Assigns custom colours for rendering contours.

 

Map3D uses 16 base colours for contouring.

 

The colours are used as follows:

 

Colour 0 - screen background colour.

Colour 1 – below range contour colour.

Colour 2 through 11 – contour colours.

Colour 12 above range contour colour.

Colour 13 – Tension cutoff colour.

Colour 15 – foreground colour, used for text, block outlines, trajectory symbols and grid lines.

 

 

Reassigning a colour is a three step process:

 

1.Pick the colour you want to redefine from one of the "Custom Colors:".
2.Set the new colour you desire by picking from the "Basic Colors:", picking from the "Color Matrix", or by setting the "Hue: Sat: Lum: Red: Green: Blue:".
3.Push the "Add to Custom Colors" button.

 

The custom colours are saved between analyzes in the map3d.ini file.

 

Contour colours can be set to Map3D default values by selecting
