Hi David

Thanks for all that information - unfortunately some of it is way over
my head! As I said, I've never used postscript outputs before or IDL
and am desperately just trying to get some coloured graphs out! I've
only recently started using IDL, so am ideally looking for something
very basic - I just want to be able to have red/blue/green plots with
white background and black text/axis. Which of the programs does this
(I presume fsc_color.pro)? I tried to read some of the code, but got
bogged down after a while, but understand that your program just
allows us to reference a colour by its name.

This is probably an incredibly stupid question (but I'm a complete
programming novice!), but how do I actually use your program? I
presume I have to copy the fsc_color.pro into IDLDE and save that as a
program, but then how do I load that program within my code?

Sorry for the basic questions, but I don't have a clue what I'm doing
and really need a simple step-by-step guide!

Thanks
Chloé
