Setting options in the Custom Colors tab
The Custom Colors tab allows you to specify custom colors that you can use to set object property values. (You set color-valued object properties with the Color Chooser window, which has a Standard Colors tab and a Custom Colors tab.) Both standard and custom colors are pre-populated when Apama is installed, but you can supplement or modify the custom colors with the Custom Colors tab of the Application Options dialog.
1. Select Options from the Tools menu.
The Applications Options dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the Custom Colors tab.
3. Click the Add button to add a custom color to the list.
The Select Color dialog appears.
4. To specify a color, select one of the following tabs:
*Swatches: Standard Java color palette. Mouse over any swatch to view the RGB values for that color
*HSV: Select color choice by hue, saturation, value, and transparency
*HSL: Select color choice by hue, saturation, lightness, and transparency
*HSB: Color selection by hue, saturation and brightness
*RGB: Color selection by red, green and blue intensity
*CMYK: Select color by cyan, magenta, yellow, and black intensity well as alpha level
To delete a color, click the Delete button.
Note:
If an object property is defined by a custom color and you delete that color, the color setting for that object property will revert to white.
Apama stores custom colors according to Color Index numbers, not RGB values. Therefore if an object property is defined by a custom color and you change the Color Index number, the color setting for that object property will revert to white. Color Index numbers must be greater than 5000.
To edit a color definition, in the Color fields click the ... button of a selected color to edit that color definition with the Select Color dialog.
Object limitations: Some objects (for example, the bar graph legend, pie wedges and legend, and some control objects) cache their colors and therefore do not update when a custom color definition changes. To see the color change for these objects, restart Builder or reload the display.
