- This requester will help you change the default color palette of the screen
- JcGraph is on using both RGB and HSV color model. At the top, there is some
- standard intuition gadget (ie Close, Depth, etc...) that need not to be
- documented here (refer to your user manual). The first, leftmost gadget you
- will see is a recessed box that shows the color actually active. Click on any
- color at the bottom of the requester and you will it changed accordingly.
- Right of this gadget is marked vertically with letters RGB followed by three
- sliders. It means that you are in the RGB model an that every one of the Red,
- Green and Blue component of the active color can be modified with the
- appropriate slider at right. Note that values, ranging from 0 to 15,
- representing the amount of each RGB component are written at slider's right.
- This color palette selector also offers you the possibility to work with
- the HSL color model (meaning Hue, Saturation and Luminance), you just have
- to click on the area marked RGB to see it changed to HSL, click back on HSL
- to return to the RGB color model.
- The big, full-color, rectangular gadget at the bottom of the requester is
- quite self-explanatory; it helps you choose the color you want to be activated.
- Next to it, at right, is a kluster of gadget that are decribed here:
-
- COPY: Copy the active color on to another that you will choose after.
- RANGE: Will create a range between two color that you will specify.
- OK: Close the requester and keep your modification
- CANCEL: Cancel all the change you may have done to the color palette.
-
- The menu:
-
- Open...: Load a color palette previously saved. Note that because it is
- IFF format, JcGraph can find color palette in almost any IFF file that
- as CMAP chunk (ie Preferences palette, DR2D file, ILBM, Imagine file,
- etc...), this is handy.
- Save As...: This will save you color palette to a file wich will then be accesible
- with any IFF CMAP palette reader. (Note that some palette reader
- make some false assumption about IFF and may have trouble loading
- JcGraph's IFF file, notabily FreePaint and Commodore's own Palette
- preferences!!!)
- Copy: Copy the entire color palette to the Clipboard.
- Paste: Paste the entire color palette from the Clipboard. (note: that's a
- shame that so few program do that :-()
-
- Note that pressing ESC on the keyboard or closing the window will have the
- same effect as clicking on CANCEL gadget.
