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 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.

Aabel viewer color themes provide an interactive means of creating or changing color themes required for different purposes.

• By default, Aabel graphic viewers use a white background with black drawings of chart axis, ticks and grids, axis labels and titles. Color themes can be created and stored, allowing you to define a background color for the viewer; colors for chart axes, ticks, and grids; colors for labels and titles, regression lines, confidence belt outlines and fills, outlines and fills of bars, etc.
• Each color theme you create is stored as part of the global parameters that can be accessed from any viewer (new or existing).
