I am having a hard time getting a color scale to display for a series of concentration simulations. Even if I do not specify any -c options no color scale appears, which makes it difficult to choose proper increments. Is there any way to force this with concplot?

You can set the color of the color scale by using the -v option in concplot
-v[Values[:labels:RRRGGGBBB color (optional,but must have 2 colons to specify color without label)
for <= 25 fixed contours: val1:lab1:RGB1+val2:lab2:RGB2+val3:lab3:RGB3+val4:lab4:RGB4]

I am also having the same problems for how to choose my customized color scale.

I was trying to set the color scale as [1e5, 1e6, 1e7] with the following command:
/home/XX/Documents/Corteva_work/disease/Hysplit_software/hysplit.v5.0.0_Ubuntu/exec/concplot -i./hysplit2.bin -a3 -oconcplot.ps -j../graphics/arlmap -f1 -b0 -t0 -e0 -d1 -r3 -c1 -k1 -m0 -s1 -v1.0E7+1.0E6+1.0E5 -x1.0 -y1.0E+12 -z70 -u -a0 -: -: -: -: -:

The color range of he output figure however is 1000, 1e5, 1e7. it doesn't look like my setting (-v1.0E7+1.0E6+1.0E5) works

Could you provide a specific example for how to set the color scale/range? This following instruction is a little confusing to me.
-v[Values[:labels:RRRGGGBBB color (optional,but must have 2 colons to specify color without label)
for <= 25 fixed contours: val1:lab1:RGB1+val2:lab2:RGB2+val3:lab3:RGB3+val4:lab4:RGB4]

Besides, i found I have difficulty to understand RGB1, RGB2, RGB3,.... should i put three values in the range 0~255 corresponding to the RGB channels or maybe other format? I would appreciate for a specific example here.

Thank you very much for your time.

the hysplit user guide includes more detailed explanation and that has resolved my issues.

Thanks.
