NAME

       pgmramp - generate a grayscale ramp

SYNOPSIS

       pgmramp -lr|-tb | -rectangle|-ellipse width height

DESCRIPTION

       Generates  a  graymap  of  the  specified size containing a black-to-white ramp.  These ramps are useful for multiplying with other images,
       using the pnmarith tool.

OPTIONS

       -lr    A left to right ramp.

       -tb    A top to bottom ramp.

       -rectangle
	      A rectangular ramp.

       -ellipse
	      An elliptical ramp.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

NAME

       PDL::Graphics::LUT - provides access to a number of look-up tables

SYNOPSIS

	use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT;
	use PDL::Graphics::LUT;

	# what tables are available
	my @tables = lut_names();

	# get the reversed colour table 'smooth',
	# with the gamma intensity ramp
	my ( $l, $r, $g, $b ) = lut_data( 'smooth', 1, 'gamma' );

	# use the table idl5 in ctab
	ctab( lut_data('idl5') );

DESCRIPTION

       PDL::Graphics::LUT contains a number of colour look-up tables (in rgb format) and intensity ramps, and provides routines to access this
       data.  The format of the data is suitable for use by "ctab" in PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT.

       Unlike the initial release of the package, the data tables are now stored within the PDL distribution as FITS files (see $tabledir and
       $rampdir), rather than in the module itself.  Changes to these directories will be picked up on the next call to one of the package
       functions.

FUNCTIONS

   lut_names()
       Return, as a list, the names of the available colour tables.

	@tables = lut_names();

   lut_ramps()
       Return, as a list, the names of the available intensity ramps.

	@ramps = lut_ramps();

   lut_data()
       Load in the requested colour table and intensity ramp.

	( $l, $r, $g, $b ) = lut_data( $table, [ $reverse, [ $ramp ] ] );

       Returns the levels and r, g, b components of the colour table $table. If $reverse is 1 (defaults to 0 if not supplied), then the r, g, and
       b components are reversed before being returned.  If not supplied, $ramp defaults to "ramp" (this is a linear intensity ramp).

       The returned values are piddles containing values in the range 0 to 1 inclusive, and are floats.

VARIABLES

   $tabledir
       The directory in which the colour tables (in rgb format) are stored.

   $rampdir
       The directory in which the intensity ramps are stored.

   $suffix
       The suffix for the data files in $tabledir and $rampdir.

FURTHER INFORMATION

       The colour tables were taken from the STARLINK GAIA package, and are provided under the GNU copyleft.  See http://star-www.rl.ac.uk/ and
       http://star-www.dur.ac.uk/~pdraper/ for more details.
