NAME xm_color - Color format for the xmap8 program SYNOPSIS xm_color - Input File Format DESCRIPTION Default colors are set for xmap8 at run time. These include 60 map colors plus 2 image palettes of 40 colors each. The image palettes include a rainbow-like spectrum and a red- black-blue spectrum useful for tomographic results. FORMAT The color map is divided into 3 parts: The first 27 colors are used by the program in various drawing routines. The assignements of these colors to specific objects are defined below as an option. Otherwise these objects take on default colors. Color numbers 28-60 are free colors, useful for making complicated geological maps. You may use the first 28 colors for making maps also. The 2 image palettes are for plotting contours and images. They can be modified inthe same way that map colors are modified. You can modify the colors by installing two optional files: setenv XMA_PALETTE /full_path/file_name this modifies the 60 color palette so you can choose any colors (paint) from the X color library. I may add an R-G-B option here, but I have not worked that out yet. setenv XMA_COLORS /full_path/file_name is a file that has a mapping of the colors in the palette to the objects that get colors. This is the part that is not completely tested yet since I had to go back to all the (20K lines of) code and un-hardwire all the color asignations. If something does not color as you expect, better get in touch with me and I'll fix it. So now, if you don't like the green stations that I always draw, you simply make a file that includes this line: sta_col 2 (to get red stations with the default palette). The names of these are somewhat cryptic, to shorten the typing. I will make a more extensive documentation later. Alternatively, you can change the green paintbrush to a red one by change the default palette (7=green), 7 "red" This file is read in a program start up. "Dump Colors" prints out the current color scheme and palette. So now you can view fancy earthquakes in any color you want and you can change the background etc..... Any changed color is also changed in the postscript color output. However, the default colors do not match exactly between screen and postscript rendering. This is because my experience with screen versus paper output has instructed me to fiddle with the colors for better paper reproduction. If you don't like the default translation, modify the color for a specific paintbrush (number) and you wil get a direct translation of the screen color inot postscript. ----------------------- Default Palette: 0 "black" 1 "white" 2 "red" 3 "light blue" 4 "mediumpurple" 5 "azure" 6 "darkorange" 7 "green" 8 "plum" 9 "LemonChiffon1" 10 "SeaGreen1" 11 "DeepSkyBlue1" 12 "turquoise1" 13 "DeepPink" 14 "gold" 15 "lightcyan" 16 "OldLace" 17 "DarkSlateGray" 18 "DarkSeaGreen" 19 "GreenYellow" 20 "orange" 21 "RoyalBlue" 22 "SkyBlue1" 23 "cyan1" 24 "DarkSlateGray4" 25 "dimgray" 26 "beige" 27 "aquamarine1" 28 "LightPink" 29 "yellow1" 30 "SkyBlue" 31 "LightSeaGreen" 32 "MistyRose2" 33 "tan4" 34 "LightCyan2" 35 "PeachPuff1" 36 "lavender" 37 "magenta3" 38 "pink" 39 "green" 40 "PaleGreen3" 41 "SteelBlue2" 42 "moccasin" 43 "DeepPink" 44 "AntiqueWhite" 45 "cornsilk2" 46 "khaki" 47 "bisque3" 48 "PaleGreen" 49 "IndianRed" 50 "LightSalmon" 51 "thistle1" 52 "LightSkyBlue1" 53 "MediumAquamarine" 54 "yellow2" 55 "MintCream" 56 "sienna4" 57 "salmon" 58 "LemonChiffon" 59 "SeaGreen1" ------------------------ Default Color Scheme: special_src_col 13 special_sta_col 19 special_perim_col 21 special_name_col 1 back_label_col 0 name_label_col 2 date_col 3 fill_arc_col 21 draw_arc_col 14 fancy_src_col 21 fancy_perim_col 14 magscale_col 1 special_station_col 19 exploding_line_col 1 back_foc_col 1 ptax_col 0 faultplane_col 0 strikeslip_col 18 rev_oblSS_col 23 oblq_norm_col 20 obl_rev_col 22 reverse_col 21 norm_oblSS_col 19 normal_col 2 xsec_color 1 box_xsec_col 18 zoom_box_col 22 spline_col 22 spline_points_col 1 sta_col 7 bord_col 2 back_fill_col 24 stuff_col 3 map_col 3 src_col 14 title_col 6 picsource_col 5 text_col 3 background_col 0 foreground_col 1 SEE ALSO xmap8 xm_color xm_hypo xm_map xm_menu xm_origin xm_points xm_raster xm_station xm_well xm_wire xm_xsec xm_ellipse
