initialize() is a low-level function, so think of this as a 'hack'.

yes I came across that yesterday and fixed it in the 'devel' version of
this package; should have warned you, sorry.

I think plotting in multiple colors is meant to be supported by multiple
calls to cColor, first with probes to be colored "red", then with probes
to be collored "black". The development version has been updated to
support multiple color specifications.
