colors spent on
other processes?
When creating a color bar the top half is red. When entering
xpalette the number of colors is varying between, let's say
100 - 150.
When plotting to postscript this works out fine, but when
plotting to screen, the colorbar is changing.
Is it possible forcing idl to use 256 colors?
(I'm on a Unix-workstation.)
