If I were going to use the ArcBall to rotate a surface,
for example, I might set the colors up like this:

; Colors for the surface.

Device, Decomposed=0
LoadCT, 5, NColors=200
Set_Shading, Values=[0,199]

; Colors for the ArcBall.

yellow = GetColor('yellow', 200)
white = GetColor('white', 201)
black = GetColor('black', 202)
red = GetColor('red', 203)
green =GetColor{'green', 204)
colors = [white, yellow, red, green, yellow, black]

Then, when I was ready to set up the ArcBall, I would call
it like this:

arcBall = CW_ArcBall(baseID, Colors=colors)

You can find the GetColor program on my web page:

Cheers,
