Color Management

Aabel presents the user with several methods for color coding data and customizing charts. The color palettes and color gradient palettes in Aabel are represented using default colors. However, you can freely change the items of a palette or create new color gradients from simple, complex, or pure colors.

Color Palettes, Color Scale, and Color Palette Editor

Color palettes are present in worksheets, the graphic viewer, database metaphors, and all chart customizing dialogs. They allow choosing or modifying colors of markers, lines, fills, contours, color-coded tables, text, etc.
When using a color scale to represent data, the data range will map to the color space of the gradient palette. You can customize the color gradient palette or create and save new palettes for different plotting purposes.
The color editor in Aabel is interactive and easy to use.
If you are changing a color gradient range and a chart on the current viewer is using the color range, the changes you make in the editor will be dynamically updated on the chart.
