Hi all,
probably my question is not clear :( and I'm sorry for this.
I try to explain it better:
I'm able to read a shapefile from which I'm able to obtain the corresponding image which is a binary one. Then I can extract those subscripts values where the boundary is
boundary_index = WHERE(boundary_array NE 0)
my gray scale image has the same dimension of the boundary image and as a consequence I can draw the line over it (in white)
image[boundary_index]=255
What I would like to do i to understand if I could draw this line not in white but in another color, for example yellow.
Is there this possibility?
thanks a lot

I presume you are using indexed color to display your image.
Simply load your image colors into indices 0 to 254 and
use color index 255 to load whatever color you like.
I would do it like this:
LoadCT, 0, NColors=254
TVLCT, 255, 255, 0, 255 ; Yellow in index 255
scaledImage = BytScl(image, TOP=254
scaledImage[bounary_index] = 255
cgImage, scaledImage
Cheers,
David
