Hi Kwan,

re:
> Here is the GEMPAK color table in the attachment.

OK.

I got together with Michael James (our GEMPAK person) yesterday
to discuss the problem you reported with correctly viewing the
PS remapped hires topography image created by McIDAS.  Michael
found that the fix for the problem is for you to modify your
GEMPAK imgtyp.tbl file.  Here is the information he sent me
last night:

Line 737 of
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/master/gempak/tables/sat/imgtyp.tbl#L737

TOPO                 TOPO_DEM5     0     95     33     16      1   upc_dem5.tbl

should be changed to

TOPO                 TOPO_DEM5     0    240     33     16      1   upc_dem5.tbl 
(or upc_hires.tbl)

Apparently the problem was that GEMPAK was recognizing the remapped
image as topography and was using the top table entry which will map
the 240 image levels in the remapped image to 96 values.

Please give the fix a try and let us know if it works to your
satisfaction (Michael tried this here, and he says the display
of the remapped image looks OK with the above change).

re:
> Thanks again,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
