MULTI Procedure

The MULTI procedure expands the current color table to “wrap around” some number of times.

This routine is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file multi.pro in the lib subdirectory of the IDL distribution.

Examples

In the following example, we first display an image with the current color table. Then we load color table 1 and make that color table “wrap around” three times. The image is drawn again with the wrapped color table.

; Determine if Indexed or Decomposed color
; is being used
DEVICE, get_decomposed=d
; Set color display mode to Indexed Color 
DEVICE, DECOMPOSED = 0
; Create the window
WINDOW, /FREE, XSIZE=(512), YSIZE=(256), $
