And it should be easy, right? I mean you've encapsulated all your display code into a
routine, say "display_data" (right?), so all you have to do is

; default color table index
cidx = 0

repeat begin

; Load color table
loadct, cidx

; display data
display_data, mydata

; Get new colour table index
read, "New color table index [0-40] : ", cidx

endrep until (cidx lt 0 or cidx gt 40)

?

cheers,
