Assume they get normalized to 0 to 1. I want to plot these on a color display, with a nice color gradiation. The display is 256 entry color table with 8 bits R,G,B in each entry. I'd like to use around 100, or 128, or something in that range (the exact number is not important). I tried to get some good color maps, but haven't come up with anything I really like. Surely _someone_ out there has done something like this - what did you use? Thanks! Alan M. Carroll "And there you are carroll@s.cs.uiuc.edu Saying 'We have the Moon, so now the Stars...'"
