Function:ss2lcm
From S2PLOT
ss2lcm
Load a colourmap into memory.
Prototype
int ss2lcm(char *imapfile, int startidx, int maxn);
Description
Load a colourmap into memory, starting at index startidx, read a maximum of maxn colours. Returns the number of entries read and stored. Map file format is per line:
index red green blue
with all integer values. Colour components are in the range [0,255]. The imapfile containing the colourmap should be stored in the directory pointed to by the environment variable S2PLOT_TEXPATH The index column is currently ignored. After calling this function, it is usual to call s2scir(startidx, startidx+retval-1) to activate this colormap for subsequent use.
