Merging a palette from the command line
You can specify a Palette file, of your own choosing, to load when you start Visaj by setting the VISAJOPTS environment variable or by making it an argument to Visaj.
Using the VISAJOPTS environment variable
Here is an example of how the VISAJOPTS environment variable is used:
setenv VISAJOPTS -Dvj.AWTPalette.file=/u/me/paletteFile
where /u/me/paletteFile
is the full pathname of your palette file. The syntax of the line will depend on the shell or operating system you are using.
Microsoft Windows NT
If you are using Microsoft Windows NT, you would use the following:
set VISAJOPTS=-Dvj.AWTPalette.file=\u\me\paletteFile
making sure that you use the backslash character ('\') instead of the forward slash character ('/') when specifying a pathname.
Microsoft Windows 95
It is not possible to use the VISAJOPTS environment variable on Microsoft Windows 95. If you wish to set up Visaj so that a particular palette is always loaded on that system, you will need to create a batch file containing a command line configured like so:
visaj -Dvj.AWTPalette.file=\u\me\paletteFile
