Hi Ferreters, Here comes a tool for creating single colored palettes, "palette_maker_solo". You can use the RGB colors available on your computer to create fancy color palettes. Let us get some nice colors for our plots ....please have a look at attached GIF file. This GO tool is a follow-up to the "rgb_colors" posted earlier (see the links below). palette_maker_solo takes 3 arguments, like GO palette_maker_solo [rgb_color_name], [palette_filename], [YES/NO] All arguments should be in double quotes. 1st argument is the RGB color name, case/space insensitive. The GO tool will assign a default palette file name, based on the specified color name. If you want to override this, use the 2nd argument. The 3rd argument is for changing the case of filename to lower case, if "YES" is chosen (default is NO). Try the following example : yes? GO palette_maker_solo "LightSeaGreen" !will create LightSeaGreen.spk yes? GO basemap "","","","LightSeaGreen" As with the rgb_colors, there is support for users who has problem with "showrgb" command. Please see the comments and examples to the beggining of GO files. The attachment (palette_maker_solo.tar.gz) contains the following file : palette_maker_solo.jnl --> for those whom "showrgb" command works palette_maker_solo_custom.jnl --> for those whom it does not work rgb_colors_custom.dat --> " " Related Posts ------------- rgb_colors http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2006/msg00725.html http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2006/msg00736.html palette_viewer http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2007/msg00373.html Wishing you all, a great, productive week ahead!
