2.6 Adjusting the Color Palette
The Setup > Colors command lets you adjust the color palette used by FasTrac Millennium.
If you have access to the Advanced Baron Chart (via the Setup > Data > Baron
Chart command, see section 6.3.3), you should use it rather than the Setup Colors
menu to adjust radar colors. Also, you should use the Setup > Map > Map Layers
command discussed in section 2.1 to adjust mapping colors.
The following steps describe how to use this particular
function:
1. Select Setup > Colors to open the Setup Colors menu.
Note that a color value is assigned to each listed element.
2. Select an element, and click Edit to open the Choose
Color menu.
3. Adjust the color, which changes as you edit the values.
There are six options: Hue, Saturation,
Lightness, Red, Green, and Blue. Enter a
number from 0 through 255 in each of these
spaces to specify the amount of that component
to include. You can also move the sliding
pointer below the rainbow colored bar to raise
and lower the hue value. You can click
anywhere on the large colored box to the left of
the number boxes to automatically change the
values of that color (this method affects every
value except the hue). As you change the
numbers, the rectangle below the number spaces indicates the color.
Press ENTER or click OK when you have adjusted the color to the way you want. You can exit
without making any changes by pressing the escape key (ESC) or by clicking Cancel.
