FLYING MONKEY SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES COLOR MATCHING APPLICATION AND
OBJECTS FOR NEXTSTEP.


WEST CHESTER, Ohio, June 14, 1994 -- Flying Monkey Software announced
the availability of the ColorMatch application and color matching and
related objects, FmsColorMatcher, FmsColorList, and FmsColorListSet,
for the NEXTSTEP community. Graphic artists may now find chromatic
closest matches in their work, while developers may enhance their
application with matching and color list grouping.


  ColorMatch

  With ColorMatch, you may select any number of color lists or groups
  of color lists and match a color against them. Simply bring the color
  lists into the application, and drag in colors. Closest chromatic
  matches are located in the color lists and placed into a color well
  for dragging from. Both rectilinear (RGBA) and cylindrical (HSBA)
  color models are supported. Color sensitivity controls are provided
  to allow fine-tuning matching criteria. Collections of color lists
  may be saved as color list sets to leverage production-level needs.
  A complete user's guide is included.


  FmsColorMatcher : Object

  The core of ColorMatch is the FmsColorMatcher. It allows programmatic
  access to matching, color model, and sensitivity setings. Given a
  color and a list of color lists, it will locate the closest matching
  color and allow subsequent access to the color list and color name of
  the matching color. Rectilinear (RGBA) and cylindrical (HSBA) color
  models are supported.

  FmsColorList : NXColorList : Object

  Enhances the NXColorList object by preserving and revealing the path
  the colorlist was loaded with.

  FmsColorListSet : Object

  Stores a group of FmsColorLists to a file for later access. Useful
  when repeated access to collections of specific color lists are
  required. An icon representing a color list set is provided.

All objects come with NeXT-style documentation.
