This routine loads the colour palette for the currently open graphics device from an HDS container file in the users ADAM directory. The file is called " kappa.palette.sdf" and contains a palette for different devices. The file should have been created by KPG1_PLSAV. If the file does not exist, the current colour table is left unchanged.

Each palette in the file is a _REAL array of shape (3,n) where n is the number of colours in the palette. The first colour (Index 1 in the array) is the background colour and is usually refered to as colour index zero. Therefore the highest colour index in the array is (n-1). Each array has a name which identifies the graphics device to which it refers. Each array has a name which identifies the graphics device to which it refers.

CALL KPG1_PLLOD( STATUS )

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
