If you need both windows viewed simultaneously with their own
colormaps, and you don't mind using half the available colors
for each, then Liam's solution is the way to go.
If you want to assign each window it's own complete colormap,
and have that colormap restored when the cursor moves into the
window, you can use the KBRD_FOCUS_EVENTS keyword when you
create your draw widgets. You'll have to have a unique EVENT_PRO
for the events from each of your draw widgets. Then in these
event processing procedures put something like:
PRO draw1_event, event
name = strmid(tag_names(event, /structure_name), 7, 1000)
case (name) of
"KBRD_FOCUS": begin
; Entering program area so load colors
if ( event.enter eq 1) then $
loadct, 0, /silent
end
...
END
You should check out David Fanning's XWINDOWS routine, as it is
a good example of this technique, though he does it slightly
differently. I believe his web page has a tutorial on this as well:

Hope this helps.
