Any suggestions for a B&W colour scheme for publication images? [message #55943]

Hello All:

I am in the process of submitting some figures to a journal for
publication (it has been accepted). I intend to save my supervisor
cash by submitting B&W figures for print, and keep the colour images
for the electronic version.

Here is my problem. Originally, I've been using one of the EOS colour
schemes and the figures turn out great. There is excellent contrast
between regions, and the positive/negative values are clearly
distinguished. Sadly, switching the colour scheme to B&W tends to blur
these crucial distinct regions.

I have tried several values for STRETCH. Perhaps I was not using the
STRETCH command properly. Does anyone have any suggestions for values
of STRETCH or GAMMA_CT that have worked for their own publications in
the past? This problem is only further compounded by the fact that
XLOADCT seems to not want to load from my IDL script file, so I'm
limited to what I can do from the within the script.

For what it's worth, I have several figures to convert to B&W, all of
which have different maximums and minimums. Can I use that knowledge
to control STRETCH/GAMMA_CT with these values?

I have two example PNG files I can send to anyone if they would like
to see what I am talking about. Just email me with "GAMMA_CT" in the
subject heading.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

t.
