SAC Command Reference Manual

LOADCTABLE

SUMMARY

Allows the user to select a new color table for use in image plots.

SYNTAX

LOADCTABLE n | [options] [filelist]

where n is a number (currently between 1 and 17) of a standard SAC color table stored in directory SACAUX, or where options is the following:

DIR CURRENT|name

options MUST preceed any element in the filelist.

INPUT

n:The number of a standard SAC color table.
DIR CURRENT:Load color table from the current directory. This is the directory from which you started SAC.
DIR name:Load color table from the directory called name. This may be a relative or absolute directory name.
filelist:file
file:A legal color table filename. This may be a simple filename or a pathname. The pathname can be a relative or absolute one.

DESCRIPTION

This command allows the user to select a new color table or provide their own custom color table by specifying the color table file with a pathname, relative to the current directory. If the DIR option is not used, SAC looks first in SACAUX for the color table, then in the user's working directory.
