You do not have to use any color scheme and
may manually specify each item’s color as
described above. Alternately you may select
one of the standard color schemes listed in the
“Std. Color Schemes” group which will default
all the colors for you. To choose a color
scheme simply highlight the desired one and
click the “Apply Color Scheme” button. This will
change the colors for every item to what is
specified by the selected color scheme.
The Color Map button activates the dialog for
selecting what color(s) to use when creating the
color map (Figure 7-14).
The color map dialog contains two buttons
labeled From and To which represent the color
for the minimum Y-axis value and maximum Y-
axis value respectively. In the center is a
representation of what the color map would look
like. To change one or both of these colors
click on the From or To button and select a new
color.
The color map uses 100 different colors. These
colors will appear differently on a 256 color or
higher display (SVGA) versus a 16 color (VGA).
The colors displayed also are dependent upon
what other applications you are currently
running in Windows. Windows provides access
to one single color palette between all active
applications. If you have another application
that has locked its colors into the palette ID-
2000 may not be able to display the full range of
100 colors. However, when the other
application is closed ID-2000 should have full
access to the palette and all 100 colors will be
displayed.
The last group is labeled “Transparent” and
represents the color that will be considered
“transparent”. ID-2000 needs to have a unique
solid color specified which it can use when
overlaying multiple images so that the images
on the bottom will “show through” the images on
top. The color specified as transparent must
not be used for anything else.
