COLOUR

---- Autoplot Help ----

CO[LOUR][h] [i] [j]
Data elements i - j will be drawn with colour h, where h is the hexadecimal value of the required colour (ie 0-9,A-F).

Not all terminals will support all the 16 colours. If the data elements are already on the screen, they will be redrawn in the same line type with the new colour.

If the data elements are only in memory, they will be drawn with a solid line joining the data points (equivalent to PLOT).

If i & j are omitted all data elements not yet on the screen will be drawn with the specified colour.

COL[our] <element> <colour> <element range>
....changes the colour of existing grid, vector, surface or contour elements on subsequent plots or redraws. The range of valid colour numbers depends on the colour capabilities of the display device. For example, COL GR 4 5 will change the colour of grid element 5 to colour 4. The command COL VEC 8 2 5 will change the colour of the vector elements 2 through to 5 to colour 8.

[Colour/Mono]
toggles the colour. By default, all colours are displayed as specified in the SAVE file. [Mono] forces REPLAY only to plot in the default colour (black/white).

This can be useful if a colour plot is to be replayed to a monochrome plotter.

COLOUR command in AUTOPLOT

The command COLOUR for plotting coloured data elements can be used to affect the colour of all the other parts of the plot, thus:
COLOUR LEVEL n - all subsequent levels will be drawn in colour n.
COLOUR GRID - the ruled grid will be drawn in colour n.
COLOUR AXES n - the axes will be drawn in colour n.
COLOUR BOX n - the box around the plot will be drawn in colour n.

It is not possible to change the colour of these elements retrospectively.

[Colr/Shade] activates a colour bar showing all the available colours. You can choose the required colour by pointing the cursor at the particular colour and clicking the mouse button. The subsequent plot with the [Draw] option will be coloured accordingly.

The mult-colour button in the colour bar represents the [Shade] option.

No shading for SURFACE.
