trend_color - pen_recoder color table information

Synopsis

trend_color pen_recorder color table information.

Description

This manual page describes the configuration table used by pen_recorder(1) and perhaps other programs to obtain color and font information.

Color Management Keywords

Colors may be specified by using a color name, an RGB hex value, or an RGBi scaler value.

Color names are looked up in rgb.txt in accordance with standard X11 rules.

RGB hex values may be specified in standard X11 format as "RGB:rr/gg/bb" where rr = the red color spec, gg = the green color spec, and bb = the blue color spec. Up to four hex digits may be used for each color, however, the precision of the color specification is dependent on the color depth specified to the X server so you may not get exactly what you asked for.

RGBi values have the advantange that they are color depth independent and gamma corrected. The format is:

"RGBi:<red>/<green>/<blue>"

where each field is a scaler between 0.0 and 1.0.

For example white is:

"RGBi:1.000/1.000/1.000".

COLback

the display background color.
COLchan<n>

channel <n> plot color

N has a range of 1 to 24

COLtext

The color of other parameter fields.
COLlimit

The color used for the parameter value fields when the value has reached the database PhyMin or PhyMax limit.
COLio

The color used for the parameter value fields when there is an I/O error.
COLgrid

The grid color

Examples


Note in the example below that there are only color specs for the first 8 channels.

The pen_recorder is now a 24 channel system so the color specs could be extended for all 24 channels.

The default is to reuse the first 8 colors and channels 9-16 and 17-24.
