The XLOADCT procedure is a utility that provides a graphical widget interface to the LOADCT procedure. XLOADCT displays the current colortable and shows a list of available predefined color tables. Clicking on the name of a color table causes that color table to be loaded in true color decomposed visual. Many other options, such as Gamma correction, stretching, and transfer functions can also be applied to the colortable.
This routine is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file xloadct.pro in the lib/utilities subdirectory of the IDL distribution.
XLOADCT [, /BLOCK] [, BOTTOM=value] [, FILE=string] [, GROUP=widget_id] [, /MODAL] [, NCOLORS=value] [, /SILENT] [, UPDATECALLBACK=`procedure_name' [, UPDATECBDATA=value]] [, /USE_CURRENT]
None.
Set this keyword to have XMANAGER block when this application is registered. By default, BLOCK is set equal to zero, providing access to the command line if active command line processing is available. Note that setting BLOCK=1 will cause all widget applications to block, not just this application. For more information, see the documentation for the NO_BLOCK keyword to XMANAGER.
| Note |
The first color index to use. XLOADCT will use color indices from BOTTOM to BOTTOM+NCOLORS-1. The default is BOTTOM=0.
Set this keyword to a string representing the name of the file to be used instead of the file colors1.tbl in the IDL directory.
The widget ID of the widget that calls XLOADCT. When this ID is specified, a death of the caller results in a death of XLOADCT.
Set this keyword to block processing of events from other widgets until the user quits XLOADCT. A group leader must be specified (via the GROUP keyword) for the MODAL keyword to have any effect. By default, XLOADCT does not block event processing.
The number of colors to use. Use color indices from 0 to the smaller of
Normally, no informational message is printed when a color map is loaded. If this keyword is set to zero, the message is printed.
Set this keyword to a string containing the name of a user-supplied procedure that will be called when the color table is updated by XLOADCT. The procedure may optionally accept a keyword called DATA, which will be automatically set to the value specified by the optional UPDATECBDATA keyword.
Set this keyword to a value of any type. It will be passed via the DATA keyword to the user-supplied procedure specified via the UPDATECALLBACK keyword, if any. If the UPDATECBDATA keyword is not set the value accepted by the DATA keyword to the procedure specified by UPDATECALLBACK will be undefined.
Set this keyword to use the current color tables, regardless of the contents of the COLORS common block.
