Hi David,

Here are how the images look. Both of these images are of the same
variable:
bytscl(bindgen(256) # bindgen(256))

This first image is how it should look, and it does using other display
programs on my monitor:

This image is a screen-capture using TVRD() of the same variable
displayed in IDL using either TV and TVSCL.

http://hem.passagen.se/fysikern/idl/idl_display.tif


The monitor I have is a CRT high-resolution mammography monitor (around
1500x2500 pixels)

Any helpful hints?


Mark
