The `plf` and `pli` commands require a color palette: `palette, name` load the standard palette name `palette, r, g, b` load a custom palette `palette, query=1, r, g, b` retrieve current palette Standard palette names: `"earth.gp"` (the default), `"gray.gp"`, `"yarg.gp"`, `"stern.gp"`, `"heat.gp"`, and `"rainbow.gp"`.
