Load Main Colors File

Controls: Edit Menu >> Colors & Line Styles >> Load File
Macro: LoadRGB

This button loads .RGB files holding colors plus Line Width and separate Line Styles for each Input and Output channel. The new settings take effect immediately.

In addition to any files you have saved with the Save File operation discussed above, Daqarta also includes Default.RGB to restore the original colors, plus Line_Styles_3.RGB with four different line styles at a line width of 3, also BW_Style_3.RGB and Gray_Style_3.RGB examples for creating images suitable for black-and-white printed manuscripts.

Macro Notes:

LoadRGB= without a file name will invoke an Open dialog showing all .RGB files, with the default set to Colors.

LoadRGB="MyColors" will invoke an Open dialog with the default name set to MyColors. (Note that quotes are needed around all filenames in macros.) If you accept this by hitting Enter or the Open button in that dialog, Daqarta will assume you want to open a file named MyColors.RGB and will fail if that file is not found.

After either of the above commands, you may use IF.Posn?f=0 to see if the user has hit Cancel or [X] instead of choosing a file name. This allows your macro to exit gracefully or take other action.

A.LoadRGB="MyColors" will open MyColors.RGB directly, without any dialog.

LoadRGB can use string variables and expressions. For example, LoadRGB=Field1 will use the contents of Field1 as the default file name, and A.LoadRGB=Field1 will load a file with that name directly.
