Hello, I have a scatter plot in which there are some points which represent more reliable determinations than others. I want to plot both kinds of points in the same color but the less reliable ones in paler colors. In a sense, I want to change the brightness of few points on the plot. Is it possible in IDL? I am using color table 13 and plot and oplot procedure of IDL.
Thanks for the help,
Kaushal

The general idea is to convert your RGB colors to HSL, modify the
lightness or saturation, then convert back to RGB, which is what IDL
requires. It looks like this:
cgLoadCT, 13
cIndex
TVLCT, r, g, b, GET=1
cgDisplay, 800, 400
cgPlot, cgDemoData(17), Color=255B, Layout=[2,1,1]
Color_Convert, r, g, b, hue, light, sat, /RGB_HLS
;light = light*0.5 ; Or whatever amount you need.
sat = sat*0.5 ; Or whatever amount you need.
Color_Convert, hue, light, sat, r, g, b, /HLS_RGB
TVLCT, r, g, b
cIndex
cgPlot, cgDemoData(17), Color=255B, Layout=[2,1,2]
END
Cheers,
David
