For me it was suggested to put the above in a startup file which solved my
problem with color. I couldn't get no satisfaction putting those settings in
my actual code. Here is my startup file:
~>more .idl_startup
!PATH = '/usr/local/rsi/coyote:' + !PATH
DEVICE, TRUE_COLOR=24, Decomposed=0
When I plot to postscript I had to set Decomposed=1 in the code to get
color.
Good luck,
