- Description
- This command determines the background color of the display in each mode of
- operation.
-
- Specify whether you want to change the background color for the geometric,
- solid or Drawing Sheet Generator module, for all modules, or just for the
- module you are currently working in. If you enter `g', `s', or `d', you are
- prompted to enter three numbers indicating the relative amount of red, green
- and blue in the mix for the background color for the selected module. Confirm
- the color for each.
-
- If you enter `a' for all modules, you are prompted, one by one, to enter three
- numbers indicating the relative amount of red, green and blue in the mix for
- each module. Confirm the color.
-
- If you enter `c', you are prompted to enter three numbers indicating the
- relative amount of red, green and blue in the mix for the background color for
- the module you are currently working in. Confirm the color.
-
- The background color will be modified accordingly.
-
- The numbers must be in the range of 0-1000.
-
- To dynamically change the mix using a dialog box, press <ENTER>.
-
- When working dynamically with a dialog box, select the color to be changed
- from the color map. The color selected appears as the current color number
- and the current sample color changes to that color. Change the hue values
- numerically using the keyboard or use the scroll bar by:
-
- * pressing B1 on the relevant arrow to change the value in increments of 10
- * pressing B1 on the scroll bar to move the button to that position on the
- scroll bar
- * pressing B1 on the scroll bar button and holding the mouse button down
- while dragging the scroll bar button up or down
-
- A number set of 0 0 0 gives a black background, and 1000 0 0 is red (1000 out
- of 1000 red, 0 out of 1000 green, and 0 out of 1000 blue).
-
- The actual colors depend on your graphic board and display.
-
- The following buttons are available in the dialog box:
- Button Operation
- OK accepts the selected color mix and saves the color table for the
- current work session only.
- SAVE accepts the selected color mix and saves the color table in the
- define.tbl. This color table will be used until a new color table
- is saved.
- CANCEL exits the dialog box without saving changes.
- RESET cancels any changes and resets the initial color table.
