TEK_COLOR Procedure

The TEK_COLOR procedure loads a 32-color colortable similar to the default Tektronix 4115 color table. This color table is useful because of its distinct colors.

By default, this palette consists of 32 colors. The first 9 colors are: Index 0=black, 1=white, 2=red, 3=green, 4=blue, 5=cyan, 6=magenta, 8=orange.

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