Hi, Bill
*One* of us is confused. You are using ps.map, correct? If so, where do the
pen numbers fit into this? And, of more interest to me, what command are you
using to specify the raster map color? As far as I know, which doesn't mean
too much, the only way to alter the color of a raster map in ps.map is to
change its colortable (unless you print it as "greyrast"). Please respond,
so I can figure out if I'm losing my mind or not! :^)
