I used to be able to create color .gif files (with RGB values) with old versions of IDL. Now I am using the "WRITE_GIF"function with version IDL 8.3, and I can only create gif's using color tables (not RGB frames), thus greatly limiting color options for my gifs. Do you have any advice? Thanks

Adam, As far as I know, IDL has only worked with 256 color GIFs and not true color GIFs which support many more colors. According to Wikipedia, GIFs are allowed 8 bits per pixel, or 256 colors. Were you using true color GIFs before in IDL and now you cannot?
