Frank,
Thanks (it works now) but let me abuse of your patience with one last 
question.
the
hColorTable = GDALCreateColorTable( GPI_RGB );
aways allocates a 256 color table. Is it possible to control the number 
of color entries ?
Or, alternatively, to remove a certain number of colors from the 256?
The code I'm working in is a Matlab MEX file. The only thing the code 
knows is that it received
a ML colormap and those, by default, have only 64  colors (but they can 
also have up to 256).
