David,

I am definately on 24-bit graphics display. If I do the following commands:

a = dist(255) & b = rot(a,33) & c = rot(a,60)

erase & tv, a, 0,0, 1 & tv, b, 0, 0, 2 & tv, c, 0, 0, 3

It looks as it would in windows.

My idl startup tells all:

adac9{24}(~/idl) > more idl.startup

device, TRUE_COLOR=24
device, decomposed=0
!order=1

I'm guessing that your application picks up that I'm using decomposed=0
and takes the sensible precaution of never trying to display more than
256 colors.

I think I used device, decomposed=0 because some of our older
workstations here use Pseudo color. I too am of the opinion that they
are ready for the junk heap.
