� Move the mouse pointer into the palette bar, hold down the SHIFT key
and click on it. You can tie the color to a specific value (absolute value of
the log or bin number) by entering the “position” into the edit box next to
the Use Data Limit string. Please note that when changing the low/high
scale values of your log the palette limits are updated automatically.
� When placing your cursor on a color slot in the palette the cursor changes
to a double sided arrow. Left click to select the color slot. You can change
the assigned position in the edit box or you can drag (hold down the left
mouse button) the color to a new position.
� To delete an entry simply hold down the CTRL key and left click onto the
color slot you want to remove.
� Repeat the steps to create a full color spectrum.
The palette bar can hold up to 64 different colors (slot 1 to 64). Not all slots have to
be filled. Color values will be interpolated between slots filled by the user.
Click the Store button to save your palette design in the Palette.ini file (or any other
*.ini file that contains your palettes).
To reload a palette click the
Browse button and select a
palette from the drop down list.
You can also specify the source
file containing all the palette
designs and select the desired
palette from the Palette list. The
*.ini file specified under Palettes
File is used for storing your own Load and existing palette design from the specified *.ini file
design as well.
You can design your color palette directly in the *.ini file. If you open e.g. the
Palette.ini file you will find entries of the following format:
Palette1=0,0,0,128,32,128,0,0,63,255,255,0
Palette2=0,0,0,0,63,218,218,218
Each palette is defined through the slot number (zero based index) and three values
giving the Red, Green and Blue intensity. E.g. a palette reaching from red to blue
would be defined as follows:
Palette#=0,255,0,0,63,0,0,255
