Yes. That is the best example for displaying cmap1 palettes that I have found, and like most other examples it is good for displaying cmap0 palettes as well. > One further point - if the user explicitly adds -cmap[0]1 to the command > line should this override any explicit calls to plspal[01]? As I recall this whole command-line options business is a bit of a can of worms so you might look into the suggestion below and find there is an even more urgent options issue that must be solved first. But for what it is worth, I believe the above question should be generalized to how we treat most command-line options. IIRC, they are currently always superseded by the explicit calls, but I think for many of them there would be some usefulness to allowing the command-line option to override explicit calls. Thus, I would suggest implementing this with one more command-line option (let's call it optfreeze for now) to turn off all explicit settings for certain of the command-line options after the parsing of command-line options is done. (IOW, you get the same result regardless of where optfreeze is set on the command line.) You could start by making plscmap0 and plscmap1 optfreeze aware and expand the list of functions with optfreeze awareness as time permitted. I am tempted to say make all such functions optfreeze aware, but there are bound to be a few (such as optfreeze itself) where we probably want explicit overrides to always work.
