Programming Color Palettes

Except for the default black and white palette or the Simple Color palettes (?*r#U), palette entries can be modified. The three primary components of a color are specified and the resulting color is assigned to the palette entry indicated by ?*v#I.

In the explanation below, the term “component” refers to the color space primary colors. For example, if the current color space is CIE L*a*b*, component 1 indicates CIE L*, component 2 indicates CIE a*, and component 3 indicates CIE b*.

Color Component One

This command specifies the first primary of the palette entry designated by the Assign Color Index command (?*v#I).

?*v#A

#= First Component

Default

=

0

Range

=

–32767.0000 to 32767.0000 (up to 4 decimal places;

 

 

command is ignored for invalid configurations)

The Assign Color Index command actually applies this value and then resets it to 0.

Color Component Two

This command specifies the second primary of the palette entry designated by the Assign Color Index command.

?*v#B

#= Second Component

Default

=

0

Range

=

–32767.0000 to 32767.0000 (up to 4 decimal places;

 

 

command is ignored for invalid configurations)

The Assign Color Index command actually applies this value and then resets it to 0.
