That's good to hear.

I'm not sure if I just made a lucky guess or if palettes are meant
to be more widespread in object graphics. The relevant part of the
manuals is, um, vague. It states several times that palettes can be
added to models *and* graphics atoms but nowhere documents how to use
a palette with an atom. I've done a fair amount of testing with
IDLgrSurface objects and it seems to work just as you would expect
(and saves fair bit of memory when you plot large arrays). I don't
know if the same trick works with polygons and polylines, but it's
easy enough to try.
